Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Combining humic acid with phosphate fertilizer (PHA) lowered the atomic ratios of O/C and (O + N)/N relative to humic acid (HA).
- Intervention effect Combining humic acid with phosphate fertilizer raised the relative content of carboxyl groups relative to humic acid, as suggested by FTIR and NMR.
- Intervention effect Combining humic acid with phosphate fertilizer lowered the relative amount of C-C relative to humic acid.
- Intervention effect Combining humic acid with phosphate fertilizer raised the relative amount of C-H relative to humic acid, the opposite of C-C.
- Intervention effect Combining humic acid with phosphate fertilizer yielded more low molecular weight components than humic acid, by gel permeation chromatography.
- Intervention effect PHA showed a worse effect than HA in promoting growth of maize seedlings.
- Mechanism The worse effect of PHA on maize seedlings might be due to its poor hydrophilicity and unsuitable addition amount.
