Fulvic Acid | Liquid Biostimulant | Bulk 1000L IBC | Chelates nutrients for better uptake in crops and turf
MADE TO ORDER
Description
High-Performance Chelator & Nutrient Efficiency Enhancer for Professional Use
Liquid Fulvic Acid is a highly active organic chelating agent designed for commercial horticulture, turf management, broadacre farming, and hydroponic operations. This concentrated fulvic formulation improves nutrient uptake, enhances soil biology, and increases the efficiency of liquid and granular fertiliser programs. Trusted by agronomists and large-scale growers across Australia, it delivers consistent performance in variable soils, climates, and cropping systems.
Ideal for year-round use in soil conditioning programs, pre-plant and in-season nutrition, foliar spray enhancement, fertigation and irrigation systems, liquid urea or trace element blends, and soil remediation work. Always conduct a small compatibility test before blending with new products.
Nutrient Profile:
Key Active Component: Fulvic acid (low molecular weight organic acid derived from humic substances)
Why commercial growers choose Fulvic Acid
- Enhanced nutrient absorption: Improves the mobility and plant availability of macro and micronutrients, supporting faster uptake and more efficient fertiliser utilisation
- Chelates soil minerals: Breaks down and solubilises bound nutrients, improving access in low-organic-carbon soils, compacted areas, and alkaline or acidic profiles.
- Improves fertiliser programs: Increases the performance of foliar fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides by enhancing leaf penetration and systemic movement.
- Supports root development: Stimulates early root growth, improves root architecture, and assists plants in accessing deeper soil moisture and nutrients.
- Increases soil microbial activity: Feeds beneficial microbes involved in nutrient cycling and organic matter breakdown.
- Moisture management: Improves water retention and soil structure, supporting performance during dry periods.
- Detoxification & soil remediation: Binds to heavy metals, pesticide residues, and chemical contaminants, reducing their impact on soil health and crop performance.
- Nitrogen efficiency: Helps stabilise urea and other nitrogen sources, improving longevity and reducing volatilisation losses.
Fulvic acid is the key to unlocking soil nutrients and promoting plant vitality. Perfect for commercial growers, incorporating this powerful natural chelator into your fertiliser program helps ensure your plants get the nutrition they need to thrive, healthier roots, stronger growth, and improved resilience to stress.

How it Works

Fulvic acid is a naturally occurring organic acid formed from the decomposition of plant and microbial matter. Its unique small molecular structure allows it to:
- Act as a powerful chelating agent, dissolving minerals and trace elements so plants can readily absorb them
- Rapidly enter plant membranes (often within 4 hours), delivering nutrients efficiently
- Enhance photosynthesis by increasing stomatal opening, especially helpful in cloudy or low-light conditions
- Promote beneficial soil microbial activity, improving nutrient cycling and soil health
- Detoxify soils by binding to pollutants like pesticides, herbicides, and heavy metals, reducing their toxicity
- Stabilise urea and other nitrogen fertilisers when applied to soil, reducing nutrient losses
- Stimulate root growth, cell elongation, and division, contributing to stronger, healthier plants
Often called the ‘missing link’ in plant nutrition, fulvic acid supports soil and plant systems in ways that other fertilisers cannot.

FAQ
What is Liquid Fulvic Acid?
This is a highly bioactive carbon source used across commercial turf, horticulture, and agriculture. It enhances nutrient uptake, supports soil microbial activity, and improves plant resilience under varying conditions.
What are the advantages of using fulvic acid in liquid form?
Liquid fulvic acid offers rapid biological activity and excellent ease of use. It chelates nutrients, improves root development, and increases microbial activity, making it ideal for fertigation, foliar applications, and large-scale nutrient programs.
Can Liquid Fulvic Acid be mixed with other commercial inputs?
Yes. It is widely compatible with most fertilisers, stimulants, and crop protection products. It also improves tank-mix performance by enhancing nutrient mobility. Always perform a jar test before large-volume mixing.
How often should this product be applied in professional programs?
It can be applied throughout the growing season. Frequency will vary depending on crop type, soil condition, and program goals. Refer to your agronomy plan or distributor guidelines for best practice.
Is this product suitable for organic or low-input production systems?
Yes. Liquid fulvic acid is naturally derived and fits seamlessly into sustainable, regenerative, and low-input management programs.
Is fulvic acid safe and effective for all plant types?
Absolutely. It is suitable for all turf varieties, crops, ornamentals, natives, nursery plants, and broadacre applications.
How does fulvic acid compare to humic acid in commercial use?
Fulvic acid has a smaller molecular structure, enabling it to move inside plant cells and improve nutrient uptake. Humic acid focuses on soil structure and nutrient retention. Using both together provides a comprehensive carbon and biological program.
Does fulvic acid assist during drought, heat, or stress conditions?
Yes. It helps improve water efficiency, nutrient mobility, and stress recovery. It is commonly used in drought strategies, high-stress turf environments, and transplant programs.
Can Liquid Fulvic Acid improve commercial turf performance?
Yes. It supports stronger colour, increased density, improved nutrient efficiency, and enhanced soil biology, making it ideal for sports turf, local councils, turf farms, and broadscale landscape management.

First time owning lawn. Gave the team at plant doctor a ring and they supplied me with a wealth of information. Products turned up quickly.
Billy Green
Will definitely be getting more 8 weeks difference been using stimulizer, activ8mate, soil wetter, seaweed secrets and champion fertiliser. Was super fast delivery.
Michael Preddy
Only have great things to say about Plant Doctor. Organic products and a competitive price, fast shipping and easy to contact with questions. Have had great results with the special mix for lawns, and my plants (indoor and outdoor) love the seaweed secrets. I am excited to test out some of the animal products soon!
