Nowadays there is an uprise of interest to humic fertilizers throughout the world, i.e. humates. Humic compounds, which are physiologically active substances, regulate and enhance metabolism in plants and soil. Humic substances have been found not only to increase the yield and weight of the fruit and speed of the ripening time, but also to improve the quality of products, increasing the content of sugar, vitamins and reducing the quantity of nitrates.

In 2009-2010 a group of scientists from the "GeoFert" LLC developed a new production technology for producing ecologically pure humic, organic-mineral fertilizer with microelements “GeoHumate” (mark “a” – liquid 12%), using Leonardite(lignite) of the Akhaltsikhe deposit (Georgia) as row material. Compared to other organic products, Leonardite is distinguished by high content of humic acids (85%), as it is the final product of humification which lasts for about 70 million years. 

The products of humic substances, macro and micro-elements in the humic organic-mineral fertilizer “Geo Humat” (mark “a” liquid 12%) have a stimulating effect on growth of plants and provide for:

•      Normalization of physiological and biochemical processes in plant cells;

•      Increased leaf area index;

•      Increased intensity of photosynthesis and breath;

•      Regulation of transpiration rate and water use rate;

•      Lowering of deficit of consumable forms of micro-elements.



Fertilizer "GeoHumate" has the following important effects:

•      Sustainable increase of yield of all crops (yield of crops is increased over 15-20% in general).

•      Increases content of nutrients in fruits:

-    Vitamin C – by 5-8%;
-    Carotene – by 3-5%;
-    Protein – by 7-10%;
-    Sugar – by 6-8%.

•    Increases resistance of plants to ionizing radiation, drought, and freeze; prevention of penetration of heavy metals from ground waters and soil; lowering of nitrate concentrations while treating plants with nitrogen manure.

•      Effective nutrition of plants with macro-elements (NPK) and micro-elements (B, Co, Mo, Mn, Zn, Cu, I).

•      Improves soil structure and increased content of humus in soils. Rehabilitation of soil fertility.

•      Contribution to forming the lumpy structure of the soil, as well as to decaying of less digestible mineral substances, improving of buffering characteristics of soil and concentration of carbonic acid around the plant roots which is needed for construction of plant tissues together with water, etc.

•      The influence is stipulated by different simultaneous processes: hormonal action; facilitation of receipt of mineral substances by plants; active participation in metabolic processes in plant cells by preliminary enzymatic degradation which leads to development of stimulating compounds.

All the above mentioned factors in general influence the productivity and quality of the yield.
