High-Purity Sodium Humate Powder from China Suppliers & Factory: Soil Conditioner & Animal Feed Additive
Product Description
Our Sodium Humate is a refined, soluble sodium salt of humic acids, extracted from high-grade Leonardite. Presenting as a lustrous black powder, it is concentrated with bioactive humic and fulvic substances. This 100% natural organic product is fundamental for revitalizing soil ecosystems—improving structure, enhancing microbial activity, and chelating nutrients for optimal plant availability. It also plays a key role as a feed supplement, promoting digestion and nutrient absorption in animals. It represents a core input for productive and sustainable modern farming.

- Nutrient Efficiency Expert Chelates and mobilizes soil nutrients, preventing fixation and increasing plant uptake.
- Plant Growth Promoter Stimulates seed germination, root development (especially root hairs), and overall plant vigor.
- Stress Mitigator Improves plant resilience against drought, salinity, and temperature extremes.
- Animal Performance Enhancer Boosts feed palatability, digestion, nutrient utilization, and gut health in livestock/poultry/aquaculture.
- Environmentally Safe A natural, non-toxic, and biodegradable input for sustainable practices.
Application
- Agriculture: As a soil conditioner and organic fertilizer base for grains, fruits, vegetables, cash crops, and in greenhouse cultivation.
- Animal Husbandry: As a functional feed additive for poultry, swine, ruminants, and aquaculture to support health and growth.
- Horticulture & Turf Management: For improving lawn health, golf courses, and garden/landscape soils.
- Environmental Remediation: Used in soil rehabilitation projects for degraded, contaminated, or eroded land.
Regular Packing
- Standard: 25 kg woven bag with a sealed plastic inner liner.
- Alternatives: 20 kg bag, 50 kg bag, or 1 MT jumbo bag (FIBC).
- Custom packaging solutions are available upon request.
How to Use
- Soil Base Application: Apply 5-15 kg per acre, mixing with other fertilizers or broadcasting evenly before tilling.
- Fertigation/Drip Irrigation: Dissolve 1-3 kg per acre in water with constant agitation. Apply through irrigation systems.
- Foliar Spray: Dilute to a 0.1%-0.3% concentration (1-3 g/L). Spray on plant leaves during cooler parts of the day.
- Feed Additive: Mix at 0.5%-2.0% into the total feed ration. Consult an animal nutritionist for precise formulation.
- Recommendation: Always conduct a preliminary small-scale test to determine the optimal dosage for your specific conditions.
Advantages
- Improves Yield & Quality: Leads to higher crop productivity and improved produce quality.
- Reduces Input Costs: Enhances fertilizer and feed efficiency, offering a strong return on investment (ROI).
- Rebuilds Soil Health: Increases organic matter and fosters a thriving soil biome over time.
- Versatile Utility: One product with multi-sector benefits across agriculture and animal production.

Storage Method
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep bags tightly sealed on pallets and away from walls to prevent moisture absorption and caking. Protect from direct sunlight and rain. Under proper conditions, the product maintains long-term stability and efficacy. Keep separate from strong oxidizing agents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the main difference between Sodium Humate and Potassium Humate?
A: The primary difference is the associated cation (Sodium vs. Potassium). Sodium Humate generally has higher solubility and is often more cost-effective for soil and feed applications where extra potassium is not specifically required. Potassium Humate provides a source of soluble potassium along with humic acids.
Q: Is Sodium Humate safe for organic farming?
A: Yes, when derived from natural sources like Leonardite and processed without synthetic chemicals, it is widely accepted and certified for use in organic agriculture under various international standards (consult your local certifier).
Q: How quickly can I see results?
A: Effects on soil are cumulative and improve over time. Enhanced plant vigor and greener leaves can often be observed within a few weeks. Improvements in soil structure are more long-term.
Q: Can it be mixed with all fertilizers or pesticides?
A: It is compatible with most common fertilizers and agrochemicals. However, always perform a jar compatibility test before large-scale tank mixing. Avoid mixing with highly acidic formulations or solutions containing high concentrations of divalent cations (like Calcium) without testing, as this may cause flocculation.
Q: Why is my Sodium Humate solution sometimes brown/reddish instead of black?
A: This is normal and indicates a high content of fulvic acids, which are lighter in color and highly bioactive. It does not indicate a quality issue.
