Humic substances

a family of organic compounds · fulvic · humic · humin

The broad family of organic compounds formed by the microbial decomposition of plant matter: fulvic acid, humic acid, and humin — distinguished mainly by molecular size and solubility.

01 · Definition

What they are

Humic substances are what remains when plant and microbial matter is broken down over long time-scales. The family has three members, separated mainly by size and solubility: fulvic acid (smallest, soluble at all pH), humic acid (larger), and humin (insoluble).
