Researchers have uncovered surprising links between natural humification processes in soil, carbon metabolism, and the spread of antibiotic resistance. The findings provide fresh insight into how ...

With increasing pressure to efficiently produce more food, fiber and fuel to meet world demands, a number of soil and plant amendment products have emerged. These amendments are under the umbrella of ...

UVALDE – A recent study by Texas A&M AgriLife Research scientists at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Uvalde shows applying a soil amendment containing humic substances can ...

Humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) extracted from fourteen surface soil samples (0-20 cms) belonging to nine major Soil Association Groups scattered over different agro-climatic situations, were ...

A Brazilian scientist who pushed back against chemical fertilizers and researched biologically based approaches to more robust food production has been honored with this year's World Food Prize, the ...

An acid found in rich humus soil breaks down the misfolded brain proteins — called prions — that cause chronic wasting disease. When concentrations of humic acid similar to those found in soils were ...

Soil fertility is the ability of soil to sustain plant growth and optimize crop yield. This can be enhanced through organic and inorganic fertilizers to the soil. Nuclear techniques provide data that ...

Russell Taylor of Live Earth explains how humates improve soil health, water efficiency, and nutrient use as California farming heads toward ...
