Introduction
In the field of agriculture and sustainable development, the search for sustainable and organic solutions to improve crop productivity and quality has led to the rise of biostimulant products. In this field, KHUMIC – specializing in the production of various types of organic fertilizers – biostimulants, has obtained the US OMRI organic certification and REACH certification, and the annual production of humic acid/fulvic acid products exceeds 200,000.00 MT. Harnessing the power of nature, the products extract weathered lignite, seaweed, and plant amino acids, 100% organic. In this article, we take an in-depth look at how KHUMIC biostimulants work and explore their importance to agriculture and plants and their applications.

Learn about biostimulants
Biostimulants are formulated differently from traditional fertilizers because they contain substances and microorganisms. Biostimulants do not deliver nutrients directly to plants. Instead, they improve the soil, stimulate natural processes within the plant, increase soil fertility, and enhance plant nutrient absorption efficiency, stress resistance, and overall growth and development.
Several types of biostimulants commonly used in the market today are:
- Acids (including organic acids such as humic and fulvic acids, and amino acids)
- Extracts (including organic extracts such as seaweed extracts, plant extracts, or vegetable oils)
- Microorganisms (including soil fungi and bacteria that help improve nutrient cycling/soil availability or help plants absorb and use nutrients)
- Others (including biochemical materials, proteins, enzymes, chemical salts, vitamins, elements, and small molecules or metabolites of organic origin)
How KHUMIC Biostimulants Work
KHUMIC Biostimulant products are a powerful organic blend derived from humus, rich in humic and fulvic acids. They stimulate soil microbial activity and act as a natural chelator when applied to the soil. On the other hand, biostimulant effects on plants trigger physiological processes that enhance photosynthesis, nutrient absorption, and stress resistance. In addition, KHUMIC’s seaweed extracts stimulate plant rooting.
Unlike fertilizers, which directly provide essential nutrients to plants, the key role of KHUMIC biostimulants is to optimize biological processes within the soil-plant system to create a harmonious environment for strong crop growth.
Role of Biostimulants in Agriculture
Enhance Soil Health
Both the humic and fulvic acids in KHUMIC biostimulants act as chelators, binding to nutrients and increasing the availability of mineral fertilizers in the soil. In addition, humic acids improve soil structure and regulate soil pH, water retention, and microbial activity. This enhances soil fertility and makes them more accessible to plants.
Promote Plant Growth
KHUMIC seaweed extracts are rich in powerful antitoxins; they stimulate root and shoot development, and cell division, and increase fruiting and flowering rates. Fulvic acid enhances the absorption and transport of nutrients within the plant, thereby enhancing plant resistance to stress improving growth and yield, and helping plants improve their resistance to disease, insects, cold, salt, and drought resulting in healthier and more resilient crops.
Increase Yield
Biostimulated organic fertilizer contains all the macro and micronutrients necessary to grow sweet, juicy, large fruits. And the application of KHUMIC amino acids has been proven to increase crop yields significantly. By increasing the absorption of nutrients by leaves and roots, providing amino acids and peptides, stimulating protein synthesis, improving plant metabolism, promoting rapid post-disaster recovery of agricultural products, flowering and fruiting, fruit enlargement, increasing yield, extending storage life, promoting sugar conversion, and improving fruit quality Sweetness.
Improved nutrient utilization
The use of biostimulants improves nutrient utilization by plants, ensuring that essential elements are effectively absorbed and utilized. Suitable for use with granular fertilizers such as urea. It has a significant effect on the release of phosphates locked in Fe3+ and Al3+ plasmas. This not only makes crops healthier but also reduces nutrient leaching and runoff, which benefits the environment and crop productivity.
Conclusion
KHUMIC Biostimulants increase nutrient flow in all trees. Citrus, apple, peach, pear, cherry, grapevine and nut trees all benefit from KHUMIC Biostimulants to photosynthesize more efficiently. Incorporating KHUMIC Biostimulants into farming practices harnesses the power of humic and fulvic acids for a natural and effective approach to improving soil health, nutrient uptake and crop performance.
