The humate material in our deposit is primarily organic carbon with some nitrogen (1.76% nitrogen, according to tests), as well as small amounts of phosphorous and potassium. It also has small amounts of calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc, copper and sulfur needed for plant life. These elements are in a form from which plants can absorb them.
Humate
At the processing facility, we screen the raw product to remove roots or other debris to give us a dry humate. Since the process does not require heat or chemicals of any kind, our basic humate is kept in its natural state. This means that the chemical properties of our humic substances has not been altered in any way and the living microbes are unharmed and ready to go to work restoring the soil.
Humic substances, or humates, are the dark-colored organic compounds that remain after the natural degradation of biomatter that are resistant to further degradation. They are also the major organic ingredient of the soil. These humates are generally classified into three distinct categories: humic acid, fulvic acid and humin, with each category separated based on their solubility in water as a function of pH. It has long been recognized that humic substances have many beneficial impacts on both the soil and plant growth. Each of these categories has properties that help them enhance their effectiveness to complement turfgrass fertility programs.
Humates are now recognized as the single most productive input in sustainable agriculture. They consist of humic and fulvic acid along with the raw humates (prehistoric plant matter) from which these powerful natural acids are derived. Humic acid is a powerful fungi promotant. Beneficial fungi (including mycorrhizal fungi) are the missing link in many soils. It stabilizes nitrogen and improves nitrogen efficiency, thereby making it an ideal additive with urea. Humic acid complexes phosphate to reduce lock-ups and, as such, is also an ideal additive with diammonium phosphate (DAP) and mono ammonium phosphate (MAP). Humates are the only known substance with the ability to hold onto every other nutrient in the soil which enables heightened nutrient absorption. Humates contain an auxin-like growth promotant that can enhance cell division and elongation. In addition, they increase the permeability of plant cells to increase nutrient uptake by up to 40%.
Humates are a cost-effective and multi-purpose tool that has the ability to do all that we have named. They also have pH buffering capacity to help neutralize the problems associated with pH extremes. With a CEC of 450, humates also aid in moisture and nutrient retention and improve soil structure by promoting fungi to create a crumb structure for better water and oxygen intake and improved root penetration.
When applied directly to soil, humic acid is a powerful fungi promoter, a nitrogen stabilizer and phosphate complexing agent. Along with their natural chelating and complexing properties, humates have the ability of to increase permeability of cells which can improve nutrient uptake by up to 40%. Humates can also buffer pH and reduce the effects of excessive elements (e.g. sodium), toxic chemicals and heavy metals.

Humate Soil Conditioner is basically million year old organic matter that is mined from the soil. It has a positive effect on the physical, chemical, and biological reactions of the soil leading to an increase in soil fertility and microbial activity. Humate is comprised of Humic Acid and Fulvic Acid, which are proven to build organic matter in soils, stimulate beneficial microbial activity and Humate is a key component in building a living soil. Basically, humate is million year old organic matter that is very similar to coal, but humate is also loaded with organic compounds that will build organic matter in soils.
Our humate soil conditioner is a premium all-natural, granular product. It is a CDFA OIM and allowed for use in all agricultural applications. Our humate is the foundation of all of our humic acid products!

Sodium humate is the sodium salt of humic acid, widely distributed in nature and extractable from lignite and peat. Several studies have shown that sodium humate solution can remove sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and can also form hydrogels with starch or clay to adsorb copper and various dyes es in aqueous solutions. Sodium humate can chelate metal ions and adsorb pollutants, so it is widely used in biological agriculture and pollution control.
Our study was carried out at the Donghai Island Marine Biological Research Base of Guangdong Ocean University over 43 days. We investigated the outcomes of adding sodium humate and sodium humate with probiotics (Lysinibacillus, Bacillus subtilis) to culture water on the growth performance, enzyme activity, and microbial environment of shrimp. The sodium humate and probiotics concentrations were 3 mg/L and 105 CFU/mL in the culture water. L. vannamei (0.31 Â 0.03 grams) at a density of 300 shrimps/m3 were cultured in nine tanks for the 43-days culture experiment.
However, few investigations have investigated the effects of dietary sodium humate on shrimp. In this study, the addition of sodium humate to culture water could promote growth, significantly increase the survival rate, and reduce the feed conversion rate of L. vannamei, which was similar to the above study results. Our results indicate that sodium humate has a significant effect on the growth performance of L. vannamei.
In our study, adding sodium humate with probiotics to the culture water promoted growth, improved the survival rate of L. vannamei, and decreased the feed conversion ratio, FCR. However, the results of probiotic addition were similar to the sodium humate group on growth performance, where we observed that the probiotics had no consistent effect on the shrimp.
This could be related to the way of the probiotics were added, only once at the beginning of the experiment. Moreover, the ammonia nitrogen in one group was significantly lower than in the control group at 15 d. Our data validate that the addition of sodium humate with probiotics can reduce the accumulation of ammonia nitrogen to a certain extent in culture water, thereby improving the growth and health of shrimp.
In our study, both the intestinal digestive enzymes and some hepatopancreatic immune enzymes of the animals in the experimental groups increased to varying degrees compared to the control group, and all measured enzymes in the sodium humate treatments were significantly higher than in the control group except for lysozyme, indicating that adding sodium humate to culture water improves the digestive and non-specific immune capacities of L. vannamei.

Upright bars denote the mean  SD (n = 6). Bars labelled with different letters denote significant differences (p The bacterial diversity of culture water plays a vital role in the stability of the water environment. Our data showed that the diversity indices of water microflora in the experimental groups were higher than in the control group. The sodium humate group is significantly higher than in the control group, suggesting that sodium humate as a carbon source increases the abundance of the water microbial community, with the enhanced bacterial respiration of bacteria leading to the pH reduction.
The Pseudohongiella genus in culture water in the experimental groups is significantly higher than the control group, inferring that sodium humate and probiotics could indirectly improve the utilization of organic matter in culture water.
Our results indicate that the addition of sodium humate to the culture water enhances growth, digestive enzymes, and some immune enzyme activities, improving the richness of the water microbial community of L. vannamei.
However, the positive effect of growth performance and enzymatic activities in the addition of sodium humate with probiotics (Lysinibacillus, B. subtilis) was relatively lower than the addition of sodium humate, indicating that the addition of the probiotics was actually decreasing the positive effect of sodium humate addition. But the addition of the probiotics effectively reduced the accumulation of ammonia nitrogen in the culture water.
