Herbicides are used both worldwide and in Lithuania to accelerate plant growth and increase competition with weeds. Weed competition is one of the most important biotic stress factors leading to a reduction in crop production. Herbicides have been found to cause abiotic stress to plants. Abiotic and biotic stresses of varying severity affect plant development, growth and ultimately productivity. Crop competition with unwanted plant species leads to lower yields, yet herbicides are considered to be the main effective tool for the control of unwanted weeds in modern crop production, helping to protect crop yields, economic profits and reducing competition between plants. The overall use of herbicides continues unabated worldwide, including in Lithuania. Thus, in order to avoid excessive use of herbicides, it is crucial to analyse the potential of using bioactive, environmentally friendly products to accelerate plant growth, to eliminate the adverse effects of herbicides on plants and, ultimately, to reduce the use of herbicides in agriculture. Plant probiotics may serve this purpose, but their potential for use has not yet been fully explored. The potential for their inclusion in plant biotechnology packages for crop production needs to be explored as part of the European Green Deal strategy, incorporating new technologies in the development of sustainable farming policies. In order to clarify the potential of probiotic preparations in eliminating herbicide-induced damage to plants, an analysis of biometric and biochemical parameters (stress level markers, enzymatic and non-enzymatic defence system and hormonal system) will be performed.
