Humic and Fulvic acid derived from Leonardite
Our supply partner ( Humate international - USA)
The parameters we measure when we choose any Water soluble Humic Acid Powder or liquid are the following:-
1) CEC Figure ( Cation Exchange Capacity) and it is measured by meq/100gm ( the higher, the better)
2) Solubility 25 ° C
3) Percentage of active Humic compound ( The maximum the better)
4) Percentage of Fulvic Acid in the solution
( Detected by acid treatment to separate Fulvics).
5) Percentage of Huminites ( Insoluble dark black material) , which must be in minimum.
6) Flash point : To detect the coal residues, and the Humified organic components.
7) The color spectrum at 0.01% distilled water solution ( The more orange-brownish color is the best, the more blackish is the worst).
8) The percentage of burned (heat carbonated particles) , the less is the best , this detects if the product was dried in the cold tower process , or on hot plate scraper.
9) The physical appearance of the particles : Light Bran like flakes is the best , while fine dark black powder is the worst.
10) The specific gravity : gms per cm3, ( the less is the best) because it gives direct technical indication about the mother Humified organic matter.
11) Ash percentage.
12) Sodium percentage ( Good product must be free from Sodium)
13) pH @ 5% solution, This shows how caustic the extraction process was, ( High ph levels can destroy natural occurring active components).
14) Nitrogen percentage.
15) Potassium percentage.
16) Cadmium percentage, ( it must be totally free from Cadmium Cd, Lead Pb,... and other heavy metals.
17) Smell : the more soil like with phenolic smell is the best , while caustic soap like smell is low quality.
Why do we add Humic acid to the soil ? 1) To increase Cation Exchange Capacity ( CEC)

2) To improve soil structure that helps in more aeration and more water movement thus results with better root development and less effect of
soil born diseases .
3) To stimulate beneficial micro organisms .
4) Breaks down complexes , and chelates soil nutrients keeping it available for absorption .
5) Humic acid promotes root growth and proton pump ,the conformational dynamics of humic hydrophobic associations in the rhizosphere
may release auxin-like plant growth promoters and enhance plant biochemical activities.
6) Increases seed germination .

Dry seaweed Meal Ascophyllum nodosum
But the most important components are :-
1) Kinetin, Cytokinin
Kinetinis a type of cytokinin, a class of plant hormone that promotes cell division.
2) Mannitol
Mannitol in plants, is used to induce osmotic stress
3) AlginatesAct as soil conditioner , and has great influence on water holding capacity , while the direct recognizable effect is
its role as a transporter and stabilizer media for cytokinins component to provide it to the root zone , thus
increasing cell division and cell elongation in the root
4) Natural Auxins like compounds
Auxins have important role in :-
Root growth and development .
Xylem and Phloem formation by cell differentiation and regeneration of vascular tissue .
Induces shoot apical dominance and Fruit growth and development , and delays fruit senescence ( fruit aging )
Secondary role in fruit initiation
Ethylene biosynthesis , and regulating leaf age
5) BetainesBetaines serve as organic osmolytes substances synthesized or taken up from the environment by cells for protection against osmotic stress, drought, high salinity or high temperature. Intracellular accumulation of betaines, non-perturbing to enzyme function, protein structure and membrane integrity, permits water retention in cells, thus protecting from the effects of dehydration.

Intercell and ATCA
ATCA can diffuse inside the plant cell , where it starts enzyme break down of this compound to form Thioproline , which plays important role in overcoming stress conditions , by interacting with proline metabolism to increase its level in plant cell subsequently, N-Formyl Cysteine and Cysteine are formed , working as metabolic activator.
Amino acids in Inter cell
Crops need to synthesize Amino acids to reproduce.They are able to do this by absorbing Carbon ,Nitrogen , Oxygen and other essential elements from soil and air.
Amino acids in Inter cell
The Amino acids , in the presence of the enzymes acting as catalytic agents , undergo very complex biochemical process which lead to the formation of peptides and proteins.
