Ornament & Flowers
Humic substances affect various metabolic processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, nucleic acid synthesis and ion uptake.
Humic Acid
It affects the production of RNA, which is necessary for many biochemical processes in the cell. Humic acid also stimulates the activities of some enzymes.
Foliar Application
Foliar application of humic acid solution stimulated the photosynthetic capacity of creeping bentgrass, especially in summer when photosynthetic activity decreases due to environmental stress.
Antioxidant Activity
Studies have shown that foliar application of humic acid on turf significantly increases the presence of various antioxidants in the leaves.
Photosynthesis
Their research shows that materials with hormonal activity, such as humic substances, promote the production of antioxidants and increase photosynthetic activity, resulting in greater tolerance of grasses to abiotic and biotic stresses, including infection.
Therefore, the use of humic substances that reduce the impact of environmental stresses may be a valuable component of an integrated pest management strategy in turfgrass culture.
