Manfaat Asam Fulvik (Asam Fulvat)
1. 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.

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.
During reduction – species gains electrons as acceptors.
Fulvic acid actively involves in donor-acceptor charge transfer
mechanisms.

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.
It has also the ability to weather and dissolve silica into assimilable
form in soil

4. Fulvic acid enhances nutrient availability and assimilation
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.
Metalic ions with Fulvic acid Cell Membrane
Nutrients in Cytoplasm
Fulvic acid helps transport nutrients through cell wall and sensitize cell membranes
Fulvic acid enhances availability of nutrients and makes them readily absorbable.

5. Fulvic acid catalyzes enzyme reactions.
Fulvic acid increases the activity of several enzymes like transaminase and invertase.
With Fulvic acid

Amino Acids Proteins
Transminase enzymes are important in the production of various amino acids.
Building blocks of cells
More living cells means higher growth rate (Yield and quality).

Ensim Invertase bersifat digestive
Invertase
Monosaccharides
Monosaccharides tend to be absorbed and become available as an energy source more quickly

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
It changes the pattern of metabolism
of carbohydrates
A higher osmotic pressure is created inside
the cell wall because of this
Also stimulates the immune system
Hence increases the vital activity of cells
This results in accumulation of soluble
sugars
Which enable plants to withstand wilting

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.

9. Asam Fulvik mengkatalisis vitamin di dalam sel
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.

10. Asam Fulvik meng-khelat ion logam
Fulvic acid has the power to form
stable water soluble complex
structures.
With mono-valent, divalent,
trivalent and polyvalent metal
ions.
Helps the movement of metal ions
that are normally difficult to
mobilize.

11. Asam Fulvik sebagai bahan semprotan
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.

HUMATES : Large Molecules FULVATES : Medium MoleculesNot 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 fulvates – sustained release of fulvates
Instantly available and absorbed by plants – short duration effect
Bound to soil particles. Not readily leached – retain nutrition and moisture in soil with sustained benefit in the root zone
Not strongly bound to most soils. Readily leached and lost from soil – no long term conditioning effect
KEY POINTSSlow acting, effective in the soil, soil conditioner
Fast acting, effective on leaf, low effect as soil conditioner
