2. Humic substance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humic_substance

   The International Humic Substances Society advocates the use of standard laboratory methods for preparation of humic and fulvic acids. Humic substances are extracted from soil and other solid sources using 0.1 M NaOH, under a nitrogen atmosphere, to prevent abiotic oxidation of some of the components of HS.

3. Hydrophobic soil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrophobic_soil

   Increasing the soil's pH increases the ability of naturally occurring humic substances to improve infiltration in hydrophobic soils. Humic acid is only water-soluble at a pH greater than 6.5, while fulvic acid is soluble at all pH ranges. Both resident acids have a property that enables them to reduce the surface tension of water when in solution.

4. Soil organic matter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_organic_matter

   Fulvic acid is the genus that contains the matter that has the lowest molecular weight, is soluble in acids and alkalis, and is susceptible to microbial action. Humic acid is the genus that contains the intermediate matter that has medial molecular weight, is soluble in alkalis and insoluble in acids, and has some resistance to microbial action.

5. Organic fertilizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_fertilizer

   Processed organic fertilizers include compost, liquid plant manures, humic acid, grain meal, amino acids, and seaweed extracts. Other examples are natural enzyme-digested proteins. Decomposing crop residue (green manure) from prior years is another source of fertility.

6. Humin - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humin

   Soil consists of both mineral (inorganic) and organic components. The organic components can be subdivided into fractions that are soluble, largely humic acids, and insoluble, the humins. Humins make up about 50% of the organic matter in soil. [1]

7. Potassium humate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_humate

   Potassium humate is used in agriculture as a fertilizer additive to increase the efficiency of fertilizers especially nitrogen- and phosphorus-based fertilizer inputs. Other salts of humic acid are manufactured, mainly sodium humate, which is used in animal health supplements. It also can be used in aquaculture.
