“…Particularly, leonardite, originating from the atmospheric oxidation of lignite, is very rich in humic acids (David et al, 2014). Leonardite application has been shown to improve nutrient uptake, such as Fe, N, and K, and increase plant yield and quality (Ece et al, 2007;Fascella et al, 2015;Cieschi et al, 2017). Therefore, leonardite is generally used in agriculture as a soil conditioner, increasing the permeability of the stem cell membrane, nutrition rate, fruit quality, and crop yield (Ratanaprommanee et al, 2017).…”
