Pakistan has Predominant agrarian economic posture. God has blessed us with abundant wealth of natural resources and if utilized properly, it can enable our agriculture to produce much more food, than the present. Studies have shown that Pakistan's low rank coal have sizeable amounts of humic acid (HA), which can be utilized in agriculture as an organic manure. In the present paper, research on the potential benefits for increase agriculture production has been discussed. The study corroborated that application of HA enhanced availability of plant nutrients and concomitant increase in yield and yield components of maize crop. This mysterial material “The Cell of Creation” (Qur'-an 23-12) not only act as multi-nutrient pool, but also make the soil environment more conducive for enzymatic activities which antagonize root diseases. It can be advocated that the cumulative effect would be far better than both, direct and residual on soil physical, chemical and biological properties and thus agricultural production. Since it is used in very low concentration (0.0007-0.002%), locally available in abundance and is therefore very cheap and can play important role in the economics prosperity of Pakistan.
