What is humic acid?
Humic acid is a major element of humic substances, which are the constituents of coal, peat and soil. It being the final break-down constituent of natural animal and plant decay material, is majorly found in leonardite sedimentation layers, which are the products of lignite. Used in agriculture, horticulture, ecological bioremediations, and dietary supplements applications, humic acid is highly advantageous for soil’s fertility and also increases water holding capacity. All of these benefits make humic acid a vital part for agriculture and crop yield as it is a natural soil conditioner and acts as a microbial stimulator or organic chelator.
