Super Potassium Humate Flakes / Powder FAQ

Answer: No adverse side effects occur with proper dosage. Key notes for safe long-term use:
  1. It promotes beneficial soil microbial activity and improves soil structure over time, without causing compaction or nutrient imbalance.
  2. Avoid excessive application—overdosing may lead to overly vigorous root growth but slower above-ground plant development.
  3. For saline-alkaline or heavy-metal contaminated soils, combine with soil testing and apply in split doses to prevent potential heavy-metal accumulation.
  4. Follow recommended dosage ranges (base + topdressing) for sustained soil and crop health.
  • Flakes: Slower dissolution (10-15 mins stirring or overnight soaking for large-scale use), cost-effective, suitable for base application/soil incorporation.
  • Powder: Instant dissolution (5 mins), convenient for drip irrigation/foliar spraying. Choose based on application method: flakes for base fertilization; powder for topdressing (drip/foliar) or time-sensitive scenarios.
No. This product is not compatible with fertilizers (NPK, calcium/magnesium-based) or pesticides. Maintain a ≥72-hour interval between application and other agri-inputs. For blending needs, use our complementary product: Mineral source humic fulvic fertilizer (formulated for compatibility).
  1. Saline-alkaline soil: Increase dosage by 20-30% (base + topdressing) to enhance acid-adjusting and alkali-inhibiting effects;
  2. Sandy soil: Increase by 15-25% to maximize water-locking capacity;
  3. Clay soil: Reduce by 10-15% (avoids excessive moisture retention);
  4. Fertile soil: Reduce by 10-20% to prevent nutrient leaching.
  1. Soil improvement effects (loosening, water retention): Visible in 2-4 weeks (e.g., saline-alkaline soil EC value decreases by 15-20%);
  2. Crop growth effects (root development, vigor): 1-2 weeks for foliar spray/drip irrigation;
  3. Yield and quality improvement: Manifested in critical stages (flowering, fruit enlargement) or at harvest (yield +11.5-35%, sugar content +7-30%).
Yes. It fully complies with organic agricultural standards, with key certifications:
  • CERES EU/NOP (organic input certification);
  • ISO Quality Management System Certification;
  • EU REACH Compliance. It can be directly used in organic crop cultivation without violating certification requirements.
  1. Foliar spraying: Dilute 1:500-800 (w/v) with clean water (pH 6.0-7.5), spray on both leaf sides in early morning or late afternoon (avoid direct sunlight); 
  2. Drip irrigation: Dilute 1:200-300 (w/v), stir thoroughly until fully dissolved, filter with 120-150 mesh screen to prevent nozzle clogging;
  3. Key note: Flakes need pre-soaking (10-15 mins) before dilution.
Storage conditions: Keep in a dry, cool (15-25℃), well-ventilated area; avoid moisture, direct sunlight, and contact with strong acids/alkalis. Shelf life: 24 months in original sealed packaging. Open packages should be used within 3 months and resealed tightly after each use.
  1.  Higher humic acid content (65-70% vs. 50-60% for ordinary products);
  2.  Large molecular weight (2-3x stronger water-locking and soil improvement effects);
  3.  Strict organic certifications (CERES EU/NOP, REACH) for global market access;
  4.  Proven results (11.5-35% yield increase in domestic field trials, applicable to problematic soils like saline-alkaline/sandy soil).
  1. Avoid direct contact with crop roots (dig trenches/holes 15-20 cm away during topdressing) to prevent root burn;
  2. Wear gloves and a mask when operating, rinse with water immediately if it comes into contact with skin/eyes;
  3. Keep away from children and pets;
  4. Do not mix with strong acidic/alkaline substances (e.g., concentrated sulfuric acid-based fertilizers) to avoid flocculation.

Insoluble Humic Acid Product Overview

Insoluble Humic acid is formed by microbial degradation of the dead biological substances. Its specific properties and structure depending on a given sample source from water or soil to extract the specific conditions.Products we have are humic acid powder, granular humic acid and humic acid crystal.

Humus in soils and sediments can be divided into three main parts: humic acid (HA), fulvic acid (FA) and humin (HM). HA is soluble in alkali solution, but not soluble in water and acid, FA is soluble in alkali, soluble in water and acid; the HM is neither soluble in alkali, nor soluble in water and acids.

2. Core Implementation Tips

  • Soil application only; no foliar spray (insoluble in water).
  • Irrigate thoroughly after application (moisten 20cm soil depth) to activate binding.
  • Mix with organic fertilizer (1:3) for best effect; replace 20-30% chemical fertilizer.
  • Optimal timing: early spring/autumn; apply as base fertilizer for annual crops.

Insoluble Humic Acid FAQ

Core functions include improving soil structure, enhancing water and fertilizer retention, slow nutrient release, regulating soil pH, and remediating saline-alkali or heavy metal-contaminated soils. It is mainly used as a soil amendment and base fertilizer.
No. Insoluble humic acid cannot dissolve in water; foliar spraying will cause leaf burn and clog sprayers. It is only suitable for soil application.
  • Powder: Cost-effective, suitable for smallholder farmers (manual planting) and short-cycle crops (e.g., vegetables, wheat) due to faster onset (1-2 weeks).
  • Granules: Dust-free, easy for mechanized operation, suitable for large-scale farms, long-cycle crops (e.g., fruit trees, medicinal herbs) and long-distance transportation (longer validity: 3-6 months).
It is highly effective for sandy/barren soil, heavy clay soil, saline-alkali soil (including soda saline-alkali soil), continuous cropping obstacle soil, and heavy metal-contaminated soil.
  • Storage conditions: Keep in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse; avoid moisture, direct sunlight, and contact with strong acids/alkalis. Seal the package tightly after opening to prevent caking.
  • Shelf life: 2-3 years for unopened packages (stored as required); use opened products within 6 months for best effectiveness.
  • Note: Mild caking does not affect product performance—crush it before use.
Yes. Irrigate thoroughly after application (moisten soil to 20cm depth) to activate the binding between humic acid and soil particles, avoiding soil compaction.
No. It cannot replace chemical fertilizers or organic fertilizers. It should be used with NPK compound fertilizers or organic fertilizers (mix with organic fertilizers at 1:3 for best effect) to improve fertilizer use efficiency and can replace 20-30% of chemical fertilizers.
  • Powder: Faster onset, visible effects (e.g., improved seedling vigor, soil looseness) in 1-2 weeks;
  • Granules: Slow release, long-term validity (3-6 months), obvious yield increase effects in 1-2 growing seasons.
Yes. Modified insoluble humic acid can effectively immobilize heavy metals (e.g., cadmium). For cadmium-contaminated farmland, it can reduce wheat grain cadmium content by 81.77% and soil available cadmium by 65%, meeting food safety standards.
The optimal time is early spring or autumn. For annual crops, apply as base fertilizer before planting; for perennial crops (e.g., fruit trees), apply after autumn harvest (around the drip line of the crown).
