Humic acids derived from soil and applied as soil application, seed or seedling treatment and foliar application, these are important component of soil found to be beneficial for most of the vegetable crops. Various kinds of characteristics like growth, development, yield and quality of vegetable crops has been improved after application of humic acid. Vegetable crops give positive response after application of humic acid in abiotic stress management and production of secondary metabolites.
