Humic ACID 12% is rich organic (carbon) complex aromatic macromolecules with amino acids, sugars, peptides, aliphatic, compound, involved in linkages between aromatic rings. The typical humate molecule contains free and bound phenolic and carboxylic acid groups, quinone structures and nitrogen and oxygen as bridge units between aromatic structures. Humates are colloidal in nature. In certain respects they behave like clay minerals.
How does Humic Acid work/ Benefits?
Improved water holding and nutrient availability

Humates contain many beneficial groups such as the carboxylic (-CooH) and phenolic(oH). It is these with their negatively charged particle which make humates very effective in chelating with most of the plant nutrient and importantly water molecules. This is known as “cation exchange capacity” (CEC) by improving the CEC of a soil. Humic acid actually increase the soils ability to hold more nutrients and moisture for the plant to utilize, which improves the efficacy of fertilizers.

Penetration and retention of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium and trace elements(Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu , Mn, Fe, B) in the subsoils there fore occurs due to mass in plants and a reduction in the incidence of transplant shock.
