HS influence the adaptation of plants to conditions of environmental stress by increasing the nutrient availability. They also have a direct effect on plant metabolic processes related to growth and development. The biochemical and molecular mechanisms underlying these events are only partially known. HS have been shown to contain auxin and an “auxin-like†activity of humic substances has been proposed, but support to this hypothesis is fragmentary.
