Characterization of Natural Organic Matter from Various Sources

BioLiNE Corporation is a technology innovator, focused on providing advanced, science-based solutions for sustainable crop production. BioLiNE® products have consistently demonstrated superior results helping farmers grow healthier crops with higher yield and exceptional quality. One of the active ingredients in some of our products is fulvic acid, an extremely complex organic acid produced in nature through the process of humification. The humification process is quite complex and involves both biotic and abiotic processes, and as such researchers to- date are not able to synthesize fulvic acid in the lab. In this project we are attempting to study the chemical structure and composition of fulvic acid derived from different natural sources with the goal of advancing the understanding of fulvic acids.
