Effects of Quality Composts and Other Organic Amendments and Their Humic and Fulvic Acid Fractions on the Germination and Early Growth of Slickspot Peppergrass (Lepidium Papilliferum) and Switchgrass in Various Experimental Conditions

Abstract

Scientific work done during this reporting period consisted of: 1. preliminary experiments aiming to improve the germination of slickspot peppergrass (Lepidium papilliferum) seeds; 2. Germination and early-growth experiments of slickspot peppergrass seeds; and 3. Relationship between germination and early-growth data obtained and some compositional, structural, and functional characteristics of Humic acid-like (HAL) fractions.
