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 acidand 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.

Application Scope
*Other Scenarios: substrate cultivation, lawn & landscape greening, nursery production, and flower farming.
1. Soil Improvement (Primary)
Suitable for: Sandy/barren soil, heavy clay, saline-alkaline soil, continuous cropping obstacle soil.Method: Basal application (before plowing), mixed with organic/compound fertilizer for better effect.2. Crop Base Fertilizer
Suitable for: Field crops, fruit trees, vegetables, medicinal herbs, etc.Methods: Field crops – 450-750kg/hectare powder + compound fertilizer (basal); Fruit trees/vegetables – 50-100g granules per planting hole + organic fertilizer; Perennial crops – 1,200-1,800kg/hectare granules (autumn post-harvest).3. Targeted Scenarios
- Seedling substrate: Add 5%-10% (volume) powder to improve germination rate and seedling vigor.
- Saline-alkaline/degraded soil: 1,800-2,250kg/hectare granules + 750kg/hectare gypsum (saline-alkaline); 2,250-3,000kg/hectare (mine reclamation/wasteland).
II. Powder vs. Granules Selection
Trade script: “Powder is cost-effective for small-scale farming; granules suit large mechanized plantations and long-distance shipping (dust-free, easy to apply).”- No foliar spray (insoluble, causes leaf burn/clogged sprayers; soil application only).
- Irrigate after application to avoid soil compaction.
- Not a fertilizer substitute; use with NPK/compound/organic fertilizers.
- Suitable for pH 5.5-8.5; adjust acidic soil (pH<5.5) with lime first.
- Seal and keep moisture-proof; avoid mixing with acids; crush clumped granules for reuse.
| Soil Type | Powder Dosage (kg/hectare) | Granule Dosage (kg/hectare) | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandy/Barren | 750-1,200 | 1,200-1,800 | 1-2 times/year (Spring/Autumn) |
| Heavy Clay/Saline-Alkaline | 1,200-1,800 | 1,800-2,250 | 2 times/year (Deep + Shallow plowing) |
| Ordinary Farmland/Orchard | 450-750 | 750-1,200 | 1 time/year (Base fertilizer) |
| Feature | Powder | Granules | Recommended Clients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Convenience | Needs mixing; high uniform requirement | Direct application; mechanized-friendly | Smallholders (powder); large mechanized farms (granules) |
| Efficacy/Validity | Faster onset (1-2 weeks) | Longer validity (3-6 months) | Short-cycle crops (powder); long-cycle crops (granules) |
| Transport/Storage | Dusty; moisture-proof packaging needed | Dust-free; low loss | Domestic short-distance (either); international trade (granules) |
| Cost | Lower unit price | Higher cost but labor-saving | Cost-sensitive (powder); efficiency-focused (granules) |
