“…The studies on the role of specific humus in the growth and development of plants have received considerable studied. It has been reported that these substances extracted from soil, organic mature, peat, and even coal, exert favorable influence on the growth, nutrient uptake and health of plants (Burroni et al, 1994;Adani et al, 1995;Lulakis and Petsas, 1995;Valdighi et al, 1995). Although there is no agreement as yet with regard to the mechanisms of action of humus substances on plants.…”

Plants grown from seed coated with sodium humate and inoculated by certain biofertilizers bacteria, were investigated under greenhouse conditions. The nodulation status, nitrogen uptake and yield component of bean Phaseolus vulgaris , inoculated by specific rhizobia increased by application with sodium humate. The application of sodium humate alone without rhizobial inoculation had good growth stimulating effect. A fair increase in the yield and phosphorus uptake of wheat Triticum aestivum inoculated with Azotobacter and/or Bacillus spp. was also recorded with the addition of the humic material. The greatest effect was observed on the plants inoculated with Azotobacter and Bacillus spp. together.
