Abstract: In order to study the effect of foliar spraying humic acid water soluble fertilizer on the growth of loquat[Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl.] seedlings, the effects of humic acid water soluble fertilizer with different dilution ratios (700, 1 000, 1 300 and 1 600 times) on the biomass, taking spraying equal amount of water as contrast(CK), photosynthetic pigment content and antioxidant enzyme activity of Dawuxing loquat seedlings were determined. The results showed that foliar application of different concentrations of humic acid water soluble fertilizer increased the biomass and photosynthetic pigment content of the stem and leaf of loquat seedlings, and the effect was the best at 1 000 times. The activities of peroxidase(POD) and catalase(CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) of loquat seedlings were increased by 1 000 and 1 300 times of humic acid water soluble fertilizer. The stem and leaf biomass of loquat seedlings were positively correlated with chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoid content, POD activity, SOD activity and CAT activity. Therefore, foliar spraying humic acid water soluble fertilizer could promote the growth of loquat seedlings, and the best was 1 000 times.

Key words: humic acid water soluble fertilizer, loquat[Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl.] seedlings, growth, photosynthetic physiology, antioxidant physiology
