Description

Premium Horticultural Grade Humic Acid Soil Conditioner by OC Farms — Increases Nutrient Uptake, Stimulates Root Development, Activates Soil Biology

OC Farms Humic Acid is a concentrated premium horticultural grade organic soil conditioner packed with humic and fulvic acids and enriched with Potassium (K₂O) 8%. It improves soil fertility, promotes root growth and enhances nutrient absorption and overall plant health. One of the most scientifically proven soil amendments available — humic acid transforms the way your soil works, making every other fertilizer and amendment you use significantly more effective. ISO certified, 100% organic, improves root growth, promotes nutrient uptake.

What is Humic Acid? Humic acid is formed from the natural decomposition of organic matter over thousands of years — it is the active component of humus, the richest and most fertile layer of healthy soil. It acts as a natural chelator — binding to nutrients in the soil and making them available to plant roots in a form they can actually absorb. Most soils in India are deficient in humic acid due to years of chemical fertilizer use — replenishing it is one of the fastest ways to dramatically improve soil health and plant performance.

Composition Concentrated humic and fulvic acids derived from natural organic sources with Potassium (K₂O) 8% — premium horticultural grade, 100% organic.

• Provides Potassium (K₂O) 8% — essential for flowering, fruiting and overall plant strength
• Improves soil structure and water holding capacity
• Enhances effectiveness of all other fertilizers and amendments you use
• Reduces fertilizer requirements over time as soil health improves
• Buffers soil pH for optimal nutrient availability
• 100% organic and safe for all plants
• ISO certified by OC International Pvt. Ltd.

Dosage Guide

Humic Acid vs Fulvic Acid — Understanding the Difference OC Farms Humic Acid contains both humic and fulvic acids which work together. Humic acid primarily improves soil structure, water retention and long-term soil health. Fulvic acid is smaller in molecular size and penetrates plant cells directly — improving nutrient transport within the plant and acting faster. Together they provide both immediate and long-term benefits to your soil and plants. The added Potassium (K₂O) 8% makes this a complete 3-in-1 solution — soil conditioner, nutrient enhancer and potassium fertilizer in a single product.

Suitable For

• All vegetables, herbs and edible crops

• Fruit trees and shrubs
• Lawns and turf grass
• Indoor and balcony plants
• Agricultural crops

Storage Instructions

• Store in a cool, dry place
• Keep away from direct sunlight and moisture

Frequently Asked Questions

How does humic acid make fertilizers more effective? Humic acid acts as a natural chelator — it binds to nutrient ions in the soil and holds them in a plant-available form, preventing them from being locked up in the soil or washed away by watering. This means plants can absorb more of the nutrients you apply, making every fertilizer application more effective and reducing waste.

What does K₂O 8% mean for my plants? K₂O is the chemical notation for Potassium Oxide — the standard way potassium content is measured in fertilizers. At 8% potassium content OC Farms Humic Acid provides a meaningful potassium boost alongside its soil conditioning benefits. Potassium is essential for flowering, fruiting, disease resistance and overall plant strength — making this a truly multi-functional product.

How quickly will I see results? Humic acid works on two levels — the fulvic acid component acts quickly improving nutrient uptake within 7-10 days. The humic acid and potassium components build soil health and plant strength over weeks and months. Most gardeners notice improved leaf colour and growth within 2 weeks of first application.

Can I use humic acid with chemical fertilizers? Yes — humic acid actually improves the effectiveness of chemical fertilizers by improving nutrient availability. However for best long-term soil health we recommend transitioning to OC Farms organic products for a complete natural plant care system.

Is it safe for seedlings? Yes — use at the lower end of the dosage (2g per litre) for seedlings and young plants. Humic acid is gentle and completely safe for delicate seedlings.

How is humic acid different from compost? Compost provides nutrients and organic matter. Humic acid provides the concentrated active compounds that make nutrients available — it is the final product of composting taken to the highest level of concentration. Think of compost as the food and humic acid as the digestive system that makes the food usable.

Can I mix humic acid with other OC Farms products? Absolutely — humic acid works best as part of a complete soil health programme. Combine with OC Farms Vermicompost for nutrition, Seaweed Powder for trace elements and Bio-Booster for microbial activity for outstanding results.
