Humates

Humic Acid (Ha), Fulvic Acid (Fa), Humin and other substances are collectively referred to as Humates.

These compounds are derived from the degradation of organic mater to its smallest possible size and are extremely complex molecules that have formed naturally over time by soil microorganisms as they recycle the nutrients and organic matter present in decaying plant material.

In healthy, pristine soils, humates are constantly formed by the life and death cycles of plant roots, microorganisms, and fungi in the soil but modern agricultural practices have disrupted this cycle. So, in order to maintain good soil health, it is now necessary to add this critical component back into the soil, so that we can reap the benefits of working with instead of against nature.

Humates are made up of Humic and Fulvic acids that are readily extracted from Peats or Lignite sources and the humic and fulvic acid molecules stabilise the chemical fertilisers in the soil, decreasing the typical 50-80% loss that occurs with these inputs in most situations.

This is an obvious benefit in reducing your fertiliser costs requirements and the environment!

The Humin that is seperated from the HA's and FA.s can be used as a source of Soil Organic Carbon for manufacture of Organic Fertilisers.

Humates are beneficial for Agriculture, Drilling, Animal Feedstock Supplement and Human Consumption
