Effects of varying lanthanum (La) or aluminium (Al) concentrations (0-30 [micro]M) on corn (Zea mays L.) root elongation were examined in the presence and absence of (i) humic acid (HA) at 35 mg carbon (C)/L, or (ii) fulvic acid (FA) at 15 mg C/L, using dilute nutrient solutions. The organic acids were extracted from a mixture of decomposed grass (Sorghum halepense) and lucerne (Medicago sativa) hay. In the absence of added HA or FA, the addition of La at [is greater than or equal to] 5 [mi...
