Researh & Development:
Our Research & Development departament has found the following proven benefits:
- 1) Improvement of soil
The application of fulvic acids to the soil encourages the formation of aggregates due to free radicals of the fulvic acid molecule attracting metals retained in clay, which in turn attract portions of clay. This improves the structure of the soil and allows improved circulation of air and water in the rhizosphere.
- 2) Better use of nutrients and agro-chemicals in general
Nutrients and agro-chemicals are used up to 4 times more by the plant when they are applied in a mixture with fulvic acids, whether to the leaves or to the roots. This is due to their high chelating power, which allows molecules to remain in solution. Due to the low molecular weight of fulvic acids, the nutrients penetrate and circulate more quickly throughout the entire plant.
This property is illustrated in the experiment carried out with radioactive iron and phosphorous isotopes.
3) Biostimulant.
Fulvic acids have a biostimulant effect on plants by promoting the production of nucleic acids. They improve enzyme activity and catalyze biochemical processes such as respiration and photosynthesis.
4) Reproductive effect of microorganisms in the soil.
Fulvic acids stimulate the reproduction of microorganisms in the soil; it has been proved that it can increase their production by up to 2000 times in just two weeks following the application of fulvic acids in a concentration of 50 ppm. By increasing microbial activity of the soil, its characteristics are improved. It becomes more fertile and provides the plant with an increased quantity of nutrients. Pathogenic elements are controlled in the soil and non-desirable materials are decontaminated from land (such as radioactivity).
