Humax Humic Acid (5 Gallon)
 Humax is liquid
humic acid extracted from Leonardite. Humic acid is a naturally occurring
organic substance found in soils, coal and peat, resulting from the decomposition
of organic matter, particularly dead plants. It consists of a mixture
of complex macro-molecules having polymeric phenolic structures with the
ability to chelate with metals.
Humic Acid to Stimulate Growth and Uptake Plant growth stimulant and
enhancer. Really performs when used in foliar feeding solutions with
other nutrients.
Humax enhances
cell permeability, acts as a source of biologically active carbon for
leaf-feeding microbes, increases oxygen availability and reduces the
surface tension of spray water (which boosts the effectiveness of
foliar pest control sprays, as well as foliar feeds).
- Rates of 16-32 oz/acre or 1 tbs/gal will stimulate
plant growth and increase yields.
- Rates of 4-16 oz/acre will increase
uptake of foliar nutrients, especially Ca, P, Mg and Fe
- Humax is applied
to soils in water or fertilizer solutions at 32-64 oz/acre to reduce
soil compaction and promote root growth.
- Many growers band it under
seeds to enhance germination at 12-24 oz/acre.
- Humax can also be used
at 1 oz/gal as a dip for transplants to stimulate root activity, reduce
transplant shock and as a seed soak.
Contains 12% humic acid.

The
effects of humic acids on plant growth and nutrient uptake have been
extensively studied by researchers. Humic acid has been reported to
promote seed germination, increase nutrient uptake and stimulate plant
growth. It has been indicated that humic acid promoted plant growth by
its effects on ion transfer at the root level, by activating the
oxidation-reduction state of the plant growth medium and so increased
absorption of micronutrients by preventing precipitation in the
nutrient solution. Humic acid enhances cell permeability, which in turn
made for a more rapid entry of minerals into root cells and so resulted
in higher uptake of plant nutrients. This effect was associated with
the function of hydroxyls and carboxyls in these compounds. The
principal physiological function of humic acids may be that they reduce
oxygen deficiency in plants, which results in better uptake nutrients.

Mylonas
and McCants observed that small amounts of humic acid increased the
growth of roots and tops of tobacco plants and increased the uptake and
translocation of Mg, Ca, and Fe. Senn and Kingman reported that with
3.6% of humic acid it significantly increased the germination of
tobacco seeds. Lee reported that corn growth was stimulated by 5 ppm
of humic acid in the nutrient solution and by 20 ppm humic acid as a
foliar application. Soil application of humic acid to corn increased
the uptake of phosphorus and iron and consequently in the dry matter
yield. Soils with low organic matter responded better than soils with
high organic matter. Bhardwaj and Gaur reported that humic acid has a
marked growth stimulating effect on Rhizobium trifolli and Azotobacter
chroococcum, the maximum effect being at a concentration of 500 ppm.
Humic acid increased the uptake of iron by the microorganisms. This
Indicated that humic acid was physiologically active and could be
compared to certain growth promoting substances such as hormones.

The above research results
indicate that humic acid such as Humax will stimulate seed germination,
increase the uptake of nutrients especially Ca, Mg, P and Fe, and promote
plant growth and yield. It will also stimulate the activities of soil
microorganisms by stimulating the uptake of minerals by the microorganisms.
The mechanism of humic acid on stimulating growth is similar to plant growth
regulators. The ability of humic acid in increasing plant nutrient
uptake is due to its chelating property which makes the nutrients more available
to plants and due to its ability to enhance cell permeability which in turn
makes for a more rapid entry of nutrients into plant cells. Humax can also reduce the surface tension of water and increase the effectiveness of nutrients or chemicals.
