Fulvic acid is nature’s life restorer – the electrolyte theory Fulvic acid is a natural organic electrolyte. Balance, activate and energize biological properties of organic materials. Prevents cell disintegration and death.. By restoring its normal chemical balance and electrical potential. Talk to us. It pays. Web: www.omnia.com.au 2. Promotes electrochemical balance –donor or receptor Electrochemical balance is required for health in any organic system. Fulvic acid helps in fulfiling the requirement for balance. During oxidation – species loses electrons as donors. Fulvic Acids During reduction – species gains electrons as acceptors. Fulvic acid actively involves in donoracceptor charge transfer mechanisms. Talk to us. It pays. Web: www.omnia.com.au 3. Fulvic acid dissolves minerals and trace elements Fulvic acid dissolves minerals and metals when in solution with water. Metallic minerals dissolve into the Fulvic structure. Then they becomes bio-chemically reactive and mobile. It transforms these minerals and metals into Fulvic acid complex structure. Zn Fe Mn Cu + Fulvic acid It has also the ability to weather and dissolve silica into assimilable form in soil Fulvic acid dissolves metals Talk to us. It pays. Web: www.omnia.com.au 4. Fulvic acid enhances nutrient availability and assimilation Fulvic acid enhances availability of nutrients and makes them readily absorbable. This is because of the fulvic acid electrolyte chelation. It facilitates inter-nutrient interaction and breaks them down to simplest ionic forms. The metalic organic complexes have small molcular size and can easily penetrate cells. . Fulvic acid helps transport nutrients through cell wall and sensitize cell membranes Nutrients in Cytoplasm Metalic ions with Fulvic acid Talk to us. It pays. Cell Membrane Web: www.omnia.com.au 5. Fulvic acid catalyzes enzyme reactions. With Fulvic acid Fulvic acid increases the activity of several enzymes like transaminase and invertase. Talk to us. It pays. Web: www.omnia.com.au Transminase enzymes are important in the production of various amino acids. Amino Acids Proteins Building blocks of cells More living cells means higher growth rate (Yield and quality). Talk to us. It pays. Invertase is a digestive enzyme Invertase Monosaccharides Monosaccharides tend to be absorbed and become available as an energy source more quickly Talk to us. It pays. 6. Fulvic acid stimulates metabolism It causes the genetic mechanism of plants to function at a higher level and improve growth. Oxygen is absorbed more intensely Hence increases the vital activity of cells It changes the pattern of metabolism This results in accumulation of soluble of carbohydrates sugars A higher osmotic pressure is created Which enable plants to withstand wilting inside the cell wall because of this Also stimulates the immune system Talk to us. It pays. Healthy plants Web: www.omnia.com.au 7. Fulvic acid detoxifies pollutants Fulvic acid helps the formation of new species of metallic ions. These binds with pesticides to catalyze breakdown of toxic pollutants. Talk to us. It pays. Web: www.omnia.com.au 8. Fulvic acid increases metabolism of proteins Fulvic acid intensifies metabolism of RNA and DNA. Fulvic acid increases DNA content in cells. This will positively impact cell size and disease resistance Talk to us. It pays. Web: www.omnia.com.au 9. Fulvic acid catalyzes vitamins within the cell Fulvic acid has the ability to introduce vitamins into its structure. And presented to the cell with complex mineral structures. In this condition, the vitamins can be catalyzed and utilized by the cell. Talk to us. It pays. Web: www.omnia.com.au 10. Fulvic acid chelates Mon, Di & Trivalent elements Fulvic acid has the power to form stable water soluble complex structures. With mono-valent, divalent, trivalent and Mono/ Mono/Di/ Di/Trivalent Trivalent Elements metals polyvalent metal ions. Helps the movement of metal ions that are normally difficult to mobilize. Fulvic acid molecules Talk to us. It pays. Web: www.omnia.com.au 11. Fulvic acid as spray adjuvant Fulvic acid can be used as spray adjuvant. Especially with herbicides to increase efficiency (absorption). At the same time, prevents adverse effect of herbicides on Soil micro flora and fauna. As well as potential downstream pollution. Talk to us. It pays. Web: www.omnia.com.au Differences between Fulvic and Humic acids HUMATES : Large Molecules FULVATES : Medium Molecules Not easily absorbed through leaves Readily and quickly absorbed through leaves Provide sustained food for microbes – sustained benefit in soil Quickly degraded and consumed in soil – still beneficial for microbes Break down in soil over time to form Instantly available and absorbed by fulvates – sustained release of fulvates plants – short duration effect Bound to soil particles. Not readily Not strongly bound to most soils. leached – retain nutrition and moisture Readily leached and lost from soil – no in soil with sustained benefit in the root long term conditioning effect zone KEY POINTS Slow acting, effective in the soil, soil conditioner Fast acting, effective on leaf, low effect as soil conditioner K-FULVATE 10% - Omnia’s Fulvate product. Type Content Application Rates Purpose Features Benefits Target Markets Liquid foliar product for improved uptake 10% fulvate (~2% K) Mixed in nutrient tanks and applied with nutrients. Can be used for foliar or fertigation 3-5 L/ha @ 0.5% of mix Improve nutrient uptake, reduce burn, improve tank mix compatibility Easily handled liquid, soft chelate, Improves nutrient uptake from leaves giving faster responses and reducing leaf burn from high concentration mixes. Most useful for low volume sprays and field application (drench) where soil benefits also apply. Improves soil health while improving nutrient availability in drench and fertigation applications Field Crops (Cotton, Potato, Cassava, Cane) Vegetables Low volume spray applications (Cereals)
