In the past decades, when it came to continuously increasing crop yields and year-round nutrient inputs, the only effective technology that came to mind was fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus and other substances. The general view was that the more fertiliser applied to the land, the greater the yield increase.
Unfortunately, time has shown how wrong this approach is. Over-fertilisation has raised a number of environmental and soil problems. Nitrogen, nitrites and phosphorus in excess fertiliser poison soil water and our living water, and acidify the soil, which inhibits plant growth and promotes the absorption of heavy metals.
But then how do we get the many nutrients and plant fortifiers we need into the soil? Plants still need nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus in addition to the many micronutrients.... It seems as if we need to work with multiple materials at once to give our plants everything they need to thrive.
Fortunately, there is a simpler solution that is also completely environmentally friendly and economical! All you need is: Let's go back to the roots! 🙂 In the literal and a bit figurative sense.
Is there a formulation that can replace the many nutrient needs while already known for centuries for its beneficial effects through the root system. We just tend to forget about the systems that worked in the past, and we don't dare to assume that they can be more effective than modern chemicals.
Humus has long been known as a soil conditioner. Today, its most important rediscovered constituents are humic acids produced from humic minerals. The humic acids are produced from dead plant parts during carbon formation, effectively conserving the sun's energy. Research on humic acids has been going on for decades and many studies and practical applications have already shown that humic acids could be the cornerstone of agriculture in the next era.
Perhaps the simplest way to describe the mechanism of action of humic substances is restoring soil life, boosting the activity of micro-organisms, acting as a catalyst allow plants to take up micro and macro elements otherwise available in the soil much more easily through the roots.
So the key is not just to get these elements in, because a well-functioning soil with a natural soil life cycle contains all the nutrients you need. The idea is to help the plant take it all in easily and maintain the organic function of the soil. And substances containing humic acid do just that.
How does this work for nitrogen?
Nitrogen is the most important building block of proteins and amino acids, and is therefore an essential nutrient for plant growth. We know that nitrogen mainly affects the development of the vegetative parts of the plant, the root system, leaves, stems and fruit.
In addition to supporting the growth process, nitrogen also inhibits the ageing of leaves. In other words, the pale green or yellowish green foliage is a good indicator of a plant's nitrogen deficiency.
It is important to know that plants cannot take up and use the trace elements they need for their development in their elemental form (N), but only in their ionic form (NH+4, the NO-3 ions). The uptake of ionic forms is greatly facilitated by the giant molecules of humic acids, which almost absorb the micro and macro elements and deliver them to the roots.
A 96-97% of nitrogen in soils are in organic matter, mostly located at humus reserves of soil .. From this nitrogen store, nitrogen is converted by soil microorganisms into a form that plants can absorb. Many factors influence the efficiency of this process: soil temperature, soil porosity, air and water balance, the diversity of micro-organisms at work, and their viability. Ultimately, as we said earlier, a healthy balance of soil life.
Humic acids play a key role in achieving this balance. They feed the micro-organisms while acting as catalysts for the roots with their giant molecules to transport the minerals that plants need most. And the buzz of soil life has a knock-on effect on the soil itself. It stabilizes its temperature, loose structure, water holding capacity and this further improves the efficiency of nutrient uptake. Of course, this kind of equilibrium does not happen overnight, which is why it is important to keep replenishing humic acids, especially at the beginning of the transformation process.
Contrary to the action of humic substances, the continuous use of fertilisers leads to a deterioration of the physical condition of soils, while most of the nitrogen inputs, which cannot be immediately taken up by the plant, are removed from the soil, in many cases leaching into groundwater and contaminating it.
Using
Treatment of soils with humic acid soil conditioner, in our experience, several times a year, and up to 4-5 times a year in the case of degraded soils that have lost their natural balance, but at least in the spring and autumn is strongly recommended. Even after the first treatments, you can expect spectacular results and the plants will be grateful.
The most striking effect, compared to the previous ones, is a significant increased root mass which will bring many benefits to the plant. Much will tolerate it better both winter and summer extreme weather circumstancesand the possible summer drought. Moreover, healthy, well-nourished plants are better able to resist disease.
The humic acid-based soil conditioner also makes the plant tissues denser and more resistant, and as the chlorophyll content increases, the leaves of the plants become shinier.
Increasing the humus content of the soil, restoring natural soil life with humic acid-based soil conditioners such as Huminexpert, so it can replace nitrogen fertilisers on its own. But the Huminexpert has one extra feature that most humic acid-based soil conditioners on the market do not. This is the excellent water solubility, which compared to similar products is significantly increases its efficiency. This ensures that the valuable humic acids are used to their maximum potential and are safely delivered to the root zone where they can best exert their effect.
They are no more difficult to use than fertilisers, rather slightly different, since the Huminexpert is a liquid essence. It should therefore be applied by spraying rather than dispersing, after adjusting the dilution rate with water to the recommended rate for the crop.
Take care of the soil structure, health and vitality of your plants in a sustainable way. Look for Huminexpert's high quality, perfectly water soluble humic acid products!
