Abstract:

Salinity is one of the most brutal environmental stresses limiting the productivity of agricultural crops. In order to determine the effect of humic acid on some morphological and physiological characteristics and uptake of elements by strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch. cv. Sabrina) under salinity stress, a greenhouse factorial experiment was conducted with three factors including two treatment methods of humic acid application (spray and drench), three humic acid levels (0, 300 and 600 mg/L) and three salinity levels (0, 20 and 40 mM NaCl) in a completely randomized design with four replications. Results revealed that in the salinity level of 40 mM, the dry weights of shoot and root were reduced by 36.65 and 26.85 percents compared to control. With increasing the salinity level, the Na+ concentration increased and the K+, Ca2+ and Mg2+ concentrations in leaves and roots decreased. In the presence of 40 mM NaCl in external media, application of 600 mg/L humic acid increased root Ca2+ concentration by 65 %. However, application of humic acid mitigated the Na+ concentration in leaves and roots and improved the Fe2+ and Zn2+ concentrations. According to the results of this study, application of humic acid (especially at 600 mg/L) ameliorated the deleterious effects of salt stress in strawberry cv. Sabrina

Effects of humic acid on changes in nutrient concentrations of leaf, root and stem nutrients of Satureja khuzestanica under salinity stress

To investigate the influence of humic acid on the amount of absorption and allocation of elements to different parts of Satureja khuzestanica under salinity stress conditions, a greenhouse experiment was done as factorial based on a randomized complete block design in four replications. Factors included humic acid (zero, 10, 20, 30 and 40 mg kg-1 soil), and salinity stress (zero, 25, 50, 75 and...

The Effects of Humic Acid and Calcium on Morpho-Physiological Traits and Mineral Nutrient Uptake of Pistachio Seedling under Salinity Stress

The study was carried out to evaluate the effects of soil application of humic acid and calciumon morpho-physiological traits and Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+ uptake of Pistachio seedling (Akbari) grown under salt stress.  A completely randomized design was used with four replications in greenhouse conditions. The experimental treatment consisted of four levels of humic acid (Bis humic) (0, 4, 8 and 12 gr k...
