This is a liquid humate - an organically based natural soil conditioner.
Experiments have shown that a Humate increases soil properties in the following ways:
- Increases the cation exchange capacity (CEC) and water holding capacity of the soil.
- Increases organic carbon content and thereby stimulate beneficial microbial activity in the soil.
- Improves soil structure and promotes root growth.
- Improves buffering ability (controls ph) of the soil.
- Promotes nutrient uptake by the plants.
- Adds a chelating nature to the plant nutrients.
- Improves nutrient retention in the root zone and thereby reduces leaching losses of nutrients.
- Promotes insulating properties against heat and cold.
- Promotes plant root growth, their ability to grow deeper into the soil, and developing a stronger more rigid root system for supporting the plant.
Rates of application for Micro Boost: - 5 litres per hectare up to 3 times in the first year - less in the following years.
Micro Boost is best applied during rain or through an irrigation system. - 1:200 - 5mls per litre of water.
Micro Boost can be applied at this rate for foliar and root feeding.
