The Amazing Benefits Of Humic Acid For Lawns

1. 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?

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
