Potassium humate is a soluble product. This product is created by treating the insoluble product Leonardite with potassium sulphate. Potassium humate has the same effect as Leonardite and can be sprayed on the crops to stimulate plant growth. Potassium humate contains humic acids (humic and fulvic acids). These humic acids have a very positive influence on the development of soil life which results in making nutrients (including phosphates) from the soil more available to the plant.
Leonardite also has a high CEC (cation exchange capacity) complex which ensures that nutrients remain available in the soil for longer. As a result, less nitrogen leaching will occur. Leonardite must be applied before planting or seeding. Potassium humate can be applied repeatedly during the growing season in small quantities, along with crop spraying treatments. Potassium humate therefore also improves the plant's root formation, allowing the plant to absorb more moisture and nutrients.
