Potassium Humate

Potassium Humate is the potassium salt of humic acid, derived from leonardite or lignite. It is a highly effective organic fertilizer and soil conditioner used in agriculture to enhance soil fertility, stimulate plant growth, and increase nutrient uptake. Potassium Humate improves the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil, making it more fertile and supportive of crop productivity. It is available in various forms, such as flakes, powder, or liquid.

• Chemical Formula: C9H8K2O4 (approximate, varies with source material)

• Molecular Weight: Varies (humic acids are complex mixtures)

• Appearance: Black or dark brown flakes/powder or liquid

• Solubility: Completely soluble in water (in potassium humate form)

• pH Level: 9–11 (alkaline)

• Humic Acid Content: 60% – 80% (depending on grade)

• CAS Number: 68514-28-3

• Improves Soil Structure: Enhances aeration, water retention, and microbial activity in the soil, creating a healthy environment for plant roots.

• Boosts Nutrient Uptake: Increases the efficiency of fertilizer use by chelating nutrients and making them more bioavailable to plants.

• Stimulates Root Development: Encourages robust root systems, which are essential for nutrient and water absorption.

• Enhances Plant Growth: Promotes seed germination and accelerates plant growth through better nutrient assimilation.

• Increases Stress Tolerance: Helps plants cope with environmental stress such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures.

• Supports Organic Farming: As a natural and eco-friendly input, Potassium Humate is suitable for sustainable and organic agriculture.

• Improves Crop Yield and Quality: Leads to healthier crops, improved produce quality, and higher overall yields.

• Soil Application: Can be mixed with soil, compost, or fertilizers to improve soil fertility.

• Foliar Spray: Used as a foliar spray to provide immediate nutrient availability and enhance photosynthesis.

• Drip Irrigation: Applied through irrigation systems for uniform distribution and maximum absorption.

• Seed Treatment: Used to coat seeds before sowing to improve germination and early seedling vigor.

• Soil Application: At the beginning of the planting season and as needed during crop growth stages.

• Foliar Application: Every 15–20 days during active plant growth stages.

• Drip Irrigation: Can be applied at regular irrigation intervals throughout the growing cycle.

• Seed Treatment: Once prior to sowing.

• Do Not Overapply: Excess application can lead to nutrient imbalances or changes in soil pH.

• Use Compatible Products: Check compatibility when mixing with fertilizers or pesticides.

• Wear Protective Gear: Use gloves and protective clothing to avoid direct skin or eye contact.

• Keep Away from Children and Pets: Store safely to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.

Potassium Humate has a shelf life of 3–5 years if stored in a cool, dry place in sealed containers, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Potassium Humate is available in:

• 1 kg, 5 kg, 25 kg bags (flakes or powder)

• 1 L, 5 L, 20 L cans (liquid form)

• Bulk containers for large-scale agricultural use
