HUMIGRO / Humate Crystals is a valuable CARBON-based soil conditioner.

Humate granules are produced from extracts of ancient Leonardite deposits, formed from the long-term breakdown of prehistoric vegetative matter.

This unique material is a rich source of carbon and complex nutritional elements, with valuable soil conditioning properties.

Soil-organic carbon forms the basis of soil fertility.

Carbon:

• releases nutrients for plant growth
• feeds beneficial micro-organisms
• promotes soil structure
• buffers against harmful substances

Which positively impacts the biological and physical SOIL HEALTH

The benefits of HUMIGRO / Humate Crystals:

• Reduces leaching & nutrient lock up, keeping nutrients available in the soil for longer (i.e. improves fertiliser sustainability)
• Reduces the negative effects of fertiliser on soil & buffers fertiliser applications
• Is a natural microbial stimulant, especially of fungi, which is often deficient due to use of fungicides
• Improves soil structure, soil moisture & nutrient retention

Lets ‘unpack’ the negative effects of chemical fertilisers:

• Chemical fertilisers have transformed agriculture in their quest to maximising production.
• Their role is to increase nutrient levels and it is a job that they do well.
• However, the continuous & prolonged use of synthetic fertilisers contributes to the ‘problem’ of poor SOILS.
• Poor soils are less able to ‘hold nutrients’, which results in more frequent fertiliser applications. This cycle needs to be broken.

HUMIGRO aids in addressing and mitigating some of these negative impacts by building soil health in the long term.
