Humic Acids contain a concentrated complex of humic acids, cultured soil bacterias and trace minerals– a combination that works especially well
for residue breakdown.
HA’s are complex organic molecules formed by the breakdown of organic matter in the soil They are not considered to be fertilizers per se, but soil
enhancers and improvers. HA’s biologically stimulates plant growth, chemically changes the fixation properties of soil and physically modifies the
soil. Is rich in organic and mineral substances that are essential to plant growth
Huma-Tec stimulates an organic decay system that uses Winter and Spring moisture to re-establish good soil life, improve soil tilth and convert
carbon into plant food. Remember: The source of all carbon is from the decay of organic matter. Since organic matter is 58% carbon, the proper
decay of your crop residues adds a priceless fertilizer that can’t be purchased in town!
Where do HA’s come from? HA’s are the end result of the composting of ancient plant and animal matter. The presence of humic acids in coals
has been known for some time. Low grade coals, called lignite, contain more humic acids than high grade coals. HA’s for agricultural use are mined
from deposits in New Mexico, Wyoming, North Dakota and the sea. Mined from both land and sea, humic acid is the end result of the composting
of ancient plant and animal matter.
Benefits: A broadcast application of Huma-Tec restores and enlivens tired, worn out soils. This product is a great tool for both no-till and
conventional farmers because it not only breaks down crop residues, it also helps put oxygen back in the soil, take out hardpan and open the soil for
accepting and storing valuable moisture. Plant uptake is improved for most additives whenever humic acid is included in the mix.
Farms that have already reached optimum fertilization practices see significant improvement in nutrient uptake, plant growth, and yield by
incorporating humic acid into their fertilizer program. Humic acid isn’t a cure all, but it’s benefits are astounding!
HA’s help correct multiple deficiencies in crops by providing high quality micronutrients for healthy plants and better yields Huma-Tec is easily
applied with liquid fertilizers and helps retain soluble fertilizers in the root zone for release as needed and also stimulates germination.
What do Humic Acids do?
According to research conducted by Texas A&M's Professor Emeritus, Dr. Robert Pettit—humic acids produce all of the physical, biological and
chemical benefits noted below. Besides Dr. Pettit, the USDA and over 20 major universities have conducted research on humic acids and have
concluded that they are a monumental discovery in plant nutrition and soil fertility.

Chemical Benefits
Helps convert elements to plant food
Rich in organic / mineral substances
Retains soluble fertilizers in root zone
Has high ion-exchange capacities
Time releases nutrients as needed
Stabilizes nitrogen applications
Breaks down salt complexes
Buffers pH of soils
Absorbs toxins like salt water and pesticides. Carbon charges bind
to the toxic molecule, allowing microbes to break it down

| What Are Humic Acids? |
One accepted use for humic acid is in pre-plant or starter phosphorus bands, as it greatly improves phosphate availability even in high lime soils. Plants
have a hard time taking up phosphates in high pH soils. Also, phosphorus tie-up is especially critical for annual crops that are planted in the Spring
when soils are cool. Humic acid chelates soluble calcium and protects the phosphates from the calcium/phosphate interaction. The amine functional
groups of humic acid can then absorb the phosphate anions, improving availability for plant uptake.
