Earthlee is concentrated Humate Powder that restores your soil.
About Earthlee
The facts about our Humate powder that restores your soil quickly.
- Earthlee is biodegradable and environment-friendly.
- It frees locked nutrients in soils. This means that nutrients that you would need from a specialized foliar spray are made available to the plant.
- It encourages beneficial micro-organism activity. This is the key to restoring your soil quickly.
- It improves the water-holding capacity of the soil over time.
- It improves soil structure over time.
- Earthlee’s ability to coat onto granular fertilizer reduces the loss of nutrients (leaching).
- It is safe to handle and easy to use on your farm.
- It is a very fine 80% Humate powder free of sodium and heavy metals. It makes it easy to integrate into the soil and safe to grow your crops.
- It is a natural chelating agent.
- It increases the cation exchange capacity
To get how Earthlee works you need to grasp something about Humic Acid and its role in soil restoration. Humic and Fulvic acids are the final break-down constituents of the natural decay of plant and animal materials. These organic acids are found in pre-historic deposits. Humic matter is formed through the chemical and biological humification of plant and animal matter and through the biological activities of micro-organisms. Humic acids are complex molecules that exist naturally in soils, peats, oceans, and freshwaters. One source of humic acids is the sedimentation layers referred to as Leonardite.
Humic acids are found in high concentration in these layers. Leonardite is organic matter, which has not reached the state of coal and differs from soft brown coal by its high oxidation degree, a result of the process of coal formation, and has no value as fuel.
Earthlee (Leonardite) is not a fertilizer. It acts as a conditioner for the soil and as a bio-catalyst and bio-stimulant for the plant. Humic acids are an excellent natural and organic way to provide plants and soil with a concentrated dose of essential nutrients, vitamins and trace elements. Compared to other organic products, Leonardite enhances plant growth (biomass production) and fertility of the soil. Another advantage of Leonardite is its long-term effectiveness, as it does not get consumed as quickly as animal manure, compost or peat. Leonardite decomposes completely, therefore it does not enter into nutritional competition with plants for nutrients like nitrogen. This is not the case with partially decomposed compost, whereby the organic substances in soil are rapidly consumed by microorganisms and mineralized entirely without humus formation.
Application by Planting Hole
Earthlee is a concentrated product and therefore it is effective in minute quantities.
- When you have made the planting hole, you can now add a pinch which is about 2 grams of Earthlee.
- Once this is done, add some topsoil and mix the top-soil and Earthlee thoroughly.
- Reestablish the planting hole and put your crop in the hole and proceeded with the normal planting guide instructions of your crop.
- Water generously to activate Earthlee.
Application by Planting Row
Earthlee is a concentrated product and therefore it is effective in minute quantities.
- When you have made the planting row, you can now add a pinch which is about 20 grams of Earthlee per square meter.
- Once this is done, add some topsoil on the planting row and mix the top-soil and Earthlee thoroughly.
- Reestablish the planting holes on the planting row and put your crop in the hole and proceeded with the normal planting guide instructions of your crop.
- Water generously to activate Earthlee on the planting row.
Reasons to apply Earthlee in your soil!
Humic acids physically modify the structure of the soil, with benefits such as:
- Improved structure of soil: Prevents high water and nutrient losses in light, sandy soils, simultaneously converting them into fruitful soils by way of decomposition. In heavy and compact soils, aeration of soil and water retention is improved; cultivation measures are facilitated.
- Prevents soil cracking, surface water runoff, and soil erosion by increasing the ability of colloids to combine.
- Helps the soil loosen and crumble, and thus increases the aeration of soil as well as soil workability.
- Increases the water holding capacity of soil and thus helps resist drought.
- Darkens the color of the soil and thus helps the absorption of the sun’s energy.
Humic acids chemically change the fixation properties of the soil, with benefits such as:
- Neutralizes both acid and alkaline soils; regulates the pH value of soils.
- Improves and optimizes the uptake of nutrients and water by plants.
- Increases buffering properties of soil.
- Acts as a natural chelator for metal ions under alkaline conditions and promotes their uptake by the roots.
- Becomes rich in both organic and mineral substances essential to plant growth.
- Retains water-soluble inorganic fertilizers in the root zones and reduces leaching.
- Possesses extremely high cation-exchange capacities.
- Promotes the conversion of nutrient elements (N, P, K + Fe, Zn, and other trace elements) into forms available to plants.
- Enhances the uptake of nitrogen by plants.
- Reduces the reaction of phosphorus with Ca, Fe, Mg, and Al and liberates it into a form that is available and beneficial to plants. The productivity of particular mineral fertilizers is increased considerably.
- Liberates carbon dioxide from soil calcium carbonate and enables its use in photosynthesis.
- Helps to eliminate chlorosis due to iron deficiency in plants.
- Reduces the availability of toxic substances in soils.
Humic acids biologically stimulate the plant and the activities of micro-organisms.
- Stimulates plant enzymes and increases their production.
- Acts as an organic catalyst in many biological processes.
- Stimulates growth and proliferation of desirable micro-organisms in the soil.
- Enhances plant’s natural resistance against diseases and pests.
- Stimulates root growth, especially vertically, and enables better uptake of nutrients.
- Increases root respiration and root formation.
- Promotes the development of chlorophyll, sugars, and amino acids in plants and aid in photosynthesis.
- Increases vitamin and mineral content of plants.
- Thickens the cell walls in fruits and prolongs storage time.
- Increases germination and viability of seeds.
- Stimulates plant growth (higher biomass production) by accelerating cell division, increasing the rate of development in root systems, and increasing the yield of dry matter.
- Increases the quality of yields; improves their physical appearance and nutritional value.
