The short answer, right at the start: humic acid does not replace nitrogen fertiliser, because it is not a source of nitrogen. What it does is something else, and in practice it is often worth more: it makes the nitrogen already present in the soil, and the nitrogen you apply, more available to the plant, and it reduces the loss that today simply washes down into the groundwater.

The recent increase in the frequency and severity of extreme and often damaging weather events may increasingly jeopardise the effectiveness of production. In some areas, there are extreme drought conditions (as is unfortunately becoming more frequent and almost inevitable in the eastern regions of the Hungarian Great Plain), and in others, large amounts of rainfall in a short period of time, possibly combined with hail. To some extent, plants can be prepared for these adverse environmental stresses and their effects can be mitigated. Such stress tolerance treatments are based on the use of soil conditioners based on humic and fulvic acid. Humic acids ...
