Humic acid, to activate soil microorganisms and to improve soil physical properties. Organic wetting agents, to reduce water surface tension and improve soil moisture. Cytokinins, an organic growth hormone, to stimulate and accelerate root growth. Flocculation opens up the soil for greater movement of air and water. Organic surfactant weakens the ionic bonding of soil particles and converts the calcium carbonates and chlorides present in alkaline soils into elemental calcium and carbon dioxide.
Organic enzymes increase the cation exchange capacity of the soil by releasing hydrogen radicals.
A high cation exchange capacity is essential to a loose soil with a good capillary moisture environment. Organic bacterial activators increase plant uptake of fertilizers and nutrients. Cytokinins, a growth hormone, stimulates and accelerates root growth. An improved percolation rate of the soil diminishes erosion and water loss through runoff. Sarsaponin, a desert plant extract, reduces stress in hot, dry conditions.
