For the first time useful properties of humic acids have been open more than 50 years ago. They promote rapid growth of almost all plant species, strengthening of their root system. Today such fertilizers as potassium humate, the containing humic acids, actively apply in agriculture.
Potassium humate - natural fertilizer which is made of peat. It also does it such useful to plants. It contains amino acids, natural antibiotics and other microelements necessary for growth and increase in productivity.
Effects of application of humate of potassium
The microelements which are contained in potassium humate allow to improve the soil on which plants grow. It becomes more fertile, its chemical and physical properties improve. Humic acids react with microelements (magnesium, calcium and others), creating air time thanks to which the soil "breathes". Also this fertilizer interferes with land erosion.
Use of humate of potassium on sandy soils is especially useful. The main difficulty at their cultivation is that moisture in them long is not late. The abundance of the microelements which are contained in fertilizer allows to get rid of this problem gradually. The humate of potassium has one more property, interesting in terms of chemistry. He is capable to neutralize heavy metals, radioactive materials and any their connections. After such interaction the hit of all hazardous substances in plants is excluded. Gradually the soil will become eco-friendly, plants - healthy, and harvest big. All this will sharply raise profits of agriculture. That is why the humate of potassium is actively used by the developed countries.
Application of humate of potassium
Spraying - the easiest way of application of humate of potassium. To prepare working solution, it is necessary to mix 3 grams of fertilizer and 10 liters of water. This way considerably saves time: it is enough to sprinkle everything couple on each leaf of your plant. Do not increase concentration of humate of potassium. In spite of the fact that fertilizer natural, in large number it is capable to do much harm to plant. To water your seedling with potassium humate solution, it is possible to prepare concentrate. For this purpose dissolve 10 tablespoons of fertilizer in liter of warm water. You store the received mix in the dark place no more than a month. It is added to normal water and water plants right after landing, during budding, and then when there occurs blossoming. For disinfecting of the soil use dry humate of potassium. It is necessary just to scatter it on allotment in the ratio of 50 grams on 10 m² and to walk several times rake to loosen the soil. Experienced farmers do it in the early spring.
