• The Amazing Benefits Of Humic Acid For Lawns

2
Humic acid is a naturally occurring component of
soil organic matter and it plays a vital role in
plant growth. Regular application of humic acid
for lawns has been shown to facilitate the growth
of turfgrass and other garden plants.
Impressively, it does not come with any of the
potentially devastating environmental effects of
inorganic fertilizers. It is no surprise,
therefore, that there is an increased interest in
humic acid for lawns. But how exactly can humic
acid help plants grow?

Effects of Humic Acid Lawns on Soil Structure

• Humic acid prevents the loss of water in sandy
  and other light soil types. In compact soils,
  humic acid can help remove water retention and
  soil aeration, making the soil more suited for
  cultivation.
• Humic acid increases the ability of the colloids
  present in the soil to combine with each other.
  This prevents soil erosion or surface water
  runoff and soil cracking.
• Humic acid can also facilitate the absorption of
  energy from the sun by plants. It is thought to
  achieve this due through its soil darkening
  property.
• By increasing the water holding capacity of a
  given soil sample, humic acid for lawns could
  prove valuable in areas with minimal rainfall or
  during periods of drought.

Effects of Humic Acid Lawns on the
Nutrient/Chemical Profile of the Soil

• Humic acid greatly improves the buffering
  properties of any soil sample. The presence of
  alkaline soluble and acid soluble components in
  humic acid for lawns makes it capable of
  neutralizing soil pH.
• Humic acid prevents the leaching of soil
  nutrients by retaining water-insoluble nutrients
  around the root zone of plants.
• Humic acid has excellent chelating properties.
  Thus, it facilitates the uptake of essential
  metal ions by the root of plants.
• Humic acid enhances the conversion of essential
  elements such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium,
  Zinc, Iron, etc, into forms that can be readily
  absorbed by plants.
• It decelerates the reaction of phosphorus with
  cations such as Iron, Magnesium, Calcium, etc.
  Consequently, plants are better able to absorb
  phosphorus as well as these cations.
• Its chelating properties could also prove useful
  in trapping toxic substances such as heavy metals
  in the soil.

Effects of Humic Acid Lawns on Soil
Microorganisms and Plant Biology

• Humic acid is capable of increasing the
  production of plant enzymes and stimulating their
  activity
• The water retention properties help provide a
  moist environment for soil microbes to thrive
• It enhances the binding of nutrients to the roots
  of plants, thereby increasing root respiration
• Humic acid has also been shown to stimulate
  vertical root growth, helping plants develop
  larger root systems and ultimately making them
  stronger.
• Humic acid is known to aid photosynthesis and the
  effects are visible in the quality of yields.
