What is Agrilink Humic/Fulvic/Boron Product?
It is a combination of 3 most Powerful Substances that are most beneficial to Soil and Plants
Humic Acid, Fulvic Acid and Boron
IMPORTANCE OF BORON IN PLANT GROWTH
Boron (B) is a micronutrient critical to the growth and health of all crops. It is a component of plant cell walls and reproductive structures. It is a mobile nutrient within the soil, meaning it is prone to movement within the soil. Because it is required in small amounts, it is important to deliver B as evenly as possible across the field. Traditional fertilizer blends containing B struggle to achieve uniform nutrient distribution. Despite the need for this critical nutrient, B is the second most widespread micronutrient deficiency problem worldwide after zinc.
Major Functions of Boron in Plants
Boron plays a key role in a diverse range of plant functions including cell wall formation and stability, maintenance of structural and functional integrity of biological membranes, movement of sugar or energy into growing parts of plants, and pollination and seed set. Adequate B is also required for effective nitrogen fixation and nodulation in legume crops.
What is Humic acid?
Humic acid (HA) is one type of humic substance with a large molecular structure. They are dark in color ranging from dark brown to black. The structure of humic acid is primarily composed of carbon chain and carbon ring. In addition to carbon, humic acids also contain oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and phosphorus. The exact composition of humic acids is varied depending on its sources. Humic acid is rarely soluble in water but is completely soluble in alkaline solutions. Humic acids work best in the soil where they can work as chelating agents to unlock nutrients and bind to them, making the nutrients in available forms for plants to uptake. Humic acid can also stimulate root and shoot growth, stimulate the microbial activity in soil, and improve the soil structure.
What is Fulvic acid?
Fulvic acid (FA) is another type of humic substance with less complex molecular structure. They are similar to humic acids with differences in carbon and oxygen contents and lesser molecular weight. Fulvic acid is soluble in water at all pH levels unlike humic acid which are only soluble in high pH. The color of fulvic acid is ranged from yellow to light brown. Fulvic acids are more active than humic acids due to its oxygen content that is almost double the amount of humic acid. Fulvic acid is the most effective organic chelating compound and can be used through foliar application due its small molecular size and electrical charge which plant can immediately uptake.
