100% soluble humic acid and fulvic acid as the potassium salt
ALL ABOUT BIOTREAT K-MATE
BioTreat K-Mate Potassium Humate is the potassium salt of humic acid. Frequently humic acid, potassium humate and humates are used interchangeably. Potassium humate is made using alkaline extraction of Lignite Leonhardite. Our process goes a step further and makes our K-Mate Potassium Humate very soluble compared to many other companies' products. Because of the high solubility pasture and crops can take it in easily giving much better utilisation of all the goodies it contains.
When you get down to the nitty-gritty, Potassium humate is a soluble organic potash fertliser on steroids.
K-Mate Potassium humate (Humic acid) also contains fulvic acid, another naturally occurring soil acid and high levels of potassium, which are all found naturally in the soil but often need a boost.
WHY BIOTREAT K-MATE POTASSIUM HUMATE (HUMIC ACID) IS SO EFFECTIVE
Organic soil acids typically found in the soil, like humic acid, fulvic acid and ulmic acid bind to the grass (or other plants) roots and help them take in water and other nutrients. As a result, where soils have high humic acid or potassium humate levels, the yield of plants increases dramatically.
BioTrreat K-Mate Potassium Humate:
- Increases the chlorophyll density in plants.
- Approved by BioGro as an input. Input number 5256.
- Improves Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) in soil.
- Improves a plant's ability to retain water.
- Microbial activity is promoted by using this retained water and providing a carbon source.
- Enhances the respiration of plant roots.
- Increases photosynthesis in the plant.
- Chelates well.
- Lock up detrimental aluminium in acidic soils. Aluminium is known to impede plant growth.
- Application as either a pre-dissolved liquid spray or sprinkled and raked into topsoil.
- Calcium retention is improved
- Increases available potassium in the soil and potassium absorption as it acts as organic potash.
- It will improve soil structure.
- Acts to retain and then slowly releases nitrogen and phosphorus for the grass or plants to utilise.
- Has good buffering properties.
- Provide the ability to reduce traditional fertiliser use.
- Cost-effective, providing higher yields.
APPLICATION OF BIOTREAT K-MATE POTASSIUM HUMATE
K-Mate Potassium Humate (Humic Acid, fulvic acid, potassium) applied as a Liquid Solution
Use 1.5-3.0kg per hectare dissolved in water and apply 200-500L of made-up humate solution per hectare. If possible apply 3-4 times during the season.
K-Mate Potassium Humate can be mixed with a wide range of other products however please jar test before you make up your main spray. It can be mixed with urea solutions, UAN or Nitrosol Nitrogen Boost but we do not recommend applying it with herbicides or pesticides due to the potential for adverse reactions. We do not recommend mixing with low pH (acidic) products or products containing phosphates or calcium.
BioTreat K-Mate Potassium Humate applied as a granule/powder/flake
Use 2-5kg per hectare if applying to the soil as a broadcast soil conditioner at around 5% of the total blend. e,g, for every 100kg Urea, DAP, MAP. Do not exceed 20kg per hectare when broadcast.
