Why is "Humic Acid" in Fertilizer Good

What exactly is humic acid? What is humic acid used for? Let's take a look below.

Humic acid is a natural mixture of organic macromolecular compounds. It is widely found in nature, and the proportion of humic acid in soil is the largest. The concept of humic acid in a broad sense is: plant and animal remains, mainly plant remains, are decomposed and transformed by microorganisms, and a series of geochemical processes cause and accumulate a class of organic substances. This is the basic definition of humic acid.

Soil organic matter is generally above humic acid, and in the corrosive matter humic acid is the main body and its salts combined with metal ions, and humic acid is the most active and effective part of the organic matter.
The most direct role of humic acid: to promote plant growth and improve crop yield.
For soil: improve soil structure , adjust soil PH value to increase soil buffering capacity .
Biological role: stimulate crop growth and development, the use of humic acid can enhance the activity of a variety of crop enzymes, improve the ability of crops to absorb water and nutrients, enhance crop metabolism, accelerate growth and development, early maturity and improve quality.
In addition, from the perspective of agricultural applications, humic acid also has strong drought resistance, disease resistance, low temperature resistance and salinity resistance.

Finally, we need to emphasize the relationship between soil organic matter and humic acid: it is organic matter not necessarily humic acid, but humic acid must be the best organic matter.
Humic acid combined with chemical fertilizer has naturally superior conditions to both nourish the soil and cultivate good fertilizer, and is good with crops and the environment. In this sense, let the safe organic matter, especially the industrial extracted humic acid organic matter optimize the chemical fertilizer, improve the soil fertility and guarantee the safe production of agricultural products has a positive role and practical significance.
As you can see, humic acid is this good contribution to both soil and crops, and if the fertilizer does add humic acid effect should be good.
