HUMIC ACID

Humic substances are end products of microbial decomposition and chemical degradation of dead biota in soils. Considered to be the most abundant naturally occurring organic molecules on earth and the major components of soil organic matter, they are considered plant biostimulants.

Humic Acid is the potassium salt of humic acid also known as potassium humate. It has all the characteristics of humic acids, with the additional benefits of solubility without precipitation or solid separation after dilutions are made.

It has a minimum of 70% humate matter, including fulvic acids which remain in the solution as long as necessary. In soil, humic substances play key roles in many soil and sand plants such as controlling nutrient availability, carbon and oxygen exchange between the soil and the atmosphere, as well as transforming and transporting toxic chemicals.

In addition to increasing overall root growth at early stages of plant development, humic acids have also been found to increase crop yield and/or quality in some studies involving full-season plant growth in greenhouses and fields.
