potassium humate

potassium humate (K-humate) is one of the major components of humic substances. Potassium humate is obtained by alkaline extraction of lignite or brown coal or leonardite and is used commercially as a soil conditioner.

Chemically, it is a super-molecular heterogeneous aromatic hydroxy carboxylic acid composed by various functional groups, taking on effects of sorption, complexation, chelation, flocculation, which dissolves loads of hydrophobic matters.

FUNCTION:

• Enhancing nutrient uptake by combining nutrients and humic aid as well as keep a well-balanced nutrition.
• Improving the structure of soil, increasing the buffering powder of soil, optimize N. P. K absorption by plants.
• Neutralizing both acid and alkaline soils, regulating the PH value of soils, with the prominent effect in alkaline and acidic soil
• Reducing nitrate leaking into the groundwater and protect the underground water
• Enhancing the resilience of crops, such as cold, drought, pest, disease and toppling resistance
• Stabilizing nitrogen and improving nitrogen efficiency (as an additive with urea)
• Promoting healthier, stronger plants and beautifying appearance
