Overview:

Humates are natural organic substances derived from the decomposition of plant and animal matter, primarily consisting of Humic Acids and Fulvic Acids. They play a crucial role in enhancing soil and plant health through their unique properties.

Key Features

1. High Carbon Content: Humates have a high carbon footprint, contributing to carbon sequestration by capturing and storing carbon in the soil. This helps mitigate climate change by reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide and improving soil organic matter, which enhances overall soil health and productivity.

2. Soil Enrichment: Humates improve soil structure by increasing its ability to retain moisture and nutrients. They enhance soil fertility by adding essential organic matter and boosting microbial activity.

3. Nutrient Availability: Humic acids in humates help chelate (bind) essential nutrients, making them more accessible to plant roots. This increases the efficiency of fertilizer use and improves overall nutrient uptake.
