Vermicompost treatment differentially affects seed germination, seedling growth and physiological status of vegetable crop species (2011, background): “plants as well as lead to general stimulation of growth and yield of various crops (Atiyeh et al. 2002; Arancon et al. 2006).”
Use and understanding of organic amendments in Australian agriculture: a review (2011, background): “Research has identified humic substances (Brownell et al. 1987; Canellas et al. 2002; Arancon et al. 2006), seaweed extract (Stirk and van Staden 1996), and biological inoculants (Roesti et al. 2006) as OA capable of eliciting hormonal growth responses in crops such as cotton (Gossypium sp.),…”
The Use of Biostimulants for Enhancing Nutrient Uptake (2015, background): “HS have a number of positive effects on plant growth, including increased biomass (Ayuso et al., 1996; Lee and Bartlett, 1976), increased number of fruits and flowers (Arancon et al., 2006), and improved fruit quality (Yildirim, 2007).”
Rhizosphere humic acid interacts with root cell walls to reduce hydraulic conductivity and plant development (2010, background): “Mechanisms by which humic acid affects plant growth Humic acid is best known for its ability to stimulate plant growth (e.g. Chen and Aviad 1990; Nardi et al. 2002; Canellas et al. 2002; Arancon et al. 2003, 2006; Dobbss et al. 2007).”
