Humic acids are organic molecules that play essential roles in improving soil properties, plant growth, and agronomic parameters. Humic acid's ability to bind with soil particles boosts the overall structure of the soil. It promotes healthy root growth in high-clay and compacted soil and binds loose low-clay soil particles for better water retention. In addition, humic molecules can remove salts from clay soil, which boosts plant health further.
Humic acid is commonly used to amend soil because it improves nutrient uptake in plants. It boosts nutrient uptake through foliar and soil amendments. Not all soil nutrients are absorbed by plants; some need organic acids to facilitate the absorption of certain nutrients. That’s where humic acid comes in; it makes certain nutrients accessible to plants – even nutrients that come from fertilizers. This is the reason why humic acid is often paired with fertilizers.
Humic acid has the uncanny ability to chelate harmful toxins in the soil, protecting the plants from absorbing toxins from the earth. Toxins are everywhere, including in the soil. Pesticides, heavy metals, and traces of petroleum products are just some of the many harmful compounds that plants can absorb from the soil. Think of humic acid as a barrier that prevents plants from absorbing harmful molecules. Pollutants bind with humic molecules; these are locked up and washed away from the soil instead of being absorbed by plants.
It boosts Soil Moisture as it can attract and retain moisture. Besides, it boosts the microbial population in soil by promoting a healthy microbiome.
