Abstract
Humic acid and vermiwash play a vital role in the improved growth and high yield without compromising quality if supplemented with the nutrients. They are of organic origin thus ensuring sustainability and rich in essential nutrients ensuring proper nutrition availability. The incorporation of humic acid and vermiwash is done by two ways viz. foliar application and soil amendment. The effect of these bio stimulants is researched in various crops in different ways of incorporation at different doses. This review focuses on the research done on the usage of these bio stimulants and evaluates the result of various studies for future reference and research.
Keywords: Humic acid, vermiwash, bio-stimulants, sustainability.
