of humic acid applications and incidents of root rot diseases of tomato
in greenhouse soils contaminated with soil-borne pathogens. For this purpose,
commercially available powder preparations containing 80% humic acid and
fulvic acid were used in the experiment. After the application of three
different doses (80, 160, 240 mg active ingredient, a.i., plant-1),
with five replications, healthy and diseased plants were counted and root
weights were recorded to determine the disease development followed by
fruit maturity. The disease percentage of the control group was found
as 30.4 while those of the treated groups were 29.6, 30.8 and 34.4 with
respect to doses of 80, 160 and 240 mg a.i. plant-1, respectively.
Average root fresh weight in the control group was found 110 g plant-1
while those of the treated groups were found as 135, 156, 215 g plant-1,
respectively. The results clearly showed that the application of humic
acid caused an increment in root fresh weight while making plants to susceptible
to the root rot pathogens.]]>Adani, F., P. Genevini, P. Zaccheo and G. Zocchi,199821561575Boyle, M., W.T. Jr. Frakenburger and L.H. Stolyz,19892290299Canellas, L.P., F.L. Olivares, A.L.
