Our unique fertilisers are made with a base rich in humates – natural substances that support soil biology, improve structure and make nutrients easier for roots to reach.
Once applied, they get to work supporting soil microbes, unlocking minerals reserves in the ground, and helping roots dig deeper and stronger. That means more dry matter, healthier plants, and longer-lasting improvements to the field.
Instead of adding a separate mineral pack, we use humates as the foundation of every fertiliser grade. These organic compounds improve the soil’s ability to hold onto nutrients and make trace elements already present more available to the plant.
Humates support microbial life and improve the structure and crumb of the soil. They boost the natural cycling of nutrients like calcium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus – helping roots reach more of what’s already there. The presence of fulvic acids also enhances nutrient transport within the plant, supporting more efficient uptake.
They also help buffer the soil environment, protecting against sharp changes in pH and reducing the risk of root stress from salts or sudden nutrient release associated with traditional fertilisers.
This means better uptake, better utilisation, and a healthier soil that works harder for you.
Nitrogen is vital – but only if it stays where you put it. That’s why all our grades containing urea now include protected nitrogen, using a urease inhibitor to reduce loss through volatilisation. This means better consistency, fewer losses to the air, and more nitrogen available when your crop needs it.
It also helps meet compliance targets and is particularly useful in early spring or dry conditions when losses can be higher.
All HumberPalmers fertilisers are manufactured as complete homogeneous granules. Each granule of fertiliser contains macro and micro nutrients together with humates, Sulphur and Trace Elements.
