Fulvic acid
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-004703
A component of humic substances, characterized by its relatively low molecular weight and high oxygen content. It is soluble in water across a wide pH range, distinguishing it from humic acid. Fulvic acids are naturally occurring organic compounds found in soils, sediments, and aquatic environments.
