In order to investigate the effect of humic acid foliar application on some morphological and phytochemical characteristics of Physalis peruviana L., a factorial experiment was carried out under complete randomized design with three replications at the research greenhouse of Nahavand Higher Education Complex in 2021. Experimental treatments included humic acid foliar application (0, 300, 600 mg.L-1) and harvesting stages (green fruit and red fruit). The results showed that the highest amount of fresh and dry weight of leaves created in the treatment of 600 mg.L-1 humic acid and first stage of harvesting (green fruit). The highest amount of fruit fresh weight was obtained in the treatment of 600 mg.L-1 of humic acid and in the second stage of harvesting (red fruit). Also, the highest amount of fruit dry weight and the number of leaves was obtained with the application of the highest amount of humic acid (600 mg.L-1) in the second stage of harvesting, which had not statistically significant different with the treatment of 300 mg.L-1 of humic acid. The highest amount of leaf scopolamine was obtained in the treatments of 600 mg.L-1 of humic acid and the first stage of harvesting, as well as the treatments of 300 and 600 mg.L-1 of humic acid and the second stage of harvesting. The highest amount of fruit scopolamine was obtained in the treatment of 600 mg.L-1 of humic acid and the first and second stages of harvesting. The highest amount of atropine was created in the leaf with the application of 600 mg.L-1 of humic acid and in the fruit with the application of 300 mg.L-1 of humic acid. In order to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, prevent environmental pollution and achieve sustainable agricultural goals, it is suggested to use humic acid as an alternative to chemical fertilizers in field studies.
