Humic acid is known as black gold of agriculture. It is a principal component of humic substances which are the major organic constituents of soil, peat, and coal. It is highly soluble in water and easily taken up by a plant as compared to fertilizer because it has numerous active sites which make it soluble in water. This property of humic acid makes it special when it is applied to the soil.

Humic substances (humic and fulvic acid) constitute 65 to 70 per cent of the organic matter in soils. It contains nitrogen, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium, sulphur, copper and zinc. Humic acid is reported to be more beneficial in soils with less than two per cent organic matter contents.

Humic acid breaks up compact clay soil and ‘frees’ up nutrients, boosting water penetration and encouraging healthier root development. When it comes to sandy soil, this material aids water retention and prevents the leaching of essential plant nutrients.
