Effect of potassium humate on apple cv. ?Golden Delicious? cultured in vitro

Abstract: The effects of humic substances on in vitro culture of 'Golden Delicious' apple are reported. Potassium humate (KH) when used in proliferation showed a negative interaction with BA while it enhanced rooting when IBA was not present in the culture medium. In the presence of IBA, KH increased root number and reduced root growth. The highest concentration tested, 500 mg 1-i, caused a drastic reduction in root system development. 50 mg 1-1 KH hastened rooting and plants grew more rapidly when transferred to soil.

“…In another study, Hemida et al [45] found an improvement in the soil physiochemical characteristics and productivity of Phaseolus vulgaris with the soil application of 0.5 kg −1 potassium humate and 1.0 mM-α-tocopherol as compared to the control. Baraldi et al [46] found that the higher application of potassium 500 mg kg −1 in an in vitro medium showed a lower root length and root system of golden delicious as compared to the lower rates of potassium humate application (0, 50 and 250 mg L −1 ). The strong and positive correlations were found among the growth, yield and fiber qualities except fiber length (Table 5).…”

“…The highest proliferation rates were obtained on media supplemented with 5.0 mg l -1 metatopolin or 2.0 mg l -1 BAR, which produced 6.9 and 5.9 shoots per explant, respectively. Explants cultured on media without cytokinin tended to form only one new shoot (on average 1.6 shoots per explant) confirming that cytokinins are necessary for adequate shoot proliferation (Lane, 1978;Sriskandarajah et al, 1990;Baraldi et al, 1991).…”

“…Além disso, Baraldi et al (1991), obtiveram a maior taxa de multiplicação (4,8%) quando adicionado humato de potássio na concentração de 50 mg L -1 e 1,0 mg L -1 de 6benzilaminopurina (BAP), no cultivo in vitro de maçã 'Golden delicious'.…”
