description The present paper reports on the effect of complete humic acid extract and medium molecular mass fraction thereof on the growth of sunflower root sections and on the endogenous level of plant growth regulators. Humic acids in nutrient solution, as opposed to humic acids or nutrient solution alone, caused the growth rate in root sections to diminish. Higher concentrations of humic acids proved to have an even stronger inhibitory effect. Root sections treated with 285 mg/L of medium molecular mass fraction showed improved growth and higher endogenous levels of growth-promoting substances than the control. Concentrations as high as 2000 mg/L of complete humic acid extract caused an increase in the endogenous levels of inhibitors. It is suggested that humic acids affect root growth either by altering the metabolism of endogenous plant regulators or by acting as growth-regulating substances themselves.

En el presente trabajo se informa sobre el efecto de un extracto completo de ácidos húmicos y su fracción de medio peso molecular sobre el crecimiento y el nivel endógeno de reguladores del crecimiento en raíces de girasol. Los ácidos húmicos en solución nutritiva disminuyen el crecimiento de secciones radicales, a diferencia de lo observado al utilizar ácidos húmicos o solución nutritiva sola. Cuanto mayor es la concentración, mayor es el efecto inhibidor. Las secciones radicales tratadas con 285 mg/L de la fracción de medio peso molecular mostraron aumento en el crecimiento y en el contenido endógeno de sustancias promotoras del crecimiento. Concentraciones tan altas como 2000 mg/L del extracto completo causaron un aumento en los niveles endógenos de inhibidores. Estos resultados sugieren que los ácidos húmicos afectan el crecimiento radical, ya sea por alterar el metabolismo de los reguladores del crecimiento o por actuar per se como sustancias reguladoras.
