SUMMARY:

The increasing national demand for therapeutic products derived from Cannabis sativa L. has driven the development of sustainable and efficient agronomic techniques for its cultivation. Vegetative propagation through cuttings is an essential method to ensure genetic uniformity and optimize the quality of plants for medicinal purposes. This study examines the application of humic acids as biostimulants in the rooting process of Cannabis sativa cuttings, a crucial phase for successful propagation. Humic acids, complex organic molecules derived from the decomposition of organic matter, are widely recognized for their ability to enhance soil structure, stimulate rhizogenesis, and increase nutrient bioavailability. The randomized experimental design with controlled environmental parameters in a Fitotron chamber aim to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of humic acids (0%, 1%, 2%, 4%) on rooting efficiency, root biomass, and plant vigor. Preliminary results demonstrate that humic acid treatments significantly promote root system development, increase cutting survival rates, and improve the robustness of propagated plants compared to untreated controls. These findings highlight the potential of humic acids as a sustainable alternative to synthetic rooting agents, reducing environmental risks while optimizing productive outcomes. Additionally, the study may suggest broader implications for the application of humic acids in agricultural practices, supporting economically and environmentally conscious strategies for propagating medicinal plants. The results shall contribute to advancing scientific knowledge on Cannabis sativa agronomy and provide a foundation for future research aimed at refining protocols for the large-scale industrial production of high-quality medicinal plants.
