Effect of vermitea on morphological parameters of wheat seedlings

Abstract

It was shown that low concentrations of vermitea stimulated the development of wheat seedlings under water culture conditions. Both shoot length and root length were statistically significantly longer in the vermitea nutrient solution than in the control (Hewitt’s solution). A very strong positive correlation (r=0.99) was found between the content of humic acids in hydroponic solutions and the length of roots formed by wheat seedlings.
