Fulmax®
Concentrated Fulvic Acid
FULMAX is a dark
yellow to brown solution extracted from natural deposits of organic matter
called Leonardite. Through an efficient extraction procedure we liquefy
the leonardite. The specific steps are taken to separate the fulvic acid
from the humic acid. Next we carefully concentrate the fluid formulation
of fulvic acid into Fulmax.
Fulvic acid has
a very high cation exchange capacity which is beneficial for plant nutrition.
The chemical structure of fulvic acid shows various oxygen containing functional
groups; COOH, phenolic OH, and C=O. These oxygen containing groups will
exchange the H+ cations for other cations; for example;
Zn2+, Fe2+, Mn2+
and Cu2+ cations. The occurrence of the charged sites
accounts for the ability of fulvic acid to retain nutrient cations in an
available and nonleachable form.
Fulmax enhances
cell permeability for a more rapid entry of minerals into the root cells,
resulting in higher uptake of plant nutrients.
The most pronounced
effect of Fulmax is obtained using a combination of early season soil treatment
combined with postemergence foliar sprays.
Typical application
rates range from 1-2 pints per acre diluted in at least 10 gallons of water
for foliar sprays.
Soil application
rates range from 1-2 quarts per acre and can be applied through drip, microsprinklers
and most other irrigation methods.
Avoid mixing with
strong alkaline solutions. Use caution when applying with pesticides as
Fulmax may increase the uptake of these solutions as well.
