Organic Soil Conditioner
HUMIC ACID
An organic soil conditioner derived from natural sources. It improves soil structure, enhances nutrient availability, stimulates vigorous root growth, and increases beneficial microbial activity for sustainable soil health management.
Active: Humic Substances
Type: Organic Biostimulant
Action: Soil Conditioning
Product Information
Mode of Action
Humic acid acts as a powerful soil amendment through several mechanisms:
- Improved Soil Structure: It physically modifies soil structure, increasing aeration and water-holding capacity.
- Nutrient Availability: It has a high Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and acts as a natural chelator, binding to micronutrients and preventing them from locking up in the soil, making them easily available to plant roots.
- Root Stimulation: It exhibits auxin-like activity, directly stimulating vigorous root development and improving nutrient uptake efficiency.
- Microbial Activity: It serves as a food source for beneficial soil microorganisms, enhancing overall soil biological activity.
Key Benefits
- Improves soil structure and water holding capacity.
- Enhances nutrient availability and uptake.
- Stimulates vigorous root growth and development.
- Increases beneficial soil microbial activity.
- Reduces chemical fertilizer requirement by 15-20% due to better uptake efficiency.
- Improves stress tolerance in plants (drought, salinity).
General Dosage Recommendations
*Note: Specific dosage data was not provided in the input. The table below contains general recommendations for liquid Humic Acid (approx. 12-18%). Always consult local label or agronomist.
| Application Method | Crop Types | General Dosage |
|---|---|---|
| Soil Drench / Drip | Vegetables, Field Crops | 2 – 5 Liters / Acre |
| Soil Drench / Drip | Fruit & Plantation Crops | 3 – 8 Liters / Acre |
| Foliar Spray | All Crops | 1 – 2 ml / Liter of water |
Directions for Use
1. Timing
Best applied during initial land preparation, at planting/transplanting to stimulate early root growth, and during active vegetative growth stages.
2. Application Methods
Can be applied via soil drenching, through drip irrigation systems (fertigation), or as a foliar spray. Soil application is generally more effective for long-term soil health benefits.
3. Compatibility
Compatible with most fertilizers and biopesticides. It is often synergistically mixed with NPK fertilizers to improve their efficiency. Always perform a jar test before mixing.
