Potassium humate fertilizer is a non-toxic, odorless, black natural organic powder. It combines the advantages of inorganic fertilizer and farmyard manure and is superior to them.

Common chemical fertilizers (such as urea, 50%–60% potassium fertilizer, diammonium phosphate, etc.) are easy to produce soil compaction and water and gas pollution, humic acid and Potassium humate can be avoided or significantly reduced.

And obviously high crop yield, improve crop quality, improve crop nutrient content, nitrate content, color, aroma, taste and storability. It is the material basis for agricultural clean production and green food with environmental protection functions.

The loss of potassium humate is low, the utilization rate is high, the plant absorption is stable, and the yield and quality are improved in both directions. It is a “green” potash fertilizer for agricultural application and a substitute for ordinary agricultural potassium chloride and potassium sulfate. Potassium humate is suitable for any crop and can also be applied in combination with common fertilizers.

Sodium humate is a sodium salt of humic acid.
China has a long history of using humic acid as a medicinal product. It was applied as early as the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 1127). The “East Wall Earth Rotten Ancient Wood” and “Wu Jinshi” recorded in Li Shizhen’s “Compendium of Materia Medica” in the Ming Dynasty actually refer to It is peat and weathered coal.
However, its development and utilization is still a matter of the last half century. As early as 1902, Germany first used ammonium in peat recovery gas to make ammonium humate. Later, scientists and technicians in many countries used humic acid in industry and agriculture. He has done a lot of work in health care, etc. He started later in China. He had some early work in the late 1950s and early 1960s, but it was really encouraged and promoted by the state after the 1970s.

Humic acid and its products have many uses. China has the following products and is widely used.

  1. Agriculture
    In agriculture, humic acid fertilizers (such as ammonium humic acid fertilizers can be made by neutralizing humic acid with ammonia) in combination with nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements, with fertilizers to enhance efficiency, improve soil, stimulate crop growth, Improve the quality of agricultural products and other functions; nitrohumic acid can be used as a rice cultivating agent;
    Magnesium humate, zinc humate and humic acid urea iron have good effects in supplementing soil magnesium deficiency, corn zinc deficiency and fruit tree iron deficiency; humic acid, herbicide ether, atrazine and other pesticides can be mixed to improve the efficacy. Inhibition of residual toxicity; sodium humate is effective in treating apple tree rot.
  2. Animal husbandry
    In the animal husbandry industry, sodium humate is used for antler to stop bleeding, and nitro-humic acid urea complex is also used as a feed additive for cattle.
  3. Industry
    In industry, sodium humate is used for ceramic mud adjustment; low pressure boiler and locomotive boiler anti-scaling; humic acid ion exchanger is used for treating heavy metal-containing wastewater; sulfonated humic acid sodium is used for cement water reducing agent; humic acid product is also Used as oil drilling mud treatment agent (see oil field chemicals); purified humic acid used as lead storage battery cathode expansion agent.

The main elemental composition of sodium humate is carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and is a polycondensate of a polyvalent phenolic aromatic compound and a nitrogen compound. The molecular weight distribution is wide, the molecular weight of small molecules is tens of thousands, and the molecular weight of macromolecules is tens of thousands to millions.

The structure of sodium humate is relatively complicated.

It is known that the humic acid molecule contains a benzene ring, a fused ring and some heterocyclic rings (such as pyrrole, furan, anthracene, etc.), and each aromatic ring has a bridge bond, and each ring has an aromatic ring. A functional group is mainly a carboxyl group, a phenol group, a hydroxyl group, a methoxy group, a thiol group or the like. The content of humic acid dry base in sodium humate is more than 75%, which was originally produced as a farm animal companion. It is a good veterinary drug and feed additive for the production of green milk and egg food.

  1. Improve soil aggregate structure
  2. improve fertilizer utilization
  3. Stimulate soil microbial reproduction
  4. Promote crop growth
  5. Chelation of trace elements
  6. solution of phosphorus and potassium

Humic Acids

Humic acid includes black humic acid, brown humic acid, and fulvic acid. Many people will confuse humic acid with potassium humate. Simply put, humic acid is a kind of organic mixture, and potassium humate is one of the least molecular weight components, soluble in water and soluble in acids and bases. Because of its many functional groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl, methoxy, etc.), it has high activity and good effect, and is often proposed.

Potassium Humate

What about potassium humate? Potassium humate is divided into two categories from the source:

From the source: the source of humic acid is the residue of plants and animals (brown coal, weathered coal, peat) formed by tens of millions of years of soil microbial transformation.

The biochemical humic acid, which is made by using molasses to produce alcohol waste liquid or the waste water after producing yeast, is prepared by concentration and spray drying, and the humic acid is highly hygroscopic and has a sugary taste.

From the composition: the main components of biochemical humic acid potassium are polysaccharides, lignin, protein, and few functional groups. The ore source humic acid potassium is rich in various functional groups such as hydroxyl group, phenol group and carboxyl group, and the utilization rate is high.

From the function point of view: the source of potassium humate can regulate the pH of the soil due to its functional group. It is also a natural chelating agent, which chelate with metal ions, reduce nutrient loss or solidification, promote direct absorption of plants, and promote poor solubility in soil. The aluminosilicate inorganic mineral (phosphorus and potassium) forms soluble nutrients and is directly absorbed by plants.

