The Concept

Proven Research

Independent research has confirmed the following HumberPalmers benefits :-

  • Out-perform the best mineral fertilisers by up to 35% in terms of increased dry matter yield.
  • 25% higher take-up of applied nitrogen, phosphate and potash compared with high quality mineral fertiliser.
  • Considerably lowers soil and plant nitrate content.
    Imperative when caring for the environment.
    Essential under the Water Directive Rules.
    Increases Trace Element levels.

HumberPalmers is the complete fertiliser for use in order to meet the environmental objectives desired by Defra in the 21st century.

Trace Elements

Wide spectrum of available Trace Elements are contained in all grades of HumberPalmers benefiting the soil, plants and animals.

These include:

SODIUM • BORON • IRON • ZINC • SELENIUM COPPER • MANGANESE • COBALT • MOLYBDENUM • CALCIUM •

Independent farm trials have confirmed the use of HumberPalmers has helped to increase levels of trace elements enabling farmers to reduce the need of expensive mineral supplements and also reducing veterinary bills. Specific trace element deficiencies should be treated separately once identified.

Humic Substances

The specialist granulation process of HumberPalmers combines highly beneficial complex humic substances with mineral nutrients. Humic substances are best described as nature’s plant vitamins.

Sulphur

All grades contain sulphur acknowledged by Defra and leading Universities as essential for amino acid production – cysteine and methionine, - being the catalyst for the improved uptake of applied nitrogen and potash, increasing true protein and reducing nitrate levels in crops and soil reserves.

With levels of atmospheric deposition having declined by over 80% in the last 20 years, sulphur is now regarded as the 4th major nutrient for many crops.
