GS Plant Foods’ Liquid Humic Acid Concentrate 1 Gallon

GS Plant Foods’ Liquid Humic Acid Concentrate is easily assimilated by plants and some of its main functions include improving plant immunity, improving plant metabolism, improving plant root development, improving the supply of plant nutritional elements and increasing the formation of ferments.  Humic Acid promotes the increased accumulation of chlorophyll, sugar, amino acids and more and improves the efficiency of nitrogen utilization, allowing for reduced fertilizer rates.  Our 32 ounce bottle of concentrate yields up to 32 gallons!

One of the primary actions of Humic Acid is to increase the plant’s ability to withstand the stresses of heat, drought, cold, disease, insect and other types of environmental or cultural pressures. Humic also increases general plant productivity, in terms of yield, as well as plant stem strength. 

Within the soil, humic stimulates soil microorganisms, promoting Humus.  Humus, the building block of "organic matter", is one of the best natural conditioners for soil. This Liquid Humic Acid is made from compost and Leonardite, which is produced by the natural oxidation of exposed lignite, a low-grade coal.
Directions For Use:   Our Organic Humic is extremely safe. Unlike synthetic fertilizers, you don't have to worry about 'burning' your plants if you apply too much.   To apply the Liquid Humic Acid, simply add 2 ounces of the humic concentrate into a gallon of water and apply. Each gallon of the dilution will cover from 500 to 1000 sq ft.  Depending on what you are applying to, there are different ways you could apply. If it is to a single tree or plant, you can just add the humic to the water in a bucket and pour directly on to the base of the tree at the soil level.  If you are applying to a larger area, as in a garden or a lawn, the easiest way is to use a hose end sprayer and set it at 2 ounces per gallon. You can get these hose end sprayers at a hardware store or $5 to $10.   As for how often to apply, perhaps every 3-4 weeks during the growing season,  with at least 3 applications ideally.

Applying Liquid Humic acid has the following advantages:
• Penetrates the soil quickly, going directly to the roots for rapid absorption
• Easier to apply than compost
• Can be used with indoor plants
• Can be used with other fertilizers or soil conditioners
• Helps stabilize soil pH
• Increases soil bacteria
• Increases water retention

📚 Humic acids (HA) are organic molecules that play essential roles in improving soil fertility and crop productivity.

🔎 The characteristics of humic substances are classified into humin, humic and fulvic acids in relation to different solubility at acid and alkaline pH, and their activities strongly depend on their origin and molecule characteristics.

📈 It has been shown that the molecules fraction with higher mobility and better diffusion rates exhibited the highest stimulating effect on the the plant metabolism and photosynthetic activity.
