What are acids?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, it is very important to understand what acids are, both humic and fulvic, since their presence in our crops\u2019 soil, is vital for its development.<\/p>\n

These are complex macro-molecular groupings in which the fundamental units are phenolic aromatic compounds, derived from the decomposition of the organic matter present in the soil; as well as nitrogenous compounds, both cyclic and aliphatic synthesized by microorganisms in the soil.<\/p>\n

The origin of Humic and Fulvic Acids can be derived from various sources, mainly from the decomposition of peat and plant remains, but the most important is derived from Leonardite (an ideal fertilizer for agricultural crops).<\/p>\n

The humus is formed by two acids: Humic and Fulvic; the main difference between the two is their behavior in acidic solutions: Humic Acids are not soluble in basic solutions and for this reason they precipitate, while Fulvic Acids remain soluble all the time.<\/p>\n
