3. BENEFITS
- Potassium humate Builds a stronger root system by increasing root respiration and root formation.
- Increases the Cation Exchange Capacity of the soil and facilitates nutrient absorption
- Potassium humate Great source of energy for beneficial soil organisms, which influence both soil fertility and plant health.
- Improves aeration of soil and water retention in heavy and compact soils.
- Potassium Humate Prevents water and nutrient losses in light sandy soils.
- Healthier roots hold soil, minimizing erosions
- When potassium humate added directly to soil it improves its quality and ability to grow crops
- When added to urea, fertilizer, and lime it improves their performance
- When added to seeds it improves their strike rate and encourages root growth
- Application of potassium humate in vegetables: mainly to prevent heavy pollution of vegetable soil, a serious infection of bacteria; can effectively destroy the growth of soil bacteria; enhance the structure of soil aggregates, effectively promote the rooting of crops, create new roots, promote root development, improve The disease resistance of plants stimulates the growth of vegetables, enhances the photosynthesis of crops, makes vegetables grow vigorously, increases the yield per unit area, and increases the income of vegetable farmers.
4. HOW TO USE
- Base Fertilizer: 5-10kgs/ ha, suggested mix with N, P fertilizers.Mixed with Nitrogen fertilizer: 5% of total blend ie. 5kgs of potassium humate per 100kgs of Urea.
- Also, it depends on the soil condition.
- Soil Irrigation:5-8kgs/ha/time
5. PRECAUTION
- Before transferring to a drip irrigation tank we suggest dissolving potassium humate in a small tank and filtering.
6. PACKAGE
