Clean Liquid Carbon or Humates
Increased Fertilizer Efficiency & Improved Soil Biology Liquid Carbon or Hume is a unique Group of organic acids that increases fertilizer efficiency and helps improve soil biology for extended agronomic benefits. These two important features allow you to extract more short- and long-term value from your fertility program.
Studies have shown that Liquid Carbon not only increases uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium by plants, it also helps retain those nutrients in the soil, resulting in greater nitrogen retention and less leaching.
It is best know for reducing weed pressure at 2 gallons per acre, at high volumes we have a reduction of weed and more mellow soil and better adsorption rates of nutrients for crops.
In addition to greater nutrient uptake and nitrate nitrogen retention in the soil, Liquid Carbon works chemically, biologically and physically to provide many other benefits that improve soil and crops
One of the best raw material sources in the world comes from Canada. Their key features include abilities to increase soil water retention, provide available carbon to soil (promotes growth of living cells), ch-elate cations in soils (High carbon exchange capacity), and solubilized hydrocarbons into water (similar to surfactant).
Carbon/Humic improves quality and texture of soils, reduces soil erosion, and improves water retention. Humic also improves soil aggregation and increases growth of soils’ microorganisms. Due to its high cation exchange capacity, calcium, magnesium, iron and other useful metals in soil are cheated to be uptake by plants. Phosphorus and nitrogen is increased with the presence of Humic in soil. Humic helps plants storing solar energy and supplying it to the cell when required, increasing plants’ resistance to drought and frost. Humic increases penetrability of cell membranes facilitating transport of nutrients, and accelerates plants’ respiration. Humic also helps with isolating and degrading pesticides in soil. Root mass and plant growth is enhanced resulting in higher yields of crops, fruits and vegetation.
Humic can be used as a livestock feed supplement, improving nutrients uptake and growth of beneficial microbes in the digestive system. This results in better growth, health and yield of livestock.
Liquid Hume is compatible with many liquid fertilizers, fertilizers, micro-nutrients, pesticides and water.
Liquid Hume is best known for increasing plant nutrient uptake and root development while also improving soil quality. It also may be effective material to increase and enhance microbial activity for the remediation of soil problems.

Liquid Humates Beneficial?
Liquid Humates serves*… as a source of nutrients to plants, to activate the micro flora and micfaunak organisms, to improve soil tilth, aeration and moisture retention, as a chelation effect on the uptake of micro-nutrients.Why are Liquid Carbon/Humates Beneficial?
- Buffer salts, reducing burning
- Aids in rapid water and nutrient translocation
- Provide organic catalysts, such as polyphenols to aid plant respiration
- Increase stimulation of plant roots, formation and growth
- Increases water retention; less leaching of fertilizers
- Buffer plants from high concentrations of sodium and harmful salts
- Form bond with fertilizers, help prevent “tie up” by ions in soil
- Move fertilizer into plant by enhancing the C.E.C. of soils
- Promote the conversion of elements into forms available to the crop
- Increases the phosphorus availability; breaks the bond with other elements
- increases the osmotic process and increase ion exchange in a solution
- increase permeability of plant membranes, promoting nutrients uptake
- increase protein and mineral contents of most crops
- Helps produce thicker, greener and healthier crops
- Liquid Carbon/Humate is not a cure-all but can be beneficial.
- Can be added to most agricultural applications. One to eight quarts per acre should be added to all fertilizers (conventional or organic) applications to increases nutrients uptake.
- One to four quarts per acre should be added to any foliar fertilizer to increase cell wall permeability and to help buffer against burn.
- Higher rates may be used on soil problems, high salt content, etc.
- Liquid Carbon is compatible with most insecticides, herbicides, fungicides liquid fertilizers and other folair nutrients.
Liquid Carbon – benefits
How to benefit the most Liquid Carbon
Four point program.
- Plant nutrients must be available in some form or the other. Once those nutrients are provided, we help to make them available to the plant.
- The structure of the soil must be in good shape as well. The liquid carbon programs help the soil to be all it can be.
- The micro life of the soil must be in good shape and maintained; help build a friendly environment for a healthy micro life in the soil.
- Applying our foliar products provide natural growth stimulator’s to the growing plant to take advantage and make the most of its growing conditions.
Farmers goal is to help achieve the least expensive manner and in an effective profitable way.
The benefits of the four point program, yields get stronger each year. The soil structure improves. The cation exchange will improve. Whereas on other programs, yields tend to be good for a few years and then they start to drop off. Insects and other plant problems seem to become greater. In this program things improve and signs of problems do not appear as great and generally they will work out naturally or with less expense of correcting the problem. Insects and plant diseases are nature’s way of eliminating a crop that is no longer compatible to the environment. Four point programs help to keep the proper environment for good plant health and profitable production. Any crop harvested from the soil is removing nutrients; we must replace them as we use them. Nutrient exchange in the soil requires a micro life to maintain this exchange.