Functions of potassium Humate

  1. Promote the development of crop roots and increase the rate of emergence. Potassium humate is rich in a variety of nutrients. It can be seen in new roots in 3-7 days. At the same time, it can increase secondary roots, increase the ability of plants to absorb nutrients and water, promote cell division and accelerate crop growth.
  2. Improve fertilizer utilization. Potassium humate provides the necessary carbon and nitrogen sources for beneficial microbial activities in the soil, which promotes the proliferation of microorganisms, dissolves phosphorus, dissolves potassium, and fixes nitrogen, thereby greatly improving the utilization of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, and generally increasing the utilization rate by 50%. the above.
  3. Improve the drought resistance, cold resistance and disease resistance of plants. Potassium humate can promote the formation of soil aggregate structure, enhance soil fertility and water retention capacity, and enhance plant drought resistance. Potassium humate can enhance the photosynthesis of plants and increase the organic matter in plant cells, thereby improving the cold resistance of crops. The roots of the plants are developed, the ability to absorb nutrients is greatly enhanced, the plants are robust and the disease resistance is strong.
  4. Improve production and improve quality. Potassium humate is completely soluble in water, easy to absorb and has strong permeability. The effect is more than 5 times that of common humic acid. The active substance of fulvic acid makes the absorption and utilization rate of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium reach 50% or more, greatly enhancing the nutrition of the plant itself. Increase yield and improve crop quality.
  5. Improve soil and resist heavy mites. Humic acid combines with calcium ions in the soil to form a stable agglomerate structure. The water, fertilizer, gas and heat of the soil are regulated. The soil is beneficially multiplied, and the harmful bacteria in the soil are controlled, thus improving crop resistance and causing The long-term excessive fertilization caused by the knot and soil salinity has obvious repair function.

On March 13, 2019, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued a drug feed additive withdrawal plan (draft for comments), which means that in addition to traditional Chinese medicine, other drug feed additives will no longer be allowed to use the “medicine add word” number, only use ” Veterinary drug word.” For a time, various anti-zinc-killing products have sprung up like mushrooms. As a natural raw material that is natural and natural, and is not easily absorbed by the intestines, sodium humate has been gradually taken into account in the green and healthy breeding of livestock and poultry.

Sodium humate is a kind of macromolecular organic weak sodium salt with various functions, which is made from weathered coal, peat and lignite. It is non-toxic, odorless, non-corrosive and highly soluble in water. It is widely used. In the fields of agriculture, industry, medicine, etc., it was included in the Catalogue of Feed Materials on December 19, 2013, and it has the functions of convergence, anti-inflammatory and antidiarrheal;

sodium humate has both oxidative and reductive properties, and it can protect water and sodium in the intestine, and treat the problems of piglet diarrhea and sow constipation;

sodium humate enters the digestive tract and forms a colloidal substance that protects the digestive tract from harmful bacteria;

In the poultry feed, due to the astringent effect of sodium humate, the addition of water to the feed can solve the problem of poultry water and overfeed, and the adsorption of sodium humate also causes the ammonia smell to decrease after the chicken manure is discharged.

Due to the wide range of applications of sodium humate, the feed grade sodium humate products on the market are mixed. Beijing Carbon Source Power is a company that has been researching humic acid products for many years in China. Our products meet several quality indicators:

The survival and development of an enterprise cannot be separated from the innovation and development of products. With the development of the industry, the competitiveness of products has also increased. Beijing Carbon Source has been developing humic acid products for many years and has many achievements in the industry. And patents, we continuously improve the quality of products, processing technology, and environmental protection to enhance the competitiveness of products.

As a raw material taken from nature, sodium humate can not only be used as an anti-inflammatory, astringent and anti-diarrheal effect, but also discharged into the soil as a fertilizer, so it is not only in line with the national environmental protection. Requirements, and the country’s policy on ban on zinc reduction is becoming more and more strict, the advantage of sodium humate will also become increasingly prominent, and sodium humate will become the star of the road against zinc reduction.

Driven by the Ministry of Agriculture’s Action Plan for Zero Growth of Fertilizer Use by 2020, green fertilizers should be vigorously developed to develop value-added fertilizers, and potassium humate will play an important role. At the launch conference of the new fertilizer strategy of China’s first humic acid and potassium humate compound fertilizer summit held in Beijing a few days ago, Zhao Bingqiang, a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.

According to Zeng Xiancheng, chairman of the China Humic Acid Industry Association, according to the results of the announcement of the Fertilizer Registration Certificate of the Ministry of Agriculture, there are currently 4,636 registered products containing potassium in China, of which 1,527 are humic acid fertilizers containing potassium, accounting for about 1/3. “

For more than 30 years, a large number of experimental studies have proved that potassium humate can improve soil available potassium content, increase potassium absorption and utilization, promote crop yield increase, improve crop quality, enhance crop resistance, etc., and have achieved good results in agricultural applications. Effect.” Zeng Xiancheng said.

Participants in the industry believe that because potassium humate has the function of soil remediation and improvement, it can effectively avoid soil acidification and fouling caused by long-term use of traditional fertilizers (such as potassium sulfate, urea, diammonium phosphate, etc.), which is conducive to the persistence of farmland.

Development and utilization. At present, in the face of the strong promotion of “Zero Fertilizer Zero Growth Action”, in the face of the high-grade requirements of the “tongue” of ordinary people, the production of humic acid potassium and humic acid potassium fertilizer will become more and more popular. Potassium humate is a suitable material for the production of compound fertilizers and water-soluble fertilizers.

The new humic acid potassium fertilizer is used as a breakthrough to build a Chinese humic acid potassium compound fertilizer market, which is an important idea for the future development of the fertilizer industry.

Professor Chen Xinping from the College of Resources and Environment, China Agricultural University is conducting a special research project on “High Potassium Fertilizer Utilization and Potassium Substitution Technology”.

He believes that China’s compound fertilizer is currently developing from GM to dedicated. With the increasing demand for potash in the world, thepotassium fertilizer industry is developing rapidly, and its product types are becoming more and more abundant. Single-fertilizer, compound fertilizer and water-soluble fertilizer containing potassium humate will be more and more popular.
