• Form: Humic acid powder is a fine, dry powder derived from the decomposition of plant and animal material over long periods. It is rich in organic matter, particularly humic substances, and is extracted from leonardite (a soft coal-like substance) or peat.
• Composition: The powder contains a mix of humic acid, fulvic acid, and humin, which are beneficial in improving soil structure, nutrient availability, and microbial activity.

1. Improves Soil Structure:

   • Enhances Soil Aeration: Helps to break up compacted soil, increasing air spaces and improving root growth.
   • Increases Water Retention: Helps sandy soils retain moisture and improves drainage in clay soils.

2. Nutrient Availability and Uptake:

   • Chelation of Nutrients: Humic acid powder binds to nutrients in the soil, making them more available to plants. This includes important elements like phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and micronutrients.
   • Increased Fertilizer Efficiency: Works in conjunction with fertilizers by improving their efficiency, reducing nutrient loss and increasing plant uptake.

3. Root Development:

   • Stimulates Root Growth: Humic acid can help improve root penetration and development, allowing plants to establish more quickly and take up more nutrients.

4. Promotes Microbial Activity:

   • Supports Soil Microorganisms: Humic acid powder encourages the growth of beneficial soil microorganisms, which help break down organic material and recycle nutrients in the soil.

5. pH Regulation:

   • Buffering Capacity: Humic acid has a natural buffering effect, helping to stabilize soil pH, making it easier for plants to absorb nutrients in a broader pH range.

6. Plant Growth and Stress Resistance:

   • Growth Promotion: Humic acid contains natural plant growth-promoting substances that can stimulate overall plant development.
   • Increased Stress Resistance: Improves a plant’s tolerance to environmental stresses like drought, temperature extremes, and disease.

1. Soil Amendment:

   • Application Rate: Typically, 1–5 lbs per 1000 square feet depending on the soil condition. It can be applied directly to the soil and then tilled or mixed in to a depth of around 2–3 inches.
   • Incorporating into Soil: Sprinkle the powder evenly over the soil surface, then mix it into the top 2–3 inches of the soil using a rake or tiller.

2. Compost Enhancer:

   • Composting: Humic acid powder can be added to compost piles to speed up decomposition and improve the overall nutrient quality of the compost.
   • Application Rate: Add around 1–2 tablespoons per cubic yard of compost to enhance microbial activity and nutrient release.

3. Foliar Spray:

   • Mix with Water: Dissolve the humic acid powder in water to create a solution for foliar application. Typical concentration is about 1 tablespoon per gallon of water.
