Potassium humate

Potassium humate chemical structure decide its function

Updated · 2 min read

potassium humate is a short carbon chain molecular structure material extracted from natural humic acid. It is the water-soluble part with the smallest molecular weight and the highest active group content in humic acid. Its functional groups interact to reflect a variety of specificities. The physical and chemical properties, after entering the plant body, can exert a variety of physiological functions, inhibiting or activating enzymes to act on the metabolism of the plant body, reflecting obvious stimulating effects, through the regulation of endogenous plant hormones.

Potassium humate has the general characteristics of humic acid, namely: first, its molecular weight is small and easy to be absorbed by organisms; second, its functional group content is more than the physiological activity of common humic acid, and the network of metal ions The ability to combine is relatively strong; the third is that humic acid can be directly dissolved in water, the aqueous solution of these salts is alkaline, and the potassium humate can be directly dissolved in water, and the aqueous solution becomes acidic.

Mineral source potassium humate is a broad-spectrum plant growth regulator. It should be called a bio-stimulant in the most fashionable way. It has the ability to promote plant growth, especially to control the openness of crop leaf stomata, reduce transpiration, and fight drought. An important role can improve the ability to resist stress, increase production and improve quality.

Functional role of ore source potassium humate

1 Exciting plant activity: An unknown growth-promoting factor with high biological activity enhances oxidase activity and other metabolic activities in plant strains. Although potassium humate does not contain hormonal substances, it shows a similar effect to chemically synthesized auxins, cytokinins, abscisic acid and other plant hormones, and plays a comprehensive role in plant growth and development. Regulating effect.

2 Enhance the crop stress resistance: the source of potassium humate has a significant function of cold resistance and drought resistance.

3 slow release fertilizer: improve the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, improve soil agglomerate structure.

4 Chelation of micronutrients: strong complexing ability, improve the absorption and operation of plant trace elements, so that it is better for plant utilization.

5 Plant vigour: potassium humate can support plant vigour as part of a balanced nutrient programme. It is not a pesticide and does not replace crop protection products.

6 anti-flocculation, with buffer, good solubility: strong interaction with metal ions. Its anti-flocculation ability is significantly higher than that of humic acid and similar products. It is soluble in any acid-alkaline water of pH1~14, flocculates in high-calcium-magnesium hard-water saturated brine without precipitation, and has good stability and strong anti-electrolyte ability.

Humic Acid FAQ

Humic acid What is humic acid? Humic acid is a natural organic fraction formed from decomposed and transformed plant and microbial materials. In agriculture, it is used mainly for soil conditioning, fertilizer efficiency and root-zone support. Is humic acid a fertilizer? It is not a conventional NPK fertilizer. Humic acid may contain organic matter and […]

Soil Organic Carbon

Soil organic carbon is the carbon stored in soil organic matter, and it is one of the foundations of productive, resilient soil. It is not a single product. It is not created overnight. It is the result of plant growth, root activity, residue return, microbial transformation and soil management. What soil organic carbon means Plants […]

Seaweed Extract Guide

Seaweed extract has become a standard ingredient in plant biostimulant products. It is used in foliar sprays, drip irrigation products, transplanting formulas, fruit-setting programs and stress-management blends. The material is popular, but quality varies widely. A fertilizer label may say “seaweed extract,” while the actual product can differ in seaweed species, extraction method, solids, alginic […]
