Humic Plus promotes plant health and growth.

Plant bio-stimulants and humic acids are materials that promote plant growth. The importance of bio-stimulants lies in their ability to promote hormonal activity in plants. Plant hormones are chemical communicators, or agents, which help regulate a plant’s development and its response to its surrounding environment. Bio-stimulants also promote antioxidant production in plants which, in turn, reduces free radicals. Free radical molecules result from stress such as drought, heat, ultraviolet light and herbicide use. Free radicals are damaging because they are strong oxidizing agents which damage lipids, proteins and DNA within plant cells. Antioxidants are metabolites and enzymes which seek out free radical molecules and protect plants from damage. They include liquid soluble substances like vitamin “E” and beta-carotene and water soluble materials such as vitamin C and various enzymes.
