| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the advantages of humic substances, due to its increase in grass photosynthesis, root enzyme activity and root mass. Reports that "application of humic acid materials at 400 parts per million in hydroponic culture significantly increased root mass compared with untreated turf on almost every sampling date in greenhouse studies," it also increased photyosynthesis if applied at the same rate. Suggests that "given the very low application rates required, one might consider humic substances cost-effective because they might improve rooting during the summer months." |
