Humates

Also known as humic acids, the humates are substances from the chemical and biological breakdown of prehistoric animal and plant matter, and used as a organic fertilizer.

It is an agricultural product frequently used in organic farming as a soil amendment.

Before it reaches its current state, the plant matter, as it decomposes forms peat, which in turn, turns into humate.

Its trace minerals are as many as 70, which compose of organic acids such as fulvic acids, macromolecules of amino acids, amino sugars, and peptides.

Humic acids play a significant role in the plant health. For one thing, it provides electrical energy capacity to the soil. It guards the soil’s pH level by providing buffering acids, for another.

The soil’s water retention capacity, nutrient absorption ability and aeration are given a boost, while stimulating the microorganisms to perform their function.

The humates were once a living organism, thus, their properties are easily absorbed in the existing plants, which include the fruit-bearing trees, vegetables, flowering plants, shrubs and even lawn.

The benefits of agricultural product can be traced down to as early as the time of Anasazi Indian, Mayans and other North American Indian cultures. At their time, they applied the limestone-gypsum-phosphate rock which is abundant in humate materials, to mineralize the soil.

Today, researches at Technologies Incorporated discovered that the humic acids work well as a base for organic fertilizer, soil conditioners and plant food tablets.

The minerals present in humate fertilizer have proactive effects the growth and development of plant.

Its beneficial effects compose of multiple factors that synergistically and independently work in pursuit of several objectives such as...

• Accelerating seed germination

• Strengthening plant’s root system

• Stimulating plant’s immune system

• Improving endurance and resistance to diseases and parasites.

It encourages ion-exchange resulting to a boost in the structural integrity of water, which in turn, provides the chemical makeup of melted water.

Melted water is known for its medicinal effects on plants.

Permeable shall what become of the plant’s cell wall membrane when regularly fed with organic fertilizer. Hence, the plant’s cells will be stimulated to absorb more nutrients especially sugar and vitamins.

If there is the presence of harmful nitrate in vegetables, it can be decreased to lower levels. Likewise, the plants are protected against the toxic chemicals by bonding pesticides and heavy metals to block them from penetration into the root system.

Humates found favor with organic farming and home gardeners, horticulturist and agricultural growers. Using this fertilizer/ soil amendment helps these people restore to the previous favorable condition of North America’s urban and agricultural land.
