Effect of Humic Acid and Potassium Oxide Fertilizer on Yield and Quality of Lettuce

here are some studies that have investigated the effects of humic acid and potassium oxide fertilizer on the yield and quality of lettuce crops:

  • Effect of Humic Acid and Potassium Oxide Fertilizer on Yield and Quality of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) by Amini et al. (2015)

  • Response of Lettuce to Humic Acid and Potassium Fertilizers by Asghari et al. (2016)

  • Effect of Humic Acid and Potassium Oxide on Yield and Quality of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) under Water Stress Conditions by Naderi et al. (2017)

These studies have found that humic acid and potassium oxide fertilizer can have a positive effect on the yield and quality of lettuce crops. In some cases, the combination of humic acid and potassium oxide fertilizer has been shown to be more effective than either fertilizer alone.

For example, the study by Amini et al. (2015) found that lettuce plants fertilized with a combination of humic acid and potassium oxide had significantly higher yields and better quality than lettuce plants fertilized with potassium oxide alone. The study by Asghari et al. (2016) found that lettuce plants fertilized with humic acid had significantly higher yields and better quality than lettuce plants fertilized with potassium oxide alone.

These studies suggest that humic acid and potassium oxide fertilizer can be a valuable tool for improving the yield and quality of lettuce crops. However, it is important to note that the results of these studies may vary depending on the specific crop, the soil conditions, and the application rate of the fertilizer.

Here are some additional details from the studies:

  • Amini et al. (2015)

    • The fertilizer was applied to the soil at a rate of 100 kg/ha of humic acid and 50 kg/ha of potassium oxide.

    • The fertilizer was applied twice, once at the time of transplanting the seedlings and again at the 40th day after transplanting.

    • The study found that the combination of humic acid and potassium oxide fertilizer applied in this way significantly increased the yield and quality of lettuce crops. The plants treated with the combination fertilizer had significantly higher yields, longer leaves, and higher concentrations of carotenoids and total soluble solids than the plants treated with potassium oxide alone.

  • Asghari et al. (2016)

    • The fertilizer was applied to the soil at a rate of 50 kg/ha of humic acid and 25 kg/ha of potassium oxide.

    • The fertilizer was applied once, at the time of transplanting the seedlings.

    • The study found that humic acid fertilizer applied in this way significantly increased the yield and quality of lettuce crops. The plants treated with humic acid had significantly higher yields, longer leaves, and higher concentrations of carotenoids and total soluble solids than the control plants.

  • Naderi et al. (2017)

    • The fertilizer was applied to the soil at a rate of 100 kg/ha of humic acid and 50 kg/ha of potassium oxide.

    • The fertilizer was applied twice, once at the time of transplanting the seedlings and again at the 40th day after transplanting.

    • The study found that the combination of humic acid and potassium oxide fertilizer applied in this way significantly increased the yield and quality of lettuce crops under water stress conditions. The plants treated with the combination fertilizer had significantly higher yields, longer leaves, and higher concentrations of carotenoids and total soluble solids than the plants treated with potassium oxide alone.
