Abstract
Evaluates whether adding humic acid to soil affects the growth of Panicum amarum from vegetative fragments. Overall, humic acid increased establishment and growth of this species. Although whole plants resulted in the biomass, belowground and aboveground fragments also grew. Using fragments may be desirable in some restoration projects.Suggested Citation
