Humic acids are the end product of the microbial degradation and petrification of plant and animal debris and are one of the most important constituents of fertile soils. Humic acid derivatives are mixtures of humic acid, and fulvic acid. Humic acids are mined for agricultural use from both land and sea. The end product contains a majority of organic material (concentrated humic acid) mixed with smaller amounts of mineral matter.
 

Humic acid has the serious attention of farmers, universities, research agronomists, consultants, and fertilizer companies. The USDA and over 20 major universities are conducting research on it's beneficial properties and humic acid is considered to be a monumental discovery in a plant's nutrition.

Field trials in the U.S. and Europe confirm the benefits of humic acid, showing conclusively that it can promote plant growth substantially. Farms that have already reached optimum fertilization practices see significant improvement in nutrient uptake, plant growth, and yield by incorporating humic acid into their fertilizer program. Humic acid isn't a cure all, but it's benefits are astounding!

Humic acid combined with urea, for example, can double nitrogen life and efficiency. When combined with herbicides it can detoxify residues and improve kill rates. Plant uptake is improved for most additives whenever humic acid is included in the mix.

One accepted use for humic acid is in pre-plant or starter phosphorus bands, as it greatly improves phosphate availability even in high lime soils. Plants have a hard time taking up phosphates in high pH soils and the abundance of calcium in these soils leads to the formation of calcium phosphates that become almost as insoluble as teeth. Phosphorus tie-up is especially critical for annual crops that are planted in the Spring when soils are cool. Humic acid chelates soluble calcium and protects the phosphates from the calcium / phosphate interaction. The amine functional groups of humic acid can then absorb the phosphate anions, improving availability for plant uptake.

HumaTec is a concentrated liquid product of the highest quality that is a mixture of humic acids, cultured soil bacterias and trace minerals. One gallon is equivalent to 500 pounds of dry humic acid.  HumaTec is rich in the organic and mineral substances essential to plant growth and helps retain soluble fertilizers in the root zone for release as needed. It's very easy to work with too. Homogenized and screened thru a #100 mesh means no plugging of nozzles.
