HUBEY HUMIN EXTRAKT is a concentrated organic biostimulant or plant stimulant based on active humic acids (potassium humate), which increases the fertility of the beds or soil. It also reduces plant stress and increases yield and harvest quality.
HUBEY HUMIN EXTRACT is extracted only from selected sources of German lignite with a low pollutant content and a high degree of oxidation (which is crucial for bioactivity).
These are extracted from Leonardite, a sedimentary layer of soft lignite close to the surface which has bound complex molecular building blocks for several million years.
Suitable Leonardite contains humic acids in very high concentrations; it consists of organic substances that have not turned into coal. There are various sources of humic acids, but none can compare with the quality mined from German Leonardite. The biological activity is about five times higher than that of all other humic substances.
Humic acids stimulate and promote root and plant growth, leading to higher crop yields. Humic acids improve the soil structure and increase the water retention capacity.
In order to increase soil fertility during plant cultivation, organic material or humus must be added. The direct addition of humic acids achieves a much higher concentration than is possible with organic compost or manure.
However, we are not talking here about nutrients such as N (nitrogen), P (phosphorus) and K (potassium) but about the properties at molecular level.
HUBEY HUMIN EXTRAKT does not compete with fertilizers, but complements them and increases their availability for the plants.
Humic acid acts as a natural chelator* for trace elements and nutrients in the soil. The chelation of macro and micro nutrients results in improved nutrient uptake for the plants. Without the presence of chelates, iron, copper, zinc and manganese ions (along with other trace elements) are present as insoluble hydroxides. The humic acids keep the trace elements available for the plant.
Humic acids have a threefold effect on soil and plants: they improve the soil structure, increase the fixing properties of the soil through chemical processes and stimulate the plant's metabolism and the activity of microorganisms.
HUBEY HUMIN EXTRACT in combination with HUBEY CALCIUM BENTONITE form so-called clay-humus complexes which, like small nutrient reactors, form nutrient deposits that cannot be flushed out.
These valuable clay-humus complexes bind enzymes, vitamins and other active substances like a small “work station” without being washed out, and can constantly release nutrient ions and water molecules to the plant roots as required.
Clay-humus complexes can also balance the acid-base ratio or pH value in the soil.
The humic substances decompose very slowly. This creates a stable and durable crumb structure, which forms the basis for fertile soil.
The air and water balance increases and the activity of microorganisms increases. In this way, plants find optimal conditions in a sustainable and permanently fertile soil full of life.
HUMIN EXTRACT = Potassium humate
Extracted potassium salt of humic acids
APPLICATION:
Easy to dose water-soluble concentrate
Dissolve 2 - 3 gr. approx. a heaped teaspoonful in 10 liters of water and water the plants with it every 2 to 3 weeks.
* In complex chemistry, the term chelate complexes - or chelates for short - refers to compounds in which a multidentate ligand (has more than one free electron pair) occupies at least two coordination sites (binding sites) of the central atom. In this case, the ligand is called a chelator (Greek Χηλή, chele for “crab claw”[1]). The central atom is usually a doubly positively charged metal ion (such as Fe2+, Cu2+). Ligands and the central atom are linked via coordinative bonds. This means that the binding electron pair is provided solely by the ligand.
