How much do you know about mineral fulvic acid?

What are the effects of mineral fulvic acid?

Mineral fulvic acid, some one also calls it mineral potassium fulvic acid, refers to natural high-molecular organic matter formed by the decomposition of organic matter such as animal and plant residues through microorganisms and geochemical processes. It is mostly extracted from peat, lignite and weathered coal. It is an excellent organic matter. It comes from the soil and is also beneficial to the soil. It is worth noting that organic matter is not necessarily mineral potassium fulvic acid, but mineral potassium fulvic acid must be organic matter.

Mineral potassium fulvic acid, has been recognized and advocated by many countries for its ecological, trace and powerful comprehensive effects, and its miraculous effects in solving crop physiological disorders, improving agricultural product quality and increasing benefits. It has also been favored by growers, especially high-end cash crop growers. Let's take a look at the role of mineral potassium fulvic acid, and how to use it！

 What are the functions of mineral potassium fulvic acid?

1. Improve soil

(1) The fertilization method of focusing on inorganic fertilizers and neglecting organic fertilizers has destroyed the soil structure and reduced soil fertility. The phenomena of soil compaction and salinization have become increasingly serious. The soil has become increasingly barren due to fertilizers. As an excellent organic matter, mineral potassium fulvic acid, plays an important role in soil improvement.

(2) After mineral potassium fulvic acid, is applied to the soil, it can promote the formation of soil aggregate structure, improve the soil structure, and increase the soil's water retention and air permeability.

(3) From a structural point of view, mineral potassium fulvic acid has multiple functional groups that can adjust the soil pH and fix toxic heavy metals on the soil surface through complexation, chelation, and reduction to reduce the toxicity of heavy metals.

(4) In addition,mineral potassium fulvic acid, can also provide sufficient carbon source and energy for soil microorganisms and improve the activity of soil microorganisms.

2. Improve nutrient effectiveness

(1) Mineral potassium fulvic acid, can form a complex with urea to achieve the effect of controlling nitrogen release; the mixed use of phosphate fertilizer and mineral potassium humate can reduce the fixation of phosphorus by metal ions such as calcium, magnesium, and iron, and promote the absorption of phosphorus by the root system; the functional groups in mineral potassium fulvic acid can absorb potassium ions and avoid potassium leaching.

(2) Mineral potassium fulvic acid greatly improves fertilizer efficiency and plays an important role in achieving efficiency enhancement. Chairman of the Humic Acid Industry Association, once introduced that under the condition of equal nutrients, the utilization rate of mineral potassium fulvic acid fertilizer is more than 10 percentage points higher than that of conventional fertilizers, which is equivalent to a net increase of 30%-40%.

3. Stimulate growth

Mineral potassium fulvic acid can stimulate the physiological metabolism of plants, promote early germination of seeds, and increase the emergence rate; stimulate the division and growth of extreme meristem cells of the root system, promote rapid rooting of seedlings, and increase the number of secondary roots, thereby improving the crop's ability to absorb water and nutrients.

4. Enhance crop stress resistance

Plants will inevitably suffer from stress such as high temperature and drought, floods or pests and diseases during their growth.

Mineral potassium fulvic acid can promote plant growth and improve its resistance. It promotes the synthesis of proline and the accumulation of sugars in plants, increases the activity of cell protection enzymes such as peroxidase and superoxide dismutase, and adjusts the physiological state of plants in adversity, such as cell membrane permeability and transpiration rate, to resist the stress of external adversity.

Some studies have also shown that the mixing of mineral potassium fulvic acid with pesticides can enhance the effect and effectively reduce the occurrence of some pests and diseases. Reasonable application of fertilizers containing mineral potassium humate can enhance the resistance of crops and reduce the losses caused by adversity.

5. Improve quality

(1) Mineral potassium fulvic acid can complex some insoluble trace elements, promoting the absorption, utilization and transportation of these essential trace elements by the root system.

(2) Mineral potassium fulvic acid can also promote the activity of enzymes to convert polysaccharides into soluble monosaccharides, increase the synthesis and accumulation of starch, protein and fat substances, and accelerate the movement of various nutrients to fruits and seeds, making the fruits plump and thick, and improving the quality.

We already know the role of mineral fulvic acid in agriculture. So how can we use it to achieve the desired effect?
