Liquid Organic Humate is 100% organic and is manufactured at the highest concentration of any liquid humic product in Australia. At 26% solids it is an exceptional product which has unique effects when applied to the soil. Manufactured in Australia for Australian conditions, this product provides a breakthrough in the methods and application of humates. Humates are natural chelating agents for metals and form strong bonds with calcium and iron. Liquid Organic Humate in the soil will gradually release present bound nutrients by chelating with calcium and iron that bind to some nutrients, thus providing a further and on going benefit to the plants. As well as feeding beneficial organisms in the soil, Liquid Organic Humate reduces the amount of water required for crop production.
Benefits of Earthcare Organic Humate
- Improves soil structure, increasing the friability of clay soils and reduces leaching in sandy soils and increases a soil’s water holding capacity.
- Improves soil cation exchange capacity, increasing a plants ability to uptake nutrient.
- Provides organic carbons and mineral substances and stimulates soil microbial activity.
- Reduces the tendency for the soil pH to change dramatically when fertilizers and other materials are applied to the soil.
