Benefits and Suggestions about Humic Acid

Humic acid (HA) fertilizer is a kind of organic fertilizer. Natural humic acid is formed from the decomposition of plant residues. It is widely found in soil, river mud and shallowly buried weathered coal, peat and lignite. Containing elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, etc., there are certain fertilizers, but most of them are insoluble in water. If they are combined with potassium, sodium, ammonium and other substances, and are dried and ammonified, they can be easily absorbed by plants as nutrients.

Functions:

The role and efficacy of humic acid on plants is mainly reflected in improving soil structure, increasing soil fertility, promoting crop growth, improving the quality of agricultural products, slow-release effects, and promoting soil microbial activities. ‌

l‌Improve soil structure‌: Humic acid can chemically react with minerals in the soil to form stable soil aggregates, thereby improving the soil structure. This stable soil aggregate helps enhance soil aeration and water retention, improving soil fertility

● Improve soil fertility‌: Humic acid is rich in organic matter and trace elements and can provide comprehensive nutrition for crops. Humic acid can also combine with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other nutrients in the soil to form stable compounds, reducing the loss of nutrients and improving soil fertility‌

● Promote crop growth‌: Humic acid can stimulate the root development of crops and enhance
the absorption capacity of crops. Improve the stress resistance of crops, such as drought resistance, cold resistance, disease resistance, etc., so that crops can maintain normal growth in harsh environments‌

● Improve the quality of agricultural products‌: Humic acid fertilizer can increase the vitamin C content of vegetables and improve the sugar content and flavor of fruits. In addition, humic acid fertilizers can also reduce the content of harmful substances in agricultural products and improve the safety of agricultural products‌

● Slow-release effect‌: Humic acid has a strong adsorption capacity and can adsorb nutrients and pesticide residues in the soil, thereby slowing down their release rate and improving their utilization. Reduce fertilizer waste and pesticide residues‌

● Promote soil microbial activity‌: Humic acid is an important carbon source and energy source for soil microorganisms and can promote the reproduction and activity of soil microorganisms. It can further improve soil fertility and provide a better growing environment for crop growth‌‌
