K-humates, obtained from oxihumolites, alleviate infection of tobacco with tobacco mosaic virus both in mixture with virus inoculum and by spraying of leaves before inoculation. However, applications of K-humates after inoculation did not influence the virus infectivity.

Keywords: Nicotiana tabacum; tobacco mosaic virus
