What is Humic Acid?
Humic Acids are not fertilizers, they may be added to complement any fertilizer prescription. While fertilizers are analyzed with respect to their content of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potash or Potassium (N-P-K). Humic Acids are measured on the basis of their humus content.
How Humic Acid work naturally
Humic acids are complex molecules that exist naturally in soils, peats, oceans, and freshwaters. The one source of humic acids is the sedimentation layers referred to as Leonardite. These layers were originally deep in the earth’s crust, but over many years have been exhumed to near-surface location.
The Role of Humic Acid in Plant Growth
For crops, humic acids are chelators. They combine minerals to make them into organic compounds that can be ingested by plants more easily. They also enable the soil to hold more water and can increase the water infiltration of the soil. Additionally, humic acids restrict toxins present in the soil, reducing the number of harmful substances that reach the crop’s roots.
Humates come from a variety of sources, such as shale, coal, and mudstone. Different sources and processing procedures yield widely varied humate fertilizer products.
Our Product Humicon
Humicon-12% is a liquid organic plant tonic based on humic acids; highly active organic compounds extracted from natural fossils. These colloidal formulations maximize the availability of nutrients whether applied directly to the crop or already present in the soil. Humicon-12 increases the activity of growth-promoting factors. It is also beneficial as a seed treatment and on seedling root systems prior to transplantation. Applied as a foliar treatment, it enhances the translocation of nutrients throughout the plant by increasing cell wall permeability. Applied as a seed dressing, Humicon improves germination rates.
Some of the chief benefits of the product are as follows:
- It accelerates germination
- It immense seeding
- It promotes vigor and root growth
- It Improves uptakes and translocation of micro and macronutrients
- It influences the enzyme system
- It maintains the PH of the soil
- It helps plants to resist drought
- It increases the quantity and quality of yield
