Plant bio-stimulants are materials that promote plant growth. The importance of bio-stimulants lies in their ability to promote hormonal activity in plants. Plant hormones are chemical communicators, or agents, which help regulate a plant’s development and its response to its surrounding environment.  Bio-stimulants also promote antioxidant production in plants which, in turn, reduces “free radicals”. Free radical molecules result from stress such as drought, heat, ultraviolet light and herbicide use.  Free radicals are damaging because they are strong oxidizing agents which damage lipids, proteins and DNA within plant cells. Antioxidants are metabolites and enzymes which seek out free radical molecules and protect plants from damage. They include lipid soluble substances like vitamin "E" and beta-carotene and water soluble materials such as vitamin C and various enzymes.

Humic Plus is formulated with high grade humic acids that promote plant health and growth. The importance of humic acids lies in their ability to promote hormonal activity in plants. Plant hormones are chemical communicators, or agents, which help regulate a plant’s development and its response to its surrounding environment.

Humic Plus contains humic acid, fulvic acid, macro micro nutrients and proprietary constituents essential for plant growth. In high pH soils, where  phosphate availability is a problem, Humic Plus  greatly increase the availability of phosphorous, iron, zinc and manganese. In addition, Humic Plus can complex nitrogen as ammonium and retain it in the root zone preventing nitrification and leaching out of the root zone. Humic Plus can be foliar applied with the aid of a conventional sprayer and soil applied with the aid a liquid kit, irrigation or fertigation apparatus

Humic Plus aids in degrading harsh chemicals in an environmentally safe manner.

HUMIC PLUS IS -
An effective soil enhancer
A plant growth bio-stimulant
A chelating agent and a disease suppressant
High in both humic and fulvic acids, auxins, minerals, vitamins, etc.

In addition, Humic Plus is highly beneficial to both plants and soil. In soil it can;
increases microbial and mycorrizal activity
promote nutrient uptake
accelerate seed germination
increase crop yields
aid in reducing frost damage. Humic-Plus can be foliar and soil applied.
reduce fertilizer requirements and increase yields in most crops.

----- Original Message ----- From: KevinMontague To: EcoChem Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2008 6:05 PM Subject: Re: EcoChem Secure Online Order Hi Judy, Thanks for the quick reply.  Just so you know, I use the Humic Acid Plus on my gardens.  Ever since I started treating the property with the Humic Acid, you should see how healthy many of my plants now look, not to mention my aloe vera plants which were once very sick.  You offer a great product for the money.  My plants always smile when the EcoChem Humic Acid bottle comes out of the garden shed when my cousin whose been my caregiver over the years goes to water the gardens.  The trace mineral content not only stopped the disease process of two plants, which were always sick on my property, but cut back on the fungal growth on other bushes, as their immunity was greatly boosted using your product.  Thanks again for such a lovely product. I'm looking forward to delivery of on the current order.   Thoughtfully Kevin F. Montague (Original doc on file)
