Abstract

The present research focuses on an important knowledge deficit concerning the foliar reaction of Jamun cv. Goma Priyanka to the application of humic acid (HA) and potassium silicate (KS), emphasizing its growth and physiological functions. Humic acid promotes the production and equilibrium of phytohormones such as auxins and cytokinins, facilitating cell division, elongation, and differentiation, which in turn enhances plant development. The present investigation was carried out at the Fruit Instructional Farm of College of Horticulture and Forestry, Jhalawar, the study underscores the effectiveness of the T15 treatment, which combines potassium silicate and HA at elevated doses, in enhancing leaf relative humidity, chlorophyll content, stress tolerance, and overall plant vitality.

Keywords: Plant growth, humic acid, growth-promoting hormones, jamun tree
