Humic substances act as natural chelating agents, binding to essential nutrients and making them more available to plants. They also increase the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil, improving nutrient retention and reducing leaching. This enhanced nutrient availability can contribute to a reduction in the need for nitrogen fertilizers, which can have significant economic and environmental benefits.Studies have shown that humic substances can improve fertilizer efficiency and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers by up to 30%, leading to substantial cost savings for farmers while minimizing environmental impact.
