Abstract: The present invention relates to plant extracts and their use as biostimulant and biocontrol agent. More specific, the invention provides extracts of plants of the genus Helianthus which are capable of modifying root architecture and stimulate root development in plants. Hence, said extracts can be used to control plant development such as e.g. improve general root architecture, nutrient uptake and increase tolerance of plants to drought. In addition, these extracts can be used to control plant disease.
