Defining the Molecular Impacts of Humalite Application on Field-Grown Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Using Quantitative Proteomics.

ABSTRACT: Increasing global food production demands have resulted in increased fertilizer usage, causing detrimental environmental impacts. Biostimulants, such as humic substances, are currently being applied as a strategy to increase plant nutrient-use efficiency and minimize environmental impacts within cropping systems. One of these biostimulants is Humalite, which is a unique, naturally occurring coal-like substance found in deposits across southern Alberta. These deposits contain exceptionally high ratios of humic acids (>70%) and micronutrients due to their unique freshwater depositional environment. Humalite has begun to be applied to fields based on scientific data suggesting positive impacts on crop growth, yield, and nutrient usage; however, little is known about the underlying molecular m
