Description
Humic Acid 60-70% LAB Grade | Agricultural Soil Conditioner
Premium LAB Grade Humic Acid for Agricultural and Research Applications
Humic Acid (CAS No. 68514-28-3) is an organic macromolecule extracted from natural sources such as peat, lignite, or leonardite. Offered here in LAB grade with a purity of 60–70%, it appears as a black crystalline or powdered solid and is commonly used in agriculture, horticulture, environmental science, and soil chemistry research.
Humic Acid plays a critical role in improving soil structure, increasing water retention, and enhancing the bioavailability of essential nutrients. In agriculture, it is used as a soil conditioner and biostimulant that supports root development and plant health. In laboratory environments, it is utilized for studying organic matter interactions, metal chelation, and environmental remediation processes. For comprehensive soil science information, refer to USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service and detailed agricultural research at the International Soil and Water Conservation Research.
This product is stable under proper storage conditions and has a shelf life of up to 5 years. It is typically supplied in moisture-resistant packaging to maintain quality and ease of handling. For related agricultural chemicals and soil amendments, explore our agricultural research chemicals.
