What is the recommended dose of Leonardite per hectare?
The recommended dose of leonardite to apply per hectare to our crops will depend largely on the type of plantation, the age of the tree or crop, and the characteristics of the soil.
Our Leonardite is ideal for vegetable crops, citrus fruits, fruit trees, dryland farming, etc., both in agricultural soil cultivation and in potted plants or home gardens.

Benefits of Using Leonardite in Agricultural Plantations
There are many benefits to using humic substances in your agricultural plantation. Their main advantage is how they naturally facilitate the absorption and utilization of nutrients by your crops. Fulvic acids are natural chelates. When you introduce the micronutrients your crops need into their environment, the fulvic acids form bonds to protect them from reacting with other ions in the plant environment and potentially being dominated by them. By binding to the chelate, nutrients can travel through the plant roots to their tissues, where the chelating agent can release them.
Chelation makes insoluble nutrients soluble, increasing their bioavailability for crops. In addition to providing more nutrients to your crops, humates promote root growth. More roots mean more pathways for nutrient absorption for your crops, and within those pathways, the chelates transport and protect the essential components for healthy and resilient crops.
