The Di erent Fractions:

Humic acids, fulvic acids, and humin are the pivotal
factors in good soil health, soil fertility, and plant
nutrition. Many humic manufacturers worldwide
extract humic and fulvic acid from raw humate ore
and dispose of the humin fractions. These humin
fractions (matrices) are very important components
of humic substances and, until now, the technology
has not existed to convert the humin fractions into a
soluble liquid product.

Patented Technology:

Humic Growth Solutions (HGS) is the only manufacturer
in the world to solubilize humin fractions and in a very
cost-e ective manner, thanks to innovative patented
technology. The result is a new, soluble liquid product
from HGS, commercially known as SM-10 Liquid Carbon,
which contains 10% slow release nitrogen, 13% organic
carbon and 6% humic acid.

Functional Carbons:

Based on C13 NMR and gel permeation
chromatography analyses, HGS’s SM-10 possesses
functional carbons ranging from high molecular
weights to less than 1000 Daltons. These create good
chelating, complexing, and bu ering capacities.
Most importantly, they ensure structure building in
the soil and serve as a foliar carrier for e cient
nutrient translocation.

Key Components in Soil Fertility:

In nature, the most vital functions of humin are to improve soil structure, to promote water
holding capacity for maintaining soil stability, and to enhance the cation exchange system.
According to many soil scientists, the humin fractions are the key components in soil
fertility. It is necessary to have a good and friable soil structure. One can say this is
analogous to the foundation of a good home.

Humin’s Hidden Matrices:

According to research, the best components of humic substances are in humin’s hidden
matrices. They contain biomarkers, biopolymers, pyrolysate of isoprenoids, along with
steroid and hopanoid alkanes in the humin matrix. Our eld research has demonstrated
good yield and quality in potatoes, corn, alfalfa, and small grain.

All Things Considered for Soil
and Plant Health

SM-10 o ers a multitude of
physical, chemical, and biological bene ts:

It enhances the aggregate stability of soil, which e ects soil structure,
porosity, CEC, and water-holding capacities.
it stabilizes soil micropores in which roots, nutrients, and water reside.
It in uences soil solution chemistry, enhancing e ective nutrient
translocation, along with chelating, complexing and bu ering capacities.
it helps compacted soils to become more friable and healthier.
It complexes salts and creates proper physical conditions.
it is an excellent source for bioremediation.
It bu ers soil Ph by freeing carbon dioxide.
It promotes the relative stabilization of soil temperature and water
evaporation rates.
It enhances plant growth, yield and quality, by use of organically
complexed [N], in conjunction with other metabolic activities.
It covers missing links in soil matrixes for long-term sustainability, which,
until now has not been commercially available for growers and the soil
reclamation industry.
