Soluble humate granules have increased the versatility of humic acid.

Soluble humic acid in a versatile, user-friendly 2 to 5 mm crystal granule.

Dark brown, 2-5 mm granules containing soluble potassium humates. This product is 85% soluble and comprises 70% humic acid and 10% potassium. The granules are ideally suited for addition with granular fertilisers, but they can also be readily dissolved without the dust factor associated with humate powders. The humic acid component includes a minimum of 16% fulvic and ulmic acid.

Soluble humate granules can be added to urea, DAP/MAP etc at a rate of 5% to stabilise and magnify these fertilisers.

The rapid solubility of these granules facilitates a successful fusion with soluble fertilisers which is particularly important for reducing the lockup rate of soluble phosphate sources, stabilising urea, chelating and complexing elements and buffering high sodium and heavy metals.

• Humic acid is a powerful fungi stimulant. Beneficial fungi are the missing link in many soils.
• Stabilises nitrogen and improves nitrogen efficiency (ideal as an additive with urea).
• Complexes phosphate to reduce lockups (ideal as an additive with DAP/MAP, etc)
• Natural chelating and complexing agent to help magnify nutrient absorption
• Increases the permeability of cells to increase nutrient uptake by up to 40%
• Contains an auxin-like growth stimulant that can enhance cell division and elongation
• Can buffer the effects of excessive elements (particularly sodium), toxic chemicals and heavy metals
• pH buffering-capacity to help neutralise the problems associated with pH extremes
• Features a CEC of 450 which aids in moisture and nutrient retention.
• Promotes seed germination in a shorter-time
• Has a nature which assists in soil wetting
• Promotes soil structure improvement by stimulating fungi to create a crumb structure for better water and oxygen intake and improved root penetration.
• Non-toxic - microbe-friendly
• BFA certified organic

Packaging:

• 25kg, 1 tonne pallets of 25kg bags

Application Rates:

Planting Blend:

• Broadacre - 2 kg per hectare (which is the equivalent to 10 litres of Huma-Tech Liquid Humus) combined with planting blend General purpose - 5% of total blend, ie, 5 kg of Soluble Humate Granules with every 100 kg of DAP, MAP, urea etc.

Seed Treatment:

• 1 - 2 kg per tonne or 100 gm per hectare

Information:

• Microbes need a carbon source to digest nitrogen. Humates supply carbon and thus limit carbon-stripping from the soil.
• Can be used to detoxify chemicals or heavy metals.
• These granules magnify and stabilise most soluble fertilisers.
• Huma-Tech Soluble Humate Granules can be solubilised to create a DIY liquid humic acid. However, there are several incompatibility issues when combining liquid fertilisers with liquid humic acid. The liquid is incompatible with liquid calcium nitrate, phosphate fertilisers and sulfate-based trace elements.
• Staining may occur on fruit or foliage therefore it may be necessary to avoid spraying just prior to harvest. May be unsuitable for cut flowers.

DIY Liquid Humus Recipe:

• 1 kg Soluble Humate Granules per 5 litres water.
• 10% of the humates are insoluble, which will require decanting or filtering using a bag (much like using a tea bag). Heat and good agitation can help solubilise the granules.
