KING HUMUS PLUS is product that contains humic and fulvic acids to be applied to the soil. Humic acids and, in particular, fulvic acids bond themselves to iron, calcium and aluminium in the soil. This will limit phosphate fixation and more phosphate will remain available for the plant. Root growth is stimulated indirectly because of the improved phosphate availability. Better root growth results i
n a more effective absorption of applied minerals from fertilisers and a better absorption of nutrients present in the soil. KING HUMUS PLUS contributes positively towards plant growth and, especially, under difficult growing conditions. Humic Acids and its benefits
Humic acids can significantly reduce water evaporation and increase its use by plants in non-day, arid, and sandy soils. Furthermore, they increase the water holding capacity of soils. Humic acids aid in correcting plant chlorosis, increase the permeability of the plant membranes and intensify enzyme systems of plants. They accelerate cell division, show greater root development, and decrease stress deterioration.Under the influence of humic acids, plants grow stronger and they better resist plant diseases. Humates reduce soil erosion by increasing the cohesive forces of the very fine soil particles. They improve the soil structure and improve physical properties of soil by increasing the exchange capacity and buffening qualities, promoting the chelation of many elements and making these available to plants. Humic substances can ameliorate negative soil properties; improve the plant growth and nutrients uptake. When applied to clay soils, humic acid can help break up compacted soils, allowing for enhanced water pe*******on and better root zone growth and development. When applied to sandy soils, humic acid adds essential organic material necessary for water retention thus improving root growth and enhancing the sandy soil's ability to retain and not leach out vital plant nutrients. Improve plant growth
As mentioned above, one way plant growth is improved is through the structural improvement of both clay and sandy soil allowing for better root growth development. Plant growth is also improved by the ability of the plant to uptake and receive more nutrients. Humic acid is especially beneficial in freeing up nutrients in the soil so that they are made available to the plant as needed. For instance if an aluminum molecule is binded with a phosphorus one, humic acid detaches them making the phosphorus available for the plant. Humic acid is also especially important because of its ability to chelate micronutrients increasing their bio-availability. The activities of beneficial soil microbes are crucial for the sustainability of any soil and plant growth. Humic acid stimulates microbial activity by providing the indigenous microbes with a carbon source for food, thus encouraging their growth and activity. Soil microbes are responsible for solubilizing vital nutrients such as phosphorus that can then be absorbed by the humic acid and in turn made available to the plant. Additionally, microbes are responsible for the continued development of humus in the soil as it continues to break down not fully decomposed organic matter. This in-situ production of humus continues to naturally add to the humic acid base and its benefits. KING HUMUS PLUS stimulate the plant to produce its own beneficial hormones naturally. By enhancing nutrient uptake and hormone production through your plants’ roots or leaves, KING HUMUS PLUS help increase flowering, budding, fruit set, fruit size and maturity. This helps you deliver improved crop quality and yields, resulting in more uniform maturity and consistent size. KING HUMUS PLUS add to your plants’ vigor, even late in the season, while helping fight the effects of disease, stress, insects and weather. These benefits combine to make you more efficient, more productive and more profitable at harvest. KING HUMUS PLUS improve the quality of your soil by increasing the activity of beneficial bacteria and fungi in your fields. This increased microbial activity delivers many benefits to the soil such as improving soil physical properties and increasing mineral availability. More importantly, these organisms break down available organic matter into nutrient-rich humus. What's the difference between humic acid and fertilizers? There is a lot of confusion out there when it comes to Humic Acids; people always wonder if it is a fertilizer, and if not a fertilizer - what is it? Humic Acids are best known as a soil conditioner which makes poor soils good and good soils great. Humic Acids work best when applied with fertilizers to create optimum growing conditions. They work as a compliment to the fertilizer and the benefit is a more efficient use of your fertilizer and the money you spent to add it. Humics Work in Conjunction with Fertilizers
Humic Acids are not fertilizers, but can be added to any fertilizer prescription as a compliment to it. Fertilizers are analyzed on the basis of their value of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium or Potash (N-P-K). Humic Acids are analyzed on the basis of their content of humus and in the case of Black Earth that value is over 80%. Humic Acids can Increase the Effectiveness of Fertilizer
Humic Acids have the ability to make your soil perform better even if it is a marginal soil condition. Fertilizers provide a nutrient source for the plant, but rarely have any benefit to the soil. When applied to sandy soils, Humic Acids can provide organic matter and help retain water, which is essential to plant growth. Some fertilizers are mobile in the soil and have the potential to leach out of the root zone in sandy soils. Granular Humic Acids can help hold these fertilizers in the root zone for longer periods of time and allow the plant to take up more nutrients. In hard pan or compacted soils, an addition of Humic Acid can break up these soils and allow nutrients to pe*****te deeper down to the root zone.
