Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is an important crop produced worldwide. Natural or synthetic products including phytostimulants, biofertilisers, biostimulants, bioregulators or phytoprotectors have been developed over the years. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of foliar application of micronutrients (essential minerals), growth regulators, extracts of the microalga Porphyridium cruentum and their mixtures on variables related to the growth and production of wheat (height of the plants at harvest, number of tillers per plant, weight of 1000 grains, pod length and yield). The experiment consisted of randomised blocks with four replications, consisting of 16 treatments (control, Zn, B, Cu, Mn, Zn+Cu+B+Mn, indolebutyric acid (AIB), 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP), Zn+Cu+B+Mn+AIB+BAP, P. cruentum freeze-dried polysaccharide (PS), P. cruentum freeze-dried material (FM), Zn+Cu+B+Mn+PS+FM, AIB+BAP+FM+gibberellic acid (GA), commercial-B, commercial-A and commercial-E). The single foliar application of micronutrients, commercial products containing micronutrients, growth regulators (indolbutyric acid, 6-bezylaminopurine, gibberellic acid and their mixtures), freeze-dried polysaccharide and biomass of P. cruentum, and mixtures of micronutrients and growth regulators did not potentiate the development and productivity of the wheat crop. The average height of wheat plants at harvest was 77.81 cm and ranged from 80.05 cm when the comercial-E product was applied to 74.43 cm with the application of P. cruentum polysaccharide extract at a dose of 62 g ha-1, which resulted in lower crop yield, although the difference was not significant. Additionally, the individual application of the P. cruentum polysaccharide extract did not significantly influence on plant growth.
