Humic acid granules

# Humic Acid Granules (Humic Acid)

What is Humic Acid?

A natural organic material extracted from humus and decomposed plant remains over thousands of years. It is not considered a fertilizer by itself, but a **soil improver and root stimulant** that helps the plant benefit more from the fertilizer and water already present.

Benefits for the Soil

• **Improves soil structure:** binds sandy soil particles together making them more cohesive, and loosens clay soil making it more aerated.
• **Increases the soil's water retention:** reduces the amount and frequency of watering, which is very important in sandy soil and Kuwait's heat.
• **Reduces the effect of soil and water salinity:** lessens the damage of salts on the roots.
• **Adjusts soil alkalinity:** helps release elements trapped in alkaline soil, such as iron, zinc, and phosphorus.
• **Activates beneficial microorganisms** in the soil, improving its fertility over time.

Benefits for the Plant

• **Stimulates root growth** and increases the number of root hairs.
• **Increases nutrient absorption:** holds onto elements and prevents them from being washed away with irrigation water, then delivers them to the roots.
• **Reduces fertilizer waste:** the same amount of fertilizer gives better results.
• **Strengthens the plant against stress:** heat, thirst, salinity, and transplant shock.
• **Improves leaf greenness, flowering, and fruiting** as a result of better nutrition.

How to Use

• **When planting or transplanting:** mix the granules with the soil of the hole or pot before placing the plant.
• **For planted plants:** scatter the granules around the plant, a bit away from the stem, mix lightly with the top layer of soil, then water directly.
• **Frequency:** every 1 to 2 months during the growing season.

Approximate Quantities

• **Small to medium pot (20 to 30 cm):** 1 tablespoon
• **Large pot:** 2 to 3 tablespoons
• **Vegetable and flower beds:** 50 to 100 g per square meter
• **Grass (lawn):** 30 to 50 g per square meter
• **Trees and shrubs:** 100 to 250 g per tree depending on its size, distributed around the tree's canopy perimeter

*Quantities are approximate and vary according to the product's concentration, so follow what is shown on the package if available.*

Tips for Best Results

• Use it **together with fertilizer** and not instead of it, as it doubles the benefit of the fertilizer.
• Water immediately after application so the granules start dissolving and working.
• Results appear gradually over 2 to 4 weeks, and the soil improves with continued use.
• Suitable for all plants: vegetables, fruits, flowers, trees, lawn, and indoor plants.

Storage and Safety

• Store in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight, with the container well closed.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Wash your hands after use.
