Discovering The Techniques For Obtaining Humic Acid and Its Power on Plants and Soil Health: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Concern about the spread of diseases associated with the use of chemicals and hormones in food production has accelerated the shift in developed countries toward agriculture using humic acid. This orientation stems from the desire to achieve economic stability and improve public health. Humic acid agriculture, which avoids the use of chemical fertilizers, is considered a safer and more sustainable alternative. These countries aim to reduce the health risks associated with exposure to chemicals, while supporting environmental sustainability at the same time. This article discusses the global need for sustainable agricultural practices that enhance productivity and the production of environmentally friendly materials. It aims to provide technologies that improve agricultural production per unit area and ensure a healthy ecosystem for humans, plants and animals. This article focuses on humic acid, It is an important organic substance that enhances plant growth and productivity. Humic acid plays a pivotal role in soil, converting fertilizers into nutrients that are easier for plants to access. This acid is characterized by its diverse applications, including adsorption and inhibition processes for some microorganisms present in the soil, and it is very effective in enhancing soil fertility.
