Soil-borne diseases are common problems in protected agriculture, continuous cropping systems, and intensive crop production. Diseases such as root rot....

Humic acid exerts no unidirectional effect on crop C/N ratio. Instead, it modulates carbon-nitrogen metabolism via multiple synergistic pathways, balancing metabolic processes, lowering the C/N ratio within crop tissues and improving nutrient-use efficiency.

Hollow‑fruit disorder occurs frequently in greenhouse tomato production and causes poor fruit quality and yield losses. Multiple contributing factors are summarised below

Global humic acid mineral resources are concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere. China is the world's largest producer, with raw materials mainly concentrated in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, and Shanxi. Using weathered coal and lignite as raw materials, China accounts for more than 65% of global output.

Tree nutritional imbalance and secondary‑micronutrient deficiency produce tender tissues with weak cell walls, rendering fruit trees vulnerable to infection by canker, anthracnose, and wood-rot pathogens. Copper is an indispensable essential micronutrient for fruit trees and fulfils critical functions in tree physiological defence. Supplementing bio-available copper physiologically reinforces the tree’s native defence system.

As a core fraction of soil organic matter, humic acid acts as the main carbon source within soil systems. Beneficial microorganisms serve as key indicators for soil ecological balance. Both are indispensable for soil health. What interactions exist between them?

Durian is an important tropical economic crop in Malaysia. Premium varieties such as Musang King and Black Thorn are highly recognized in the international market. As the industry develops toward large-scale and high-quality production, cultivation management is gradually shifting from simply pursuing yield to comprehensive management of tree vigor, soil health, fruit set, and fruit quality.

Industrial production of amino acids primarily follows two routes: chemical hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis. Chemical hydrolysis is mature and low-cost, but high temperatures and strong acids or bases can degrade nutrients and generate by-products. In contrast, enzymatic hydrolysis offers mild, controllable conditions and superior product quality, making it the preferred technology for premium bio-stimulants.

In many cases, faster crop growth does not simply result from applying more fertilizer. From root development and shoot growth to flowering and fruit expansion, plants continuously rely on endogenous hormones to regulate the growth and development of different organs. When soil conditions deteriorate, root activity declines, or nutrient supply becomes imbalanced, the plant’s endogenous hormone balance may also be affected, resulting in weak roots, uneven growth, and reduced stress tolerance.
