FULVIC ACID
Fulvic acid is an often overlooked contributor to plant health. Fulvic acid is a derivative of Humic acid, which is produced from leonardite. It helps plants use nutrients and minerals more efficiently while also detoxifying the plant and soil.
Fulvic acids are short-chain molecules that are fantastic natural nutrient chelators. The word chelate is derived from the Greek word chēlē, meaning "claw". Fulvic acid holds nutrients (like a claw) tightly enough so the nutrient is not tied up in the soil, but loosely enough that the nutrients are still available to the plant.
Fulvic acid is of a low molecular weight and size, and are capable of a high degree of cell penetration. They capture life-essential minerals, place an electrical charge on them, and carry them into the plant.
Fulvic acid aids in penetrating roots as well.
Additional Benefits:
-
It is non-toxic.
-
It is a powerful organic electrolyte.
-
It enhances cell division and elongation. Root growth is magnified with obvious benefits.
-
Can interact with sunlight to enhance photosynthesis.
-
Fulvic acid is a potent, natural chelating agent, slowing oxidation and converting metallic elements into readily absorbable, bio-available nutrition with very small molecular size allowing fulvic-chelated minerals rapid entry through plant cells.
-
Fulvic acid offers drought protection, due to improved moisture storage
-
Fulvic acid can detoxify pollutants in the soil.
-
Fulvic acid is responsible for an increase in stomata opening and transpiration and assists plant respiration as well as improving the respiration of beneficial micro-organisms.
-
Fulvic acid directly influences numerous enzymatic processes and stimulates the plant’s immune system.
