Abstract:

To explore the application effects of humic acid on tobacco seedling, different amounts of humic acid (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 g/plant) were added to the substrate and the growth and morphological characteristics of tobacco seedlings were studied with the method of tray seedling culture. The results showed that the tobacco seedling rate, strong seedling index, biomass, plant height, stem diameter, leaf length and width increased first and then decreased with the increase of humic acid in the substrate, and reached the maximum in the treatment of 1.0 to 1.5 g/plant. And the seedling rate and the strong seedling index reached 92.3% and 1.05, increased by 3.6 percentage points and 16.7% compared with those of the control, separately. In addition, humic acid in the substrate improved the root surface area, average diameter, root volume and the total length of roots at all levels. According to the comprehensive comparison, humic acid could effectively improve the root morphological characteristics and the overall quality of tobacco seedlings, and the optimal amount of humic acid added in the substrate is 1.0-1.5 g/plant (the total content of pure humic acid is 28.8%-34.4%).

Key words: humic acid, substrate, tobacco seedling, strong seedling index, root morphology
