    Fulvic acid is a type of natural organic acid that is soluble even at low pH levels. When applied as a foliar spray or to soil, scientific research has shown that fulvic acid can increase nutrient uptake in plants by up to 34% through chelation. It can also increase chlorophyll density, respiration rate, and drought tolerance in plants while reducing stomatal conductance. Fulvic 6000 is a widely used and recommended fulvic acid product that can provide an extra boost to plant growth and nutrient availability during critical growth stages when applied as a foliar spray.

    Introduction

    Foliar Feeding with Fulvic Acid and Fugavic Acid


    Agronomists are relying more and more on fulvic acids in their foliar applied nutrients for
    improved nutrient uptake and plant growth during critical growth stages. Scientific research
    indicates that fulvic acids help nutrient uptake of micronutrients thro ugh chelation~. Fulvic
    acids can also speed up the active uptake process for macro -nutrients by as much as 34
    percent3. Other research indicates that fulvic acid applied to the foliage increases the
    chlorophyll density and respiration rate of plants6. Plan ts that have been sprayed with fulvic
    acid have better drought tolerance and lower stomatal conductance7. Fulvic 6000 from Hi
    Tech Humax Products is the most widely used and recommended fulvic acid product on the
    market.

    What is Fulvic Acid?


    Fulvic is a kind of natural organize acid, Fulvic acid is one of many in peat and soil different
    with Humic acid, (soluble in water at pH > 10). F.A group soluble even at pH < 7, in FA
    group substance have low molecular – (it is soluble at pH < 4) called Fugavic acid (FgA),
    which used as substance in improved plant growth during citical growth stage.

    Why Apply a Foliar Fulvic?


    Research indicates that fulvic acid enhances nutrient uptake and plant growth at 10 to 300
    ppm in the soil solution, or in a foliar spray5. E arly in the season when plants are small these
    levels of humic and fulvic acids can be achieved in the soil solution. Once the plant expands
    its root system, however, maintaining such levels is not always practical. As the plant
    develops a full canopy and extensive root system, the best way to promote better growth is
    through foliar applied fulvic acids.

    Often crops need an extra boost during the weeks following early bloom when fruit begins to
    size. During these times the daily nutrient demand of a crop can outstrip the ability of the soil
    to supply nutrients. Fulvic 6000 can provide extra help to the plants by improving nutrient
    availability and uptake during such critical growth stages. It can also improve the drought
    tolerance of the plants by reducing stomatal conductance. In a recent study on wheat,
    stomatal conductance was reduced by 68% when foliar fulvic acids were applied. Yields were
    greater in the treated area by 27% when subjected to drought stress during head formation7.

    Foliar Spraying with Fulvic 6000


    Apply Fulvic 6000 at 1000ml -1500ml per hectare. We suggest a total spray volume of 100
    litres per hectare or more. Applications of over 100 litres per hectare need 2 litres per hectare.
    This will supply approximately 100 to 300 ppm of fulvic acid to the foliage. Fulvic 6000 can
    be applied by itself, or in combination with foliar nutrients. It is an excellent complement to
    nitrogen, potash, iron or zinc foliar fertilizers. It can be applied with most fungicide products
    as well.

    As with all foliar nutrients we suggest that you jar test any mixes for compatibility before
    making applications in the field. If precipitation occurs in a jar test we suggest that you
    change the amount of foliar nutrients or add a complexing agent like citric acid, ED TA,
    DTPA or potassium pyrophosphate. These complexing agents can help overcome any conflict
    between the small amount of phosphoric acid in Fulvic 6000 and mineral micronutrients.

    Please consult with your agronomist or supplier before applying Fulvic 6000 with fungicides
    or pesticides.
