We are a company dedicated to help make agriculture more profitable by naturally stimulating plants to grow better in their environment. We do not produce plant nutrients such as fertilizer. We manufacture and provide products that have or reproduce natural plant stimulates. This is a new concept for many in main stream agriculture.

LIQUID HUMATE GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

RATED EXPECTED BENEFITS

Liquid Humate

• Liquid Humate is a unique concentrated Fulvic Acid extract from a natural occurring highly concentrated decomposed organic matter.
• Specialty plant growers have been using Fulvic Acid for years due to its plant growth benefits. They could afford to pay high prices for it. This is because they got high prices for their product. Now Liquid Humate offers the same benefits at a very low cost that anyone can benefit from no matter what crops they are producing. This is due to a low cost high quality extraction process we have developed.
• Liquid Humate contain some of the short chain humic acids which are plant active which also aid the friendly microbes in the soil.
• Fulvic Acid and humic acid are natural organic acids found in soils high in organic matter.
• Applying Liquid Humate to soils with an organic matter higher then 5% will generally not benefit the grower. However, all plants will benefit from foliar application because much of the fulvic acid found high organic soils never reach the above ground potion of the plant. Soil applications are generally up to 5 gallon per acre or one to two quarts on or beside the seed per acre. Foliar is generally at one quart per acre per application.
• Fulvic Acid and the short chain humic acids are natural plant growth stimulators (growth hormones) which are known to assist plants to grow more vigorously.
• Fulvic acids are known to boost the energy level of plants. It is known that high energy plants show resistance to some disease pathogens and may lower insect occurrences.
• Fulvic Acid is known to aid in the development of a greater root mass and with consequences of a healthier plant with more top growth and production potential.
• Fulvic Acid has proven that it helps plants to withstand stress. Stress can be caused by heat, cold, drought or too wet, too much shade, insect attach and some plant nutrient deficiencies.
• Fulvic Acid is known to help to improve photosynthesis-convert carbon dioxide into plant matter, which may increase the level of polysaccharides (carbon energy levels) in the plant and may lower the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
• Fulvic Acid has shown that it can be used in limited light to aid in photosynthesis at a lower light. Or to say shaded plants treated with Fulvic Acid performed better then the untreated plants in the shade. This may work with plants that may have to compete for sun light with taller growing plants being present. We have seen this work with Coastal Bermuda Grass competing for sunlight with taller growing ryegrass early in the spring. The ryegrass did not shade out the treated Coastal Bermuda grass. The Coastal Bermuda grass was able to grow where it otherwise may have been smothered out from no direct sun light. We farther observed that when the ryegrass was cut for hay, the Coastal Bermuda Grass responded well with out the normal set back following ryegrass production.
• Fulvic Acid is known for its chelating characteristics with other plant nutrients which help increase absorption and the utilization of them.
• Fulvic Acid is known to increase the effectiveness of herbicides by increasing the absorption of the herbicide into the plant cells. Some have found that they can decreased the amount of herbicide used and achieve better results.
• Liquid Humate applied directly to the soils with an organic matter less then 5% will aid and benefit the friendly micro life in the soil and help make plant nutrients available.
• Liquid Humate will help increase the value of your fertilizer or the plant nutrients that are present by allowing the plant to use them more efficiently. This is very important with the high cost of fertilizer.
• When foliar applying Liquid Humate mix in a balanced water soluble fertilizer along with the Liquid Humate. This enhances the effect of the Liquid Humate because it gives the plant the needed nutrients at the very point and time of the most stimulation from the Liquid Humate occurs to allow the plant to take a greater and faster advantage of the Liquid Humate. This really gives the plant a great fast boost.
• Treated plants rebound from stress faster. This is seen in hay that has been treated with Liquid Humate. After harvesting, the re-growth of the new hay has been up to ten days quicker. This increases production potential during a fixed growing period, allowing more cuttings per season.
• Liquid Humate is a high quality product which has been developed and manufactured with a lower cost which we pass on to our customers to make them more profitable. We believe if our customers make more profit, they will do more business with us. We both benefit.
• At today's high fertilizer prices other Humate products are selling at an accelerated price. As their demand has gone up. We have controlled our costs and resisted the temptation to raise the prices other then to recover the extra fuel charges and a few increased ingredient costs. We will not gouge the market just because the others are. Our increased demand for our product has increased profits well enough. Our goal is to keep you in business and to do business with you next year and the years there after.

Always check to insure that the liquid is not beading up on the plant leafs while doing foliar application. If the liquid is beading up, it is a sign that the water in the tank mix needs to act wetter. Adding a surfactant help will help solve this problem. Also adjusting the tank mix pH to around 5.8 to 6.0 will increase the absorption of the liquid.

As in any plant growth program, your results may vary depending upon the growing conditions, nutrient availability and other circumstances beyond our control. Many producers have found that Liquid Humate is a management tool that has saved money and/or increased profits. We suggest that you first follow our basic guide lines and then adjust to your needs to your conditions. Many producers have increased our recommendation and have claimed even better results and profits. Best yet, get advice from a good soil specialist or plant specialist.

Our basic four point recommendation:

1. Provide the needed plant nutrients including proper soil pH.
2. Develop a good soil structure by managing compaction and not allowing the soil to get too loose allowing too much oxygen in the soil to oxidize the carbon in the organic matter into carbon dioxide at too fast of a rate.
3. Develop and maintain a good friendly micro life in the soil.
4. Strive to develop high levels of organic matter in the soil of at least 5 % and aim for 10%.

Using Liquid Humate is a management tool that many have developed to aid or assisting in their management program in achieving part of or all of the above for more profitable production. We suggest that you work with your local soil specialist to out line a program just for you and your needs. We will be glad to visit with your soil or plant specialist and to assist if we can to help make the best recommendations for you.
