Improved Nutrient Uptake (Back to Solutions page)

Although many of the necessary plant nutrients are found naturally in most soils, many nutrients are commonly in forms that are not readily available for plant usage. Because of this we must often apply larger amounts of fertilizer than would be necessary if a soil has an active microbial population and an adequate level of Soil Humus.

Often, because of problems in the soil, our crops aren’t able to take full advantage of the fertilizers we provide them with. Many of these necessary nutrients may be lost to leaching or erosion. Additionally a large amount of nutrients undergo chemical alterations over time that cause them to become unavailable.

This causes the plants to be stressed and affects their ability to produce healthy crops even though soil analysis might show the soil contains the large quantities of all necessary nutrients.

At Natural Ag Solutions, our products help to reduce fertilizer loss. Increased amounts of balanced nutrients are generally found in plants when the soils have been treated with our products. This translates into more profit to the farmer through higher yields, higher quality, and lower fertilizer costs.

Additionally, because of the increased nutrient availability, the plants often require much less water to pull up the needed nutrients. Therefore, they only use the amount of water that they actually need.

Humic Acid is a sequestering compound and as such, it is able to break the bond of sodium and magnesium with clay particles in heavy soils. Thus it reduces the tightness and compaction of the soil, enabling it to be more easily tilled.

The resultant open friable soil sustains better water movement through it and increases the aeration of the soil. This produces better root structure in plants, which in turn are more capable of resisting drought.
