Europonic FossilFuel consists
of the highest quality humic acids, providing great biological, chemical,
and growing medium benefits. The humic acids in FossilFuel are derived
from Leonardite, organic matter that is the result of a 70 million
year humification process. Leonardite is the best source for Humic
and Fulvic acid because its biological activity is much greater than
other sources of humic acids. 
Biologically, humic acids:
Increase production of plant enzymes
Act as an organic catalyst in biological processes
Stimulate production micro-organisms
Enhance natural resistance against plant diseases and pests
Aid in uptake of nutrients through improved permeability of plant cells
Provide building blocks for sugars, amino acids, and chlorophyll
Stimulate plant growth by increasing cell division
Improve yield by decreasing plant stress
Chemically, humic acids:
Help retain water soluble nutrients in the root zone
Optimize the uptake of nutrients and water
Reduce the reaction of phosphorous with Ca, Fe, Mg
Have high ion exchange capacity
Humic Acid and Growing Mediums
In a light, sandy substrate, water goes through the medium, carrying nutrients away from the plant. Heat and air are reflected away from the plant.
In a heavy loamy substrate, water, heat and air are kept from reaching the roots of the plant. Root development and plant growth are inhibited.
Substrates conditioned with humic acid acids allow water, air and heat to reach the roots of your plants. Nutrient uptake is greatly increased. Beneficial flora also increase as a result of humic acid use.
More on humic acids
When organic matter (plant and animal materials) decomposes, micro-organisms transform it into what is called humic matter (humus). Humic acid is a long chain molecule which is high in molecular weight, dark brown, and is soluble in an alkaline solution.
