HuMate Humic Acid adds needed organic matter and nutrients to the soil, helping plants to grow stronger root systems and produce more abundant foliage, flowers and fruit. Using Medina's HuMate with other fertilizers mobilizes phosphate and metal ions, and allows plants to use these nutrients more completely. HuMate also deepens the color of leaves, fruits and flowers, increases branching and compactness of plants, and, as a result, improves the overall quality. Humic acids, which are colloids, help soil to retain minerals, making more nutrients available to root systems. It also helps to buffer plants against excessively high concentrations of fertilizer by absorbing them and releasing them slowly as plants need them.
HuMate can be used on all types of plants and soils. For most applications, mix 1 part HuMate with 2 parts water to make a 4% solution.
