Dependence of the Biological Activity of Brown Coal Humic Acids on the Concentrations of Macro and Trace Elements

Abstract

Abstract: The samples of humic preparations (HPs) containing macro and trace elements for plant nutrition were obtained based on humic acids isolated from brown coal of the Tisul deposit in the Kansk-Achinsk Coal Basin. The biological activity of the humic preparations was tested under laboratory and field conditions with the use of Iren and Novosibirskaya 89 varietal wheat seeds. A comparative assessment of the effects of the concentrations of various elements in the HPs on the growth parameters and productivity of cereals was carried out. The edaphic properties of soil substrates should be taken into account for a more effective use of humic preparations.
