373 Symposium--Humic Products: Optimizing Agroecosytem Balance

Oral Session
Special Sessions
Sponsored by Humic Product Trade Association

Humic products are gaining broader acceptance as an environmentally friendly means for increasing fertilizer use efficiency and crop economic yield, and remediating contaminated soils.  An improved analysis for humic acid and fulvic acid contents in commercial products has been approved by U.S. state government regulators. Together with better documentation of product efficacy in field conditions, it will help make the industry more knowledge-based.

Approved for 3.5 SW CEUs
