HUMIC ACID (EIRI-1066)
Humic Acid is a bio-chemical which is a very complex mixture of organic constitents which have their counterpart in biological tissue of plants. It is a brown polymeric constituent of soils lignite and beat. It contains brownish-black pigment melanin and peat. Humic Acid acts as a chelating agent a growth stimulant and catalyst and buffer against harsh conditions in the soil affecting the plants. It unlocks and chelates major and minor nutrients for plant uptake. In the absence of chelates in the Soil, Iron, Zinc, Manganese, Copper and Magnesium are converted to insoluble hydroxides. It keep trace elements in solution available for growing plants. It buffers high and low pH’s to allow nutrient uptake to less than optimum conditions. Humic Acid has the ability to resist a change in the hydrogen ion concentration. Thus buffering capacity ranges between 5.5 and 6.5. It contains wide variety of major and trace elements several amino acid and has pH of not less than 7.0.
