Humates are now recognized as the single most productive input in sustainable agriculture. They consist of humic and fulvic acid along with the raw humates (prehistoric plant matter) from which these powerful natural acids are derived. Humic acid is a powerful fungi promotant. It stabilizes nitrogen and improves nitrogen efficiency. Humic acid complexes phosphate to reduce lock-ups and, as such, is also an ideal additive with di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) and mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP). Humates are the only known substance with the ability to hold onto every other nutrient in the soil which enables heightened nutrient absorption. Humates contain an auxin-like growth promotant that can enhance cell division and elongation. In addition, they increase the permeability of plant cells to increase nutrient uptake by up to 40 %. 96% Pure humic acid in powder and granular.
