The Science At SIMPLY HUMIC

Your health starts with healthy soil biology

  • SIMPLY HUMIC

We’ve included links below to a few studies on Humic, or you can simply search the internet, the library, or your own local agricultural research centre. Such technical information is abundant. While element makeup of any Humic will vary from seam to seam, and even within one seam, virtually all Humic will contain Humic Acid and Fulvic Acid as well as trace or considerable quantities of  Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Sulfur, Nitrogen, Zinc, Manganese, Iron, Copper, Boron, Salts, Aluminum and other essential soil elements.

  • Different soils will react differently, but almost always show some noticeable improvement. It seems the rule of thumb is that “the poorer your soil is, the more positive the results when used correctly and liberally”.

LABORATORY STUDIES

Humic acid, a key component of soil organic matter, has been extensively studied for its beneficial effects on agriculture. Below is a curated list of scientific studies highlighting its positive impacts on soil health and crop performance:

  • A 1998 study by scientists at the North Carolina State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences showed that the addition of humate to soil “significantly increased root mass in creeping bentgrass turf”. Read More
  • A 2018 study by scientists at the University of Alberta showed that humic acids can reduce prion infectivity in laboratory experiments, but that this effect may be uncertain in the environment due to minerals in the soil that buffer the effect. Read More
