Humalite GG 16 is an organic, fine-grade humic granule, containing 64% humic acid (HPTA method). The fine-grade particle size allows for increased surface area which allows the particles to degrade quickly and creates greater nutrient availability to the plant. Ideal for broadcast or in-furrow application, Humalite GG 16 enables users to apply material directly to the soil or mix with a substrate. Humalite GG 16 has limited blending capabilities.

Product Highlights

Black Earth Humalite GG 16 is an organic, fine-grade humic granule, containing 64% humic acid (HPTA method). The fine-grade particle size allows for increased surface area which allows the particles to degrade quickly and creates greater nutrient availability to the plant. Ideal for broadcast or in-furrow application, Humalite GG 16 enables users to apply material directly to the soil or mix with a substrate. Humalite GG 16 has limited blending capabilities. Humalite GG 16 can also be used in manufacturing applications.

Applications & Uses

Application Technique
Application Rates

Do not Blend with Urea, Nitrogen based products, DAP. Compatible with most potassium and phosphate products, with little to no nitrogen in the products (MAP or MEZ) Incompatible with urea. Not soluble in water. Conduct small jar test, prior to bending. Apply directly to the soil or mix with a substrate.

Livestock

Nurture Healthy Livestock. Using humic acid as a livestock feed additive can help increase animal yields and reduce mortality due to illness reduction. Boosts immune systems, lowers stress level, encourages acidification of the gut, removes heavy metals and promotes the chelation of beneficial nutrients.

  • Improve Uptake & Digestion
  • Increase Nutrient Absorption
  • Stabilize Intestinal Flora
  • Disease Resistance
  • Inhibit Bacteria & Fungal Growth
  • Mycotoxin Control
  • Improve Immune system
  • Anti Inflammatory
  • Antiviral & Antibacterial Properties
  • Prevent Intestinal Disorders
  • Mortality Reduction

Turf

Get The Most From Your Turf Nutrients. For thicker, greener turf on your golf course, use humic acids to boost root health, plant density and overall turf health.

  • Amend Soil & Substrates
  • Optimize Nutrient Uptake
  • Improve Drought Resistance
  • Increase Microbial Activity
