- Intervention effect Humic acid at 3.0 mL with NPK gave higher sprouting, plant height, and leaf number than all other treatments.
- Intervention effect Humic acid at 3.0 mL with NPK gave higher stem length, flower characteristics, and vase life than all other treatments.
- Intervention effect Humic acid at 3.0 mL with NPK gave higher cormel number, diameter, and weight than all other treatments.
- Intervention effect NPK-only plants had relatively less growth and poorer floral and bulb indices than other treatments.
- Mechanism The authors concluded that humic acid application can increase vase life through higher growth indices.
