1. What is potassium humate?
Potassium humate is a natural organic mineral fertilizer derived from humus and mainly consists of humic acid and potassium. It is produced through specialized processing and conversion of organic materials such as plant residues and animal manure. Thanks to its outstanding properties, potassium humate is widely applied in agriculture, horticulture, and soil conditioning.

3. Main Features of Potassium Humate
• Potassium humate is sourced from natural organic materials and contains no harmful chemical substances, making it an eco-friendly option for soil conditioning.
• It is readily absorbed by both soil and plants, supporting root growth and improving water utilization efficiency.
• By promoting better soil aggregation, potassium humate improves soil aeration and drainage while helping to alleviate compaction issues.
• It strengthens plants’ resistance to environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, pests, and diseases, enabling healthier growth under challenging conditions.
4. Application Areas of Potassium Humate
• Agricultural sector
Agricultural Use:Potassium humate is extensively applied in agricultural production, particularly in organic farming. It plays a key role in enhancing soil quality, increasing organic matter levels, improving soil buffering capacity, and supporting vigorous plant development.
Crop cultivation :It improves soil fertility, enhances crops’ tolerance to drought and salinity, stimulates root system development, and increases resistance to pests and diseases, leading to higher yields and improved crop quality.
Soil improvement : Potassium humate is highly effective in rehabilitating degraded soils such as continuously cropped land, saline-alkali soils, and sandy soils. It increases soil organic content and improves both aeration and water-holding capacity.
• Horticulture and Greenery
Potassium humate is also widely used in horticulture and urban landscaping to optimize growing conditions and promote healthy growth of lawns, flowers, trees, and other ornamental plants.
Lawns and flowers :By improving soil structure and nutrient availability, lawns and flowers are able to absorb nutrients more efficiently and grow more vigorously.
Fruit tree cultivation :Potassium humate supports root development in fruit trees, enhances tolerance to adverse environments, and improves fruit quality, particularly in arid or saline-alkali regions.
