More than 20 years of intensive R&D experience in Humic Acid and advanced own facility, has enabled
we being one of global humic acid market leaders..
How does Humic Acid Work/Benefits?
Improved water holding and nutrient
availability
Humate contain many beneficial
chemical groups such as the carboxylic (-CooH) and phenolic (-oH) groups. It is
these with their negatively charged particles which make humates very effective
in chelating with most of the plant nutrients and importantly water molecules.
This is known as "cation exchange capacity" (CEC). By improving the
CEC of a soil, Humic Acid actually increases the soils ability to hold more nutrients
and moisture for the plant to utilize, which improves the efficacy of
fertilizers.
Penetration and retention of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and trace elements (Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu, Mn, Fe, B) in the subsoil therefore occurs due to reduction in leaching. This leads to improving root mass in plants and a reduction in the incidence of transplant shock.
Deeper greens and brighter reds, longer shelf life and increased sugar levels in strawberries and sultana grapes occur.
Neutralize
Salts
Humic Acid has the ability to lower
and neutralize salt levels due to its composition. Because Humic Acid is such a
complex and active carbon molecule, it will neutralize chemicals that have been
over-applied and as a result are causing plant phytotoxicity. In simple terms
Humic Acid acts as a filter cleansing impurities which contact it.
Stabilization of the soil against strong pH charges from chemical fertilizer
applications also occurs.
Hormonal
Activity
Humic substances inhibit indoleacetic
acid (IAA) oxidase (breakdown), thereby hindering destruction of their plant
growth hormone. Which can lead to high activity of IAA and promote plant
growth. Humic Acid possesses auxin like activity which stimulates root
initiation.
Biochemical
and physiological process
Humic substances influence several metabolic processes, such as photosynthesis,
respiration, nucleic acid influences, ion uptake and the production of RNA
(Ribonucleic Acid) which is essential for many biochemical processes in the
cell. Humic Acids enhancement of chlorophyll content via foliar sprays can
prevent chlorosis by increasing the uptake of Mg++ and Fe++ ions.
Antioxidant
Activity
Environmental stress damage to plant cells is correlated with the increase of
reactive oxygen species or free radicals such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide
and hydroxyl radical within the plant. Humic Acid applied as a foliar enhances
the presence of various antioxidants in leaves.
Photosynthesis
Turfgrass research has shown that Humic Acid foliar applied can boost
photosynthesis, improve growth and development especially when applied before
stresses increase. The tolerance of abiotic and biotic stresses including
disease infection is increased. Thus leading to reduced fungicide requirement.
Making Humic Acid a valuable component of IPM.
