HUMIC ACID FOR AGRICULTURE

Humic acids are an excellent natural and organic way to provide plants and soil with a concentrated dose of essential nutrients, vitamins and trace elements. Compared to other organic products, Humic Acids enhances plant growth (biomass production) and fertility of the soil. Another advantage of Humic Acids is its long-term effectiveness, as it does not get consumed as quickly as animal manure, compost or peat. Humic Acids decomposes completely, therefore it does not enter into nutritional competition with plants for nutrients like nitrogen. This is not the case with partially decomposed compost, whereby the organic substances in soil are rapidly consumed by microorganisms and mineralized entirely without humus formation.

Humic acids physically modify the structure of the soil, with benefits such as:

Improved structure of soil: Prevents high water and nutrient losses in light, sandy soils, simultaneously converting them into fruitful soils by way of decomposition. In heavy and compact soils, aeration of soil and water retention is improved; cultivation measures are facilitated.

Prevents soil cracking, surface water runoff and soil erosion by increasing the ability of colloids to combine.

Helps the soil loosen and crumble, and thus increases aeration of soil as well as soil workability.

Increases water holding capacity of soil and thus helps resist drought.

Darkens the color of the soil and thus helps absorption of the sun’s energy.
