Humesint FORTE is an organic humic amendment from 100% leonardite, with a total humic extract of 13.8%, of which 13.8% humic acids and 2.0% fulvic acids correspond to its composition, but do you know the leonardita? Let’s find out more!
Leonardite is an organic mineral that forms from the decomposition of plant materials in the soil over millions of years. It is made up mainly of organic matter and is found in deposits all over the world. Additionally, it is commonly used as a source of humic acids and fulvic acids.
Humic acids and fulvic acids are organic compounds found in the soil and are important for plant growth. Humic acids are dark compounds that form from the breakdown of organic matter in the soil.
They are large molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms, and are characterized by being insoluble in water. Humic acids are able to bind nutrients in the soil, such as iron, calcium, and magnesium, and make them more available to plants.
On the other hand, fulvic acids are smaller, water-soluble compounds that are also formed from the breakdown of organic matter in the soil. They are more complex molecules than humic acids and contain a variety of atoms, including carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.
Fulvic acids can also help improve nutrient availability to plants by complexing nutrients and making them more readily absorbable.
Within this type of products, from MORERA we want to present our FULVESINT.
FulveSint is a liquid organic fertilizer of plant origin, rich in organic matter. Its application to the soil helps to restore the organic matter that supports nutrients in the soil. It improves the structure of the soil and restores the clay-organic matter balance necessary for the sustenance of plant life.
Given its complete miscibility with water, it can be applied by different procedures: by flooding, sprinkling, dripping, etc.
FulveSint is composed of fulvic acids, which are large molecules (1000-5000 u.m.a.), easily combined with soil silicates, thus forming the organo-mineral substrate necessary to keep nutrients ready to be absorbed by the plant.
Heavy metals are at a trace level, never exceeding the maximum concentration established by law (CLASS C). All these characteristics give it exceptional quality when it comes to supplying organic matter to the soil in any crop.
FulveSint has a slightly acidic pH, which facilitates the mobilization of nutrients in the soil. Applied before the bottom fertilizer will contribute to improve its performance. During cultivation, its use has an impact on a better physical and chemical structure of the soil and therefore facilitates the assimilation of nutrients by the plant.
In summary, we can state that leonardite is an organic mineral that is used as a source of humic and fulvic acids, which are important for improving soil quality and promoting plant growth.
Within the products based on “humic and fulvic acids”, there are those who have a higher proportion of one or the other, or even in the same proportions. This sometimes causes confusion for the consumer, because sometimes they no longer distinguish between the needs of the plant or their own, so it is very important to be clear about what and how a product with a higher or lower concentration of these extracts of leonardita.
The choice between a fertilizer product with a higher humic or fulvic acid content will depend on the specific needs of the application and the type of soil in which the product will be used.
Humic and fulvic acids have different properties and benefits. Humic acids are larger and less soluble in water than fulvic acids, which allows them to bind minerals and nutrients in the soil and increase their availability to plants.
Fulvic acids, on the other hand, are more soluble in water and can penetrate the soil deeper, making them more useful for improving soil structure and water retention.
In general, if you are looking to improve soil fertility and plant nutrient uptake, a product with a higher humic acid content may be more beneficial. However, if you are looking to improve soil structure and water retention, a product with a higher fulvic acid content has more benefits, and therefore may be more appropriate.
It is important to note that the quality of the product is also crucial, regardless of the humic or fulvic acid content. For this reason, at MORERA we carry out different types of tests prior to launching the product on the market.
It begins with laboratory tests and ends in the open field, carrying out tests in all countries where weather conditions change, so that we can have a range of results tailored to each need.
It is always recommended to read product labels and do small-scale testing before applying any agrochemical on a large scale.
