The attention of coking specialists has been attracted to the possibility of using humic fertilizers and growth stimulators for various plants in agricultural practice. Previously, investigations were conducted showing the feasibility of using brown and oxidized hard coal for production of humic fertilizers and plant growth stimulators. Humic acids, as phenolcarboxylic acids with various functional groups and containing delocalized electrons, exert various effects on plants. It is shown that the positive effect of humic acids on the development of plants is exerted most effectively against a background of addition of mineral fertilizers containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It has also been suggested that the effect of complex organomineral humic fertilizers - coal-ammonium, humophos and others - be studied.
