Premium Potassium Humate for Agriculture – Natural Soil Conditioner and Plant Growth Promoter

🟢 What Is Potassium Humate?

Potassium Humate is the potassium salt of humic acid, extracted from natural leonardite or lignite through an alkaline extraction process. It is a dark brown to black water-soluble substance widely used as a soil conditioner, plant growth promoter, and organic fertilizer enhancer in modern agriculture.

Highly active and eco-friendly, Potassium Humate improves soil fertility, enhances nutrient absorption, and strengthens plant resistance, making it a vital input in both conventional and organic farming systems.


✅ Benefits of Potassium Humate

  1. Improves Soil Structure
    Loosens compacted soil, enhances aeration, and increases water retention capacity.

  2. Enhances Nutrient Uptake
    Chelates essential nutrients (N, P, K, Fe, Zn, etc.) and makes them more available to plants.

  3. Stimulates Root Development
    Encourages root elongation and branching, supporting better plant anchoring and nutrient absorption.

  4. Boosts Plant Immunity
    Enhances tolerance to abiotic stress such as drought, salinity, and heavy metals.

  5. Increases Crop Yield and Quality
    Promotes healthier growth, more vigorous flowering, and improved fruit set and quality.

  6. Eco-Friendly & Safe
    Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and improves long-term soil health.


🌍 Applications of Potassium Humate

SectorApplication
Field CropsWheat, rice, corn, cotton – improves yield and resistance
VegetablesTomato, cucumber, leafy greens – enhances taste and shelf-life
Fruit TreesCitrus, grapes, apples – promotes uniform fruit growth and color
HorticultureOrnamentals, flowers – stimulates bloom and root vigor
GreenhousesUsed via drip irrigation or foliar application
Organic FarmingCertified natural input for organic cultivation

⚗️ Working Principle

Potassium Humate works by activating soil biology and improving the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of soil, allowing it to retain and release nutrients more efficiently. The humic substances act as natural chelating agents, binding minerals into forms that are more accessible to plant roots. This mechanism enhances nutrient efficiency, especially for micronutrients like Fe, Zn, and Mn.

In plants, it promotes enzyme activation, improves photosynthesis, and regulates hormone-like activity, resulting in robust and healthy growth throughout the crop cycle.


🧪 How to Use Potassium Humate

Application MethodDosageRemarks
Soil Application5–10 kg/haMix with NPK fertilizers or compost
Drip Irrigation2–4 kg/haUse 100% water-soluble grade
Foliar Spray1–2 kg/haUse with micronutrients for improved uptake
Seed Treatment2–5 g/kg of seedEnhances germination and early root development

Always conduct a small test before large-scale application to determine compatibility and crop response.
