e1“The results revealed that Ca humate, B humate, and humic acid treatments applied at different rates positively affected the total marketable yield, average fruit weight, fruit diameter, fruit length, and leaf dry matter of tomato and cucumber plants”
e2“However, no statistically significant differences were observed among the treatments in terms of total soluble solids, fruit dry matter, chlorophyll, and plant length”

- Intervention effect Ca humate, B humate and humic acid treatments positively affected total marketable yield, average fruit weight and fruit diameter of tomato.
- Intervention effect Ca humate, B humate and humic acid treatments positively affected fruit length and leaf dry matter of tomato.
- Intervention effect Ca humate, B humate and humic acid treatments positively affected total marketable yield, average fruit weight and fruit diameter of cucumber.
- Intervention effect Ca humate, B humate and humic acid treatments positively affected fruit length and leaf dry matter of cucumber.
- Intervention effect The highest tomato yield (159,682 kg ha-1) was obtained from 2936 mg kg-1 Ca humate application.
- Intervention effect The highest cucumber yield (172,992 kg ha-1) was obtained from 2910 mg kg-1 Ca humate application.
- Observation Leaf Ca/fruit Ca ratio in tomato decreased from 20.55 to 2.42.
- Observation Leaf Ca/fruit Ca ratio in cucumber decreased from 10.70 to 1.37.
- Observation Leaf B/fruit B ratio in tomato decreased from 15.80 to 1.82.
- Observation Leaf B/fruit B ratio in cucumber decreased from 14.31 to 2.64.
- Intervention effect Ca and B humate applications increased macro- and micronutrient concentrations in leaves and fruits of tomato and cucumber.
- Intervention effect Ca and B humate applications positively affected translocation of Ca and B from leaf to fruit in tomato and cucumber.
- Intervention effect Ca and B humate applications upgraded soil health in the tomato and cucumber trial.
- Recommendation Ca and B humate nutrient sources should be used as an economical and simple application for tomato and cucumber plants without Ca and B deficiency.
- Intervention effect Ca humate, B humate and humic acid treatments did not significantly change plant length of tomato and cucumber.
