Eco Growth Humate Humic Acid 20L Fertiliser
- Active ingredient
- Humic acid
Eco-Humate is a concentrated liquid humus soil conditioner. It is a liquid form of humus, the natural brown substance found in fertile loamy soils.
This liquid humate is a soil amendment for the purpose of water retention, nutrient buffering and boosting microbes.
Eco-Humate physically increases soil fertility by holding fertiliser as a natural chelate for increased plant availability, whilst feeding the plant and microbial processes that build soil humus through plant root/microbial interaction.
Humus increases water retention in light, sandy soils by lining soil particles with an absorbent carbon sponge. Similarly, heavy soils are loosened by pushing clay particles apart, allowing infiltration and movement of air and water.
Eco-Humate has both cation- and anion-exchange properties, meaning it can retain a wide range of plant nutrients.
Eco-Humate speeds the availability of lime and gypsum pre or post-application; slows nitrogen loss when mixed with urea; increases the availability of phosphorus in high phosphorus buffering index (PBI) and high aluminium soils; and increases potassium & trace element retention.

Common Questions
What is Eco-Humate?
Eco-Humate is a liquid form of humus, the natural brown substance found in fertile loamy soils. It is a soil amendment for the purpose of water retention, nutrient buffering and boosting microbes.
Can I apply it through irrigation or spray equipment?
Yes. It is 100% soluble for use through fertigation or spray equipment.
What rates are recommended?
Ecogrowth lists 10 L/ha 4 times per year or as required for horticulture, 1-5 L/ha at seeding or prior to rain for broadacre, 15 L/ha 4 times per year or as required for turf, and 10 ml/m² every 21-30 days or as needed for home gardens.
How does it help fertiliser work?
Eco-Humate has both cation- and anion-exchange properties, meaning it can retain a wide range of plant nutrients. It holds fertiliser as a natural chelate for increased plant availability.
