HumberPalmers Unique Organic Base
Derived from a rich source of naturally occurring matter, HumberPalmers unique Organic Base contains high levels of Humates, delivering excellent results for the enrichment of soil and plant.
What Are Humates?
Humates are the purest form of natural organic matter known to man, and are one of the most complex substances on earth. These substances, formed from the biological and chemical breakdown of organic material over millions of years, contain a mixture of organic acids and include: humic acids, fulvic acids, macromolecules of amino acids, amino sugars and peptides.
How Do Humates Work?
Humates are the essential construction blocks of a well balanced soil, supporting the soil structure and well being of plants. They can directly contribute to the enhanced biological activity of soil through the support of beneficial microbes, and have the ability to free Phosphates and other minerals locked up in the soil, making them available for root uptake.
HumberPalmers Protected Nitrogen
All compound grades manufactured with urea nitrogen either contain a registered urease inhibitor or have an option to include. Whether requiring a protected nitrogen fertiliser by preference or due to environmental regulations HumberPalmers have the options available.
Urea with NutriSphere-N®, a unique dual-action nitrogen protector minimising looses through volatilisation and nitrification. It is a urease inhibitor designed to protect yield, achieve quality and save money.
True Compound Fertilisers
All HumberPalmers fertilisers are manufactured as complete homogeneous granules. Each granule of fertiliser contains macro and micro nutrients together with humates, Sulphur and Trace Elements.
Sodium
Additional Sodium to further improve grazing efficiency is contained within selected HumberPalmers fertiliser grades.
Sulphur
All grades of HumberPalmers fertilisers contain Sulphur, universally acknowledged as essential for amino acid production (cysteine and methionine). It is recognised as being the catalyst for improved uptake of applied Nitrogen and Potash, increasing true protein levels and reducing nitrate levels in crops and soil reserves.
Trace Elements
All grades of HumberPalmers fertilisers contain a wide spectrum of available minerals and Trace Elements, benefiting soil, plants and animals. These include: Calcium, Sodium, Zinc, Selenium, Copper, Cobalt, Manganese, Boron.
