Humates

EF SOLUBLE HUMATE GRANULES

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Dark brown, 2 to 5 ml granules containing soluble potassium humates. This product is 90% 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 of EFs Soluble Humates Granules includes a minimum of 16% fulvic acid.

BENEFITS:
The rapid solubility of these granules facilitates a successful fusion with soluble fertilisers, i.e. the fertiliser-enhancing effect is mot pronounced if the granules dissolve at the same rate. Fertiliser gains include:

 The stablilisation of phosphate – i.e. unlocking existing, tied-up reserves and reducing the lock-up rate of applied phosphate.
 Long-life nitrogen – Urea, for example, will perform for 60 to 80 days longer.
 Chelation and complexing of applied fertiliser.
 Increased permeability of plant membranes – facilitating increased nutrient uptake via the roots and foliage.
 The removal of heavy metals from fertilisers.

OTHER BENEFITS INCLUDE:

 Increased CEC (soil storage capacity), for better retention of both water and nutrients.
 Protection from high sodium and pH-fluctuations - humic acid is a natural buffering agent
 Natural chelating capacity – Nutri-Hume increases the plant-availability of al elements – highly effective in both the soil and in foliar preparations.
 Improved soil structure and increased friability.
 Increased permeability of plant membranes, promoting the uptake of nutrients.
 Improved enzyme production – Plant enzymes are stimulated to produce more rapid growth.
 Improved seed germination rate and germination time.
 Increased aeration – Root development is improved accordingly.


APPLLICATION RATES
Seed treatment: 1 kg to 2 kg per tonne of seed (100 g per hectare).
Planting Blend: 5% of total blend.
Fertigation: 1-5kg per ha as a stand-alone or 1 kg per 20 kg of soluble fertiliser.
Foliar: 200 to 500 g per 100 litres, depending on water rate.

GENERAL COMMENTS

Solubilised Humate Granules are not compatible with calcium nitrate, some sulfate-based trace elements and some soluble, phosphate-based fertilisers, but there are no compatibility problems when mixing dry products.
