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

Abstract

During the 5th and 6th semester (3rd year) of this research, a series of experiments was performed in order to evaluate the effects of three humic acids (HAs, respectively GC- HA, MC-HA and GCC-HA) isolated from the three selected composts under study, a green compost (GC), a mixed compost (MC) and green coffee compost (GCC), on the germination of two switchgrass species, Shawnee and Alamo, and the effects of substrates obtained by mixing with a peat sample (P) the three composts at three different percentages (respectively, C/P 5%, C/P 10% and C/P20%) on the early growth of these switchgrass species.
