Huma-Tech Granular Humic Acid ™

A South Australian potato crop grown with Huma-Tech humates including humic and fulvic acids.

  

A processed concentrate containing 70% humic acid in slow-release, .granulated form.

This is Huma-Tech Humic Acid Powder delivered in convenient 2 - 4 mm granules, containing a minimum 70% humic acid.

Benefits:

  • Offers all of the numerous benefits of humic acid (already covered wit[ other products) in a slow-release form.
  • Slow-release humic acid can help to stabilise inputs throughout the crop cycle.
  • This product still retains the high levels of broad-spectrum minerals that were part of the ancient plants from which it was derived.
  • BFA certified organic.
  • Can be applied directly to the soil at any time to help buffer excesses o toxins or to stimulate soil life (fungi).

Yield-Building Tips with Humates

  • Supply a carbon source with all nitrogen sources to avoid humus depletion. Humates are the best option here, as they have the highest organic carbon levels of any material.
  • Combine fulvic acid (Fulvic 1400) with all foliar inputs, as it will magnify their effect.
  • Include Soluble Humate Granules with all granulated phosphate fertilisers. The humic acid will complex the phosphate to form a stable phosphate humate. This may be the first time you'll experience full-season phosphate availability.
  • Urea and humic acid are perfect partners. Trial a urea-treated are with and without the humic acid additive - you may soon become a convert!
  • Most conventional farm soils are seriously lacking fungi, which play an important role in fertility and disease prevention. Regular applications of humic acid (Huma-Tech Liquid Humus) will feed your existing fungi and help to overcome the fungi/bacteria imbalance.
