Treating leonardite with gluconic acid allows for:
– Protecting the finished products through humic acids which flow onto the products and maintain their biological properties;
– Protecting macro and micro-elements;

Better nutrition of plants, improved development and resistance to parasites.

HUMIC SUBSTANCES
Humic substances are supramolecular compounds of organic, heterogeneous molecules, mainly of hydrophobic nature, with relatively small molecular mass (weak and non-covalent interactions whose size is only apparently big).
The hydrophobic part fosters the environmental resistance.

THE MAIN CHEMICAL COMPONENTS ARE:

• Phenolic compounds
• Benzoic acids
• Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids of various length

In Glucohumates, the low-molecular-weight, aromatic, oxidised components (the more active components for physiological stimulation) are perfectly protected (phenols and lignin residues, benzoic acids, oxidised alkyl and carboxilate groups, fatty acids).
In Glucohumates, the conformational associations of supramolecular compounds of humic substances are reduced for readily available yields.
The conformational association which is guaranteed by Glucohumates plays a decisive role in plant metabolism.
Their solubility quickens the transfer to the roots and fosters the actions.

ACTIVITIES OF THE HUMIC SUBSTANCES IN THE GLUCOHUMATES

• Ability to solubilise metallic ions such as Fe, Zn, Mg, Cu, and make them bio-available. The solubilising effect depends on the carboxylic and phenol acidity: LAND with pH from 5.5 to 7.5
• The low-molecular-weight component of humic substances is directly assimilated by the plants and makes them actively change their metabolism.
• This affects cellular membranes and improves nutrient assimilation.
• They have the same impact as other aromatic hormones such as the auxins, and contribute to the plant growth and development.

SECRET FORMULATIONS

• Organic, entirely stabilised, non-fermentable, filtering substance
• Higher bioavailability of nutrients in association with Glucohumates – SLOW RELEASE
• High resistance to leaching and longer availability
• Highest nutritional and protective efficiency in any condition and on any land
