WHAT IS HUMUS?
Humus is a complex aggregate of brown to dark coloured substances, which originated during the ancient decomposition and deposition of plant and animal residues. Chemically humus is a very complex mixture of organic constituents which originated in living plant tissue.The end result of microbial activity and breakdown of humus is known as Humic Acid.
THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMIC ACIDS
Humic acids are complex organic* molecules formed by the breakdown of organic* matter in the soil. Humic acid contains many functional chemical groups that are highly active in the chelation and mobilisation of plant nutrients. Humic acids hold onto nutrients, attract moisture, provide carbon for microorganisms and help in the development of soil structure
