Investigation Effect of Humic Acid on Germination, Seedling growth and photosynthesis pigments of Medicinal Plant Isabgol (Plantago ovata Forssk)

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of humic acid on germination indexes and photosynthesis pigments of medicinal plant Plantago ovata Forssk in a completely randomized design. Experimental treatments comprised the following dosage 0, 15, 30 g Li-1. Results relived that humic acid had significantly effect on germination rate and seed vigor index. The highest and the lowest germination rate, the highest and the lowest seed vigor index were measured in dose of 30 gLi-1 and the control treatment respectively, while humic acid was not effective on germination percentage and mean of germination time. Humic acid showed significant effect on radical length and dry weight (p
