What is Humic Acid?
Humic Acid (HA) is a kind of dark, complicated organic molecule that comes from dead plants and animals. It is very important for healthy soil because it improves structure, holds nutrients, and supports microbial life. It works by binding nutrients, buffering pH, increasing the soil’s ability to exchange cations, and stimulating the growth of plant roots. This makes plants healthier and stronger, and they can absorb more water.
Humic substances exist in all soils and waters, originating from the decomposition of plant material. They are divided into humin, humic acid, and fulvic acid based on how they are extracted. Humates and fulvates are the names of their salts. Humic acid is the main part of humus and is what makes it alive. Peat has about 3–10% humic acid, and fertile soil has a maximum of 3%. Humic acid can be found in a certain layer of soft brown coal that hasn’t yet turned into lignite. The concentration can be as high as 85%. Leonardite is the name given to this soft brown coal layer around the world. Leonardite has more humic acid and is more oxidized than soft brown coal. Since Leonardite was found to have a lot of humic acid, it has become much more common to make it for use in agriculture.
humic acid benefits
Humic acid can offer organic nutrients for soil and improve plant growth; it acts as a natural soil conditioner, which can improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient absorption.
Improves Soil Structure:
Binds soil particles, creating better aeration, water penetration, and root growth.
Enhances Nutrient Uptake:
Acts as a chelator, making essential nutrients (N, P, K, micronutrients) more available to plants and reducing fertilizer loss.
Increases Water Retention:
Helps soil hold moisture longer, reducing watering needs and improving drought tolerance.

Regulates Soil pH:
Neutralizes both acidic and alkaline soils, creating a better environment for plants.
Feeds Soil Biology:
Provides food and habitat for beneficial microbes, boosting soil health.
Boosts Crop Performance:
Leads to increased biomass, root mass, and overall plant health.
Humic Acid Application
About the humic acid application, it can be use for many field, such as soil amendment, for plants, lawns, garden, agriculture, etc.
Humic Acid Vs. Fulvic Acid
Many people or new gardeners often mix up the humic acid and fulvic acid; they look a little the same. They come from the same place; both of them come from humic substances. But they are definitely different items. They differ mainly in how big their molecules are and how well they dissolve in water.
The difference between humic acid and fulvic acid:
| Properties | Humic Acid | Fulvic Acid |
|---|---|---|
| Molecular size | Large, complex | Very small |
| Molecular weight | High | Low |
| Color | Dark brown/black | Yellow to light brown |
| Water solubility | Only soluble in alkaline pH | 100% water-soluble at all pH levels |
| Primary focus | Soil improvement | Plant metabolism & nutrient transport |
