Humistar is formulated with an optimum balance between Humic and Fluvic acids and provides a complete improvement of soil fertility. Formation and development of an optimum and improved root system. Improvement of soil structure and increase of cation exchange capacity. Greater optimization and efficiency in the use of the resources available for the crops. Efficient response to hydric stress increasing the capacity to retain water in different soil types. Improves the fertility of the soils physical characteristics (structure); chemical characteristics (nutrients uptake) and biological characteristics (microbial life) of the soil.
The most prominent and well-known benefit of humic (and fulvic) acids are how they increase nutrient uptake in plants. This is why they make such an excellent soil amendment, and it’s why they pair so wonderfully with fertilizers. Without humic acids present, some of the nutrients provided by fertilizers become inaccessible to plants, so money is lost and plant health suffers.
Humic acids also chelate harmful toxins in the soil, preventing them from entering the plant. This benefit is particularly important in today’s soil environments, where countless toxins have been introduced over many years, namely pesticides and heavy metals.
Humic acids have the very unique ability to increase water retention in soils. In the world’s changing climate, this is becoming more important as ecosystems become strained. It’s also vital for sandy, arid, and low-clay soils.
One of the most noticeable and impactful benefits of humic acids is their impact on microbial populations on soil. Scientists are increasingly realizing how important a healthy microbiome is to soil environments. And many bacteria populations have been decimated by poor soils and pesticides, so it’s imperative that they be restored. Humic acids aid the growth of microbial populations in two primary ways. First, they provide a source of carbon which serves as a food source for microbes. Secondly, due to their large size, they provide a source for microflora to colonize. So essentially humic acids provide food and shelter to beneficial microbes, which explains why microbial populations flourish in the presence of humic acids.
Humic acid makes the overall soil structure better. Although humic acid has a net negative charge, it carries both positive and negative charges. And it has a very large molecular size. Because of these properties, humic acids are able to bond to all soil particles, which creates necessary space for microbes and healthy root growth. This is especially noticeable in high-clay and compacted soils, where soil particles are bound tightly together. Humic molecules are even capable of standing clay particles on end, which allows more space and water penetration. Further, they remove salts from clay, which restores a negative charge from the clay particles, forcing them apart.
