What Is Soil Organic Matter ? Soil organic matter can be grouped in four section Section 1: After the decomposition process by microorganisms 800 of soil is called HUMUS. Only Leonardite Based Humic Acids can add up directly to Humus content of the soil. Other fertilizers (can increase humus content after the decomposition process of Microorganisms in low percentages. The most valuable content which increases soil organic matter is Humus; and only the Humic Acid can directly increase Organic Matter Percentage of the soil. Section 2: Alive organisms and plant roots consists the 5% of the soil organic matter. Section 3: Consists of death animals,plants and soil microorganisms which are not decomposed yet. Section 4: Consists of 10% of the soil parts which are exposed to rapid decomposition. The Humic and Fulvic Acids can directly mix up with (80%) Humus contents and increase the yields. Other Organic Fertilizers can only mix up with %20 of the soil content. 
What the benefits of humic acids? Humic Acid holds onto a wide range of nutrients from applied fertilizer in the soil until plants are ready to use them Humic Acid also helps unlock bound nutrients in the soil,making them available to the plants.Humic Acid are very effective in chelating many plant nutrients and more importantly,in retaining water (see illustration below).This enables humic acids to retain a wide range of nutrients,all in close proximity to plant roots to provide more balanced nutrients,all in close proximity to plant roots to provide more balanced nutrients for growth. 
Soil moisture Humic acids, like most forms of plant organic matter, improves the water holding ability of most soils. In sandy soils, humic acids form a hydrophilic (water-attracting) coating on the sand particles which increases their wetting ability and moisture retention properties. In clays, humic acids open up the clay structures to enable greater water penetration and retention. Better soil wetting ability and greater soil penetration reduce water losses from run-off and drainage and improved water usage and reduction in labour requirement and costs. Nutrient retention and availability to plants Soil organic matter (humus) has a great ability to hold nutrients in the soil until they are required by plants. It is the humic acid molecules in the humus which hold most of the nutrients from applied fertilisers.Huminrich Humic acids, with its high concentration of humic acids, greatly improves the ability of sandy soils to hold many essential nutrients such as ammonium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and the trace elements. Sustaining balanced nutrition the well being of plants depends not only on what you feed your plants, but also on the availability of the nutrients in applied fertilisers and how successfully the plants are able to take these nutrients through their root system and foliar. Huminrich Humic Acid can unlock some of the bound phosphate and micronutrients in the soil by chemical reactions which solubilise the fixed phosphates. Huminrich Humic Acid soil conditioner increases the movement of calcium down the subsoil and plant root zone where it is most needed. This means quicker response from applied calcium in terms of nutrient availability and plant uptake. Calcium is important in promoting plant cell development which will result in healthier plants, greater resistance to diseases and better crop quality. Better root growth Huminrich Humic Acid also stimulates greater root growth in seedlings and mature plants resulting in higher nutrient uptake in plants and a greater ability to tolerate extended dry spells between irrigations or rainfall. A more extensive root system growth promotes greater plant vigor and better crop yield and quality.
