They are part of the natural process in the soil. By adding humic and fulvic products as well soil health practices a guy can greatly reduce inputs, potentially reduce diseases and pest pressure. It's a tool, use it as it's ment to

That’s the problem when people chase yield instead of function. Humics and fulvics aren’t yield enhancers, there soil conditioners and biological. They're meant to unlock tied up nutrients, buffer salts, and feed microbes, not spike your yield chart in one season.

Of course if you slam on 3 gallons of low quality humic with salt heavy fertilizer, you can torch roots or disrupt nutrient balance. It’s not magic juice, it’s a tool and like any tool, it needs to be used with intention.

That study basically proves the point: if you're using humics expecting yield gain, you’re doing it wrong. So I take back my statement in the first post.

Any retailer telling anyone to drop in humic and get X yield response should not be selling soil products.

Do a study of applying DAP fertilizer. Pretty sure the crop response would be extremely hit and miss. But that doesn't pay the universities bills...
