Abstract: Hydroponic experiment were done to investigate the effects of humic acid on growth and physiological characteristics of crops at seedling stage, and the tested material is Cao221167.[Method]The experiment set up different concentrations of humic acid(0;1‰;2‰;3‰;4‰;5‰) to study the effects on the biomass, plant height, root characteristics, chlorophyll content, MDA content and antioxidant enzyme activity of rapeseed seedlings.[Result] The results showed: when the humic acid concentration was 1‰,the biomass of rape seedling was significantly affected(The dry weight and fresh weight of the shoots increased by 18% and 12.20% respectively, and the dry weight and fresh weight of the underground increased by 41.67% and 54.70% respectively). Added humic acid could significantly improve the root activity of rapeseed seedlings; when the concentration was 1 ‰,it can significantly promoted the root growth(root length, total root length and root surface area increased by 20.36%, 70.49% and 30.43% respectively compared with the control). In the range of 1 ‰ ~ 5 ‰, with the increased of humic acid concentration, the activity of antioxidant enzymes in rape cells decreased first and then increased, and the chlorophyll content increased first and then decreased. [Conclusion]So, a certain concentration of humic acid can promote the growth of rape,and 1 ‰ and 2 ‰ concentration of humic acid is the appropriate concentration of rape growth, and when the concentration is 3 ‰ ~ 5 ‰, it inhibits the growth of rape.
