humic substances as an active part of soil organic maters can improve germination and seedling properties, plant establishment and plant growth. in order to study the effects of different concentrations of humic and fulvic acids on germination and seedling properties of two varieties of triticale (triticosecale hexaploide lart.), a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design wi...

Increasingly stringent regulations for drinking water quality have stimulated the ultrafiltration (UF) to become one of the best alternatives replacing conventional drinking water treatment technologies. However, UF is not very effectively to remove humic acid due to the comparatively larger pore size compared to the size of humic acid. Fouling issue is another factor that restricts its widespr...

Role of humic acids (HA) in plant tissue culture as plant growth regulators has been reviewed. Humic acid is a principal component of humic substances, which are the most important organic constituents of the soil (humus). Humus is defined as the organic matter in soil, a mixture of partially and totally humified substances. Leonardite is the best source for humic acid and it is extracted by us...

Humic substances (HS) reportedly enhance moisture retention of soil. However, no information is available as to the effects of HS on sand-based golf course putting greens. HS have acidic functional groups (COOH) that are reaction sites on the molecule. An greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect that the acidic functional groups in humic acid, tannic acid and citric acid have ...

in order to investigate the effects of humic acid on three tomato varieties, a field experiment was conducted as a split-plot design experiment based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 3 replications in ahmad abad part in khorasan razavi, during 2009-2010 .two factorial combinations were four levels of humic acid (0, 1, 1.5, and 2 kg.ha-1) and three tomato varieties (super ch, este...

the study was conducted to investigate the effect of humic acid on the germination properties of medicinal plants borago officinalis and cichorium intybus in a completely randomized design with five replications. experimental treatment comprised the following dosages 0, 15, and 30 g l-1. the results revealed that effect of humic acid on the germination properties of c. intybus was significant (p

Humic acids are amphiphilic species whose behavior in aqueous solution suggests that they form pseudomicellesÐaggregates akin to the micelles familiar from synthetic surfactant chemistry. It is thought that humic pseudomicelles can be formed by both intramolecular coiling and intermolecular association, depending on the molecular weight, structural characteristics, and polydispersity of the hum...

In order to evaluation effect of different level of humic acid affected drought stress on seed yield, its components and morphological traits of corn a research farm was conducted according split plot experiment based randomized complete blocks design at three replication during 2015 year. Main factor included four irrigation regimes (90mm, 110 mm, 130 mm and 150mm evaporation from pan class A)...
