INVEST® Humic
PROPRIETARY SULFONATED FORMULATION OF HUMIC ACID
Potassium humate derived from the plant active portions
GENERAL INFORMATION
INVEST® Humic derived from the finest and purest source of humic acid is a weathered type of oxidized sub-bituminous coal rich in humic substances. This humic acid is similar to the commonly found Leonardite (lignite coal), but our source contains significantly lower levels of ash and heavy metals.
INVEST® Humic functions as a complexing agent for soil nutrients and maintains the soil nutrients that are more readily available to the plant. Also believed to be a source of energy for the soil microbes to metabolize in the root zone. In addition, it will provide a source of added organic carbon, sulfur and potassium, which are necessary requirements for healthy crops, turf and ornamentals. As both an alkaline and acid soluble it is truly unique. Unlike other humates, it completely dissolves and will not precipitate when added directly to most fertilizer, nutrient and tank mix formulations.
In comparison to conventional humate products, which can cause nozzle-plugging problems, it can be easily applied through fertigation, drip or spray irrigation systems. The product’s unique solubility properties prevent the buildup of insoluble humic sludges that normally clog lines under low flow. As a formulation component and in tank mixes.
INVEST® Humic can increase the cation exchange capacity to retain water and nutrients, importantly to magnify the root ability and take up nutrients. In heavy and compact soil, it can work with fungi to create a crumb structure for better water oxygen and nutrients intake and improve root penetration.
INVEST® Humic could buffer the pH and convert the elements and nutrients into absorbable form under alkaline soil conditions furthermore bonded and immobilized the toxins elements such as aluminum and heavy metals.

INVEST® Humic can be used in all agricultural applications including soil, fertigation, greenhouse, hydroponic, seed treatment, gardens, lawns, clones and cuttings, compost tea activation and more. It can be used in diluted irrigation water or applied directly at the moments of transplant as following methods.
Soil Application: Use as soil conditioner 1-2 Kgs per hectare in crop season.
Hydro Culture: 50 Grams in stock solution according to crop growth.
Seed Soaking: 200 Grams per 100 Kgs for pure seeds free from dirt and dust.
INVEST® Humic is a patented product designed to provide superior solubility over the entire useful pH range and can be formulated with both basic and acidic fertilizers. It is compatible with most foliar fertilizers and plant protection products. Before tank mix, observe pesticide label direction and make jar a test for compatibility. It also compatible with phosphate blends of starter fertilizers.
