Fulvic acid is an interesting nutrient that helps plants get minerals from the dirt around them. A group of chemicals called humates are formed as part of the process in which once living things are broken down by bacteria to replenish the soil. Humic acid is a major component of this byproduct. Fulvic acid, a very tiny, electrically charged molecule, makes up a major part of humic acid. This allows fulvic acid to work in the soil by combining with minerals to create a substance that the plants can pull up through their roots. Without fulvic acid, it would be very hard for plants to get nutrients, especially minerals, from the surrounding soil. Continue reading →
