Potassium humate is an organic-based soil conditioner that feed the microbes in the soil.  It contains highly active humic accod and fulvic acid and is compatible with most other fertilisers.

Soluble Humate Formulation

Some of you might have tried humate and fulvates in the past and found they are difficult to dissolve and block spray nozzles.  Not anymore.  Check out the photo below.

How Does it Work?

Humic acid and Fulvic acid are crucial in dissolving minerals and trace elements.  Adding fulvic acid acts as the super-highway for nutrients to plant cells.  As the quality of the soil improves the need for traditional fertiliser decreases.  

Humate-rich soils act as carbon sinks to help keep CO2 in the ground instead of escaping into the atmosphere.  Humates have been around for thousands of years and are known to increase yields, reduce nitrate leeching and basically increase fertiliser effectiveness, which, over a period of time, lowers the amount of fertiliser needed in the soil.
