The aim of the research isto increase pomegranate cutting survival rate and the number of quality saplings in nursery production through humic and fulvic acid application during the growing period. The application of humic substances in the pomegranate nursery resulted in a significant positive effect for the quality of the sapling increasing both diameter and height. The data about yield indicates that reducing fertilizer use is balanced by the humic acid through the increase of nutrient uptake by the plant. It also showed that organic matter decomposition and the mineralization processes in the soil increases. The humic substances also tend to regulate soil pH and soil salinity and help to retain organic matter in the surface layer, meanwhile the salt content is leaching out from the surface layer accumulating in the layers below.展开更多
