What you will find on this site. Welcome! Here you will find up to date information dealing with Agricultural Humics which will enable you to make your business more efficient and profitable AND do less harm to the environment. You may find some of the information on these pages revolutionary. It is. This is more than just the latest fad in new products. This is a new way of looking at how crops grow, how they obtain nourishment, and what they do with it. What you won't find on this site You won't find hype, inflated claims, and information presented just because someone thinks you want to hear it. What MPXA® is and what it will do for you. MPXA® HumicBased agricultural products contain humic acids. Extensive research has shown that humic acid stimulates oxygen uptake and increases chlorophyll content. Humic acid occurs to some extent in the soil as an end product of decomposed organic matter. These acids play a very important role in the movement of macro- and micronutrients within the plant and their availability to the plant. The availability of these nutrients are essential for maximizing crop performance. Because of its strong chelating ability, MPXA® is able to bond otherwise unavailable micronutrients from their salt forms and make them available to plant roots. The ability to separate and release essential nutrients and immediately chelate them makes MPXA® an exceptional substitute for the more expensive EDTA solutions, producing 99+% chelated cation bulk mixes at a fraction of the cost. The addition of humic acids to your fertility program will have a beneficial effect on microbial populations by providing the essential carbon source. Stimulated, active microbial populations have a direct effect on production, disease suppression and nutrient recycling. Product overview and general description. Modern agriculture is its own worst enemy. The most important soil component for growth, as well as the most difficult for nature to build, is humic acid. This is also the most fragile, and therefore the easiest to destroy through the use of modern agricultural methods. Under natural conditions, as in areas that have not been disturbed by tillage or deforestation, a balance exists between the amount of humus which progresses to the early stages of coal formation (peat) and the amount added by the decay of plant and animal waste. When agriculture is practiced or where the equilibrium of natural processes is upset either by humans or natural occurrences such as fire, the balance is lost and a reduction in organic content of soil occurs until a new equilibrium is attained. In the case of continued or prolonged agricultural activity this organic layer is quickly depleted by cultivation, wherein the humic material is exposed by constant turning of the soil and the wind is allowed to carry off the fine layer of humic as a dried dust. Additionally the long succession of crops now found in modern farming not only depletes the humus but prevents a new equilibrium from forming due to the frequency of crop rotation and replanting. The reintroduction of humus into soil improves fertility while decreasing the farmer's dependence on the multitude of inorganic chemicals now being used to make up for depleted or nonproductive soil. F.A.R.M. Co.'s proprietary product, MPXA® , is a combination of naturally occurring ingredients which make up soil humus. The use of MPXA® will replace humics and restore soil quality thus increasing crop production without further soil deterioration. MPXA® contains Humic acids; it is not considered a plant food product, but rather a soil amendment. MPXA® increases the availability of fertilizers and micronutrients - thus decreasing total amounts used - to the young and mature plants alike by increasing efficiency through chelation (chelation makes micronutrients more available to the plant by sequestering these nutrients). |
