Alleviative Effect of Exogenous Application of Fulvic Acid on Nitrate Stress in Spinach (<i>Spinacia oleracea</i> L.) by Kangning Han, Jing Zhang, Cheng Wang, Youlin Chang, Zeyu Zhang, Jianming Xie

“…The F3 treatment (0.15% FA + 150 mM NO₃⁻) exhibited the most significant mitigating effect. FA application promoted the accumulation of biomass in spinach under nitrate stress and increased chlorophyll content, the net photosynthetic rate, the maximum photochemical quantum yield of PSII (Photosystem II) (Fv/Fm), the quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry [Y(II)], the electron transport rate, and the overall functional activity index of the electron transport chain between the PSII and PSI systems (PItotal); moreover, FA decreased PSII excitation pressure (1 − qP), quantum yields of regulated energy dissipation of PSII [Y(NPQ)], and the relative variable initial slope of fluorescence. …”
