Humic Acid

Humic Acid appears as a brown to black powder, odorless, and slightly soluble in water under certain conditions. It is primarily extracted from lignite, peat, or organic-rich soils. While weakly soluble in water, it easily dissolves in alkaline solutions. Humic Acid is a complex organic compound rich in carboxylic and phenolic acids, playing a crucial role in soil fertility and water retention.
