Our dry humates are typically broadcast between 150-300#/ac/yr. This rate can vary based on economic factors, soil conditions, fertility needs, and cropping history. For water soluble and powders, a typical application is about 1-2#/ac, while liquid products range from 4-8qts/ac. Overapplication is extremely difficult, but it may occur over 1000#/ac.
Humates come in various liquid and dry forms and can be applied at any stage of crop growth. You can apply them with seeds, dry or liquid fertilizers, in furrows, as foliar sprays, or alongside pesticide applications. For best results, it’s recommended to apply raw humates in the fall, allowing them time to break
Yes, adding raw humates is beneficial even if you’ve applied manure. Humates work synergistically with manures by helping to break down toxic materials, salts, and other residues, which improves nutrient availability. If you’re investing in manures, adding humates can enhance their effectiveness, potentially allowing you to reduce the amount of manure you use while
Yes, you can reduce fertilizer rates by up to 15% with the addition of raw humates. Humates with functional groups complex with both cations and anions to increase bioavailability of fertilizers. However, if applied to a hygroscopic fertilizer like urea, it would be ideal to add prilled humates (a type of processed humates with
Growers typically notice improvements after applying humates within the first cropping season. Smaller carbon forms interact with nutrients and microbes more quickly, while larger humate particles take longer to break down and become active. The higher the surface area, the greater the ability to interact. Extracted liquids or water soluble humates can react faster
Humates contain carbon chains with functional groups that release tied-up nutrients and help retain them in the soil solution by complexing with carbon. When applied to live crops, raw humates act as biostimulants, enhancing crop vigor and resistance to abiotic stresses. Humates indirectly boost microbial populations through root exudates and the breakdown of carbon
Humates dramatically reduce your dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. By improving soil health, humates can reduce application rates and enhance crop input performance. They also act as a natural carbon sink to improve carbon sequestration and reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.
Humates naturally improve the bioavailability of nutrients by increasing both the energy available and the concentration of nutrient transporters. This ensures plants receive nutrients on time for optimal growth, leading to a better quality produce. They influence plant growth hormones and provide free radicals to plant cells, which have positive effects on seed germination,
Humates work wonders in the soil. Humic and fulvic acids stimulate the fine root production of crops and enhances the release of a rich mixture of carbon-based root exudates. When these excessive fine roots die, they are consumed by microbes. This boosts beneficial microbial populations and adds carbon to the soil. By indirectly stimulating
