| Summary: | The global landscape is marked by climatic, socioeconomic, and demographic complexities, and enhancing food production through byproducts has emerged as a powerful strategy to address these challenges. This review aimed to analyze the potential impacts of VIUSID<sup>®</sup> agro, an amino acid–based growth promoter, on plant growth, productivity, and tolerance to salt stress. A quantitative systematic review was conducted utilizing databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The research papers highlighted the positive effects of VIUSID<sup>®</sup> agro on growth and production, as well as on physiological and biochemical indices related to salt stress across various crops. Furthermore, this biostimulant can be administered in different doses and through various application methods. The review also examined its effects during the ex vitro acclimatization phase and in tissue culture. The results demonstrated enhanced crop growth, increased biomass accumulation, modulation of photosynthesis, improved enzymatic antioxidant defenses, and maintenance of ionic homeostasis, all contributing to superior crop performance. These findings suggest that VIUSID<sup>®</sup> agro is beneficial for a wide range of crops, with its effectiveness primarily attributed to its rich amino acid composition, which influences and modulates various physiological and biochemical processes within plant cells. |