The big question is how much will this program increase yields? Remember the basics, the nutrient that is least meeting the need is the most limiting factor for production. Products do two things, first it helps the plant to cope with nutrient deficiencies. Secondly, products stimulate the plant to use the nutrients that are available very efficiently. How great the nutrient deficiencies are determine yield potential. For an example, water is one nutrient, no water no yield, some water some yield and we can improve on that little water and so on. And in ideal conditions, the limiting factor is the bred in yield ability of the plant, we can improve that by stimulating the plant even to better production. With our low cost, we become an insurance factor that producers need to give them the edge.
The expense of this program is one that will make most crops more profitable. Even in dry land conditions where yields are low due to low rain fall other then desert conditions, our products will help increase production and improve profits. We believe if it does not make money, do not do it.
Help all of agriculture to achieve excellent results in the least expensive manner and in an effective profitable way. From the high plains wheat farmer to the valley vegetable farmer, our products will improve profits. For this reason many are now adding products to complete their program. Liquid Carbon is essential to all farmers.
General Foliar application for Liquid Carbon – 12%
Early in the growing period or when new plant growth is taking place with enough leaf present to absorb a foliar application, apply from (1 gallon) 128 ounces per acre. We have found that following the first application with a second application in about ten days of 1 gallon per acre improved results even more. Two smaller applications are better than one large application.
If the crop is for hay or pasture, it is very important to do your best to apply the second early application, the hay production for the rest of the season is just better. Then after each cutting apply 1 gallon per acre when there is sufficient new growth for foliar application. If it is for pasture, apply 1 gallon every 30 days if you have good growing conditions. If the growing conditions are unfavorable such as being too dry for plant growth, do not apply. But when it is applied it will make all the difference for the plant.
For small grain such as wheat, barley, oats, apply 1 gallon on the first application after the plant has sufficient amount of foliage to absorb a foliar application. A second application should be applied just before the plant starts to joint. This will help improve fill and test weight.
For corn and other similar crops, apply two 1 gallon per acre applications about t14 days apart after the plant has sufficient amount of foliage.
For beans, apply two 1 gallon applications per acre about two weeks apart after there is sufficient amount of foliage for good absorption. If possible apply 1-2 gallons just ahead of the bloom stage.
For soybeans we recommend treating the seed either ahead of time or at planting time. If possible, early in the spring apply Concentrate Liquid Carbon at one gallon per acre, one gallon of molasses and two quarts (1.3# per account) of our Sea Weed Extract. When the plant is four weeks apply 1 gallon of Liquid Carbon per acre. Follow that with a second application within two weeks.
In all of the above situations, if only one application is all one can manage to accomplish, the single application will perform very well. However, we suggest a small test plot with the second application to prove to you its benefits.
Improve your success with foliar application.
Most plants will use nutrients from foliar application more efficiently than being fed through the root system. Studies have shown that on average, less than 50% of the plant nutrients that are absorbed by the roots may never reach the above ground portion of the plant. Studies have also shown that only about 65% of the fertilizer applied to the soil is used by the plant. Just by using a foliar treatment of Liquid Carbon (Humates) the percent of fertilizer the plant can use through the root system will increase. By combining the increased nutrient uptake and the growth stimulation that Liquid Carbon (Humates) provides, yields are increased. Producers are further finding out that by adding some of their fertilizer needs along with the Liquid Carbon in the tank mix, yields are helped even more. Here are a few suggestions to improve foliar applications even more.
Most plants have the highest absorption rate with tank mix of a pH of 5.8 to 6.2. Water in most cases has a pH of about 7.0 which is too high for good absorption. Whether one is spraying with an herbicide or with plant nutrients, a good pH meter is money well spent. To adjust the pH down, one may add a little vinegar. Caution is required as it may take less vinegar then one may think. Having too low a pH is just as bad as having too high of a pH.
After adjusting the tank mix pH, one must check the plants that are being sprayed. If the fluid is beading up on the leaf, absorption of the mix is going to be poorly absorbed and results may be disappointing. The addition of a surfactant may be required to allow the plant to become wet by your treatment. Follow the directions on your surfactant label and if you are using other products, follow their recommendations concerning the proper surfactant and usage.
Using a very fine mist or spray may prevent one from seeing the beading up on the plant. Very close examination is required.
In general an application rate of at least 15 to 20 gallons of fluid per acre on most crops gives better results over lower applications. This requires more stops to refill and more time is involved, but the results will speak for themselves.
Liquid Carbon greatly improves the uptake of other nutrients or herbicides that are being applied. Plants like Liquid Carbon, will open up to absorb it. Whether the tank mix has herbicides or plant nutrients, they will follow the Liquid Humates into the plant and penetrate the plant cells even down to the root ends at a very high rate. Many are able to cut rates by as much as 25% and achieve excellent results. Caution should be used when applying herbicides when non-targeted plants are present. The extra uptake of the herbicide on non-targeted plants may absorb more herbicide than they can tolerate. Always mix a small amount in a jar to insure that your complete tank mix is compatible.
Other plant nutrients may be mixed with Liquid Carbon. We suggest running a small test with all ingredients to ensure that they are compatible together. Some ingredients may separate or gel up together. If at all possible, use Liquid Carbon with other plant nutrients. Liquid Carbon will increase the uptake of those nutrients. It is for this reason many companies, such as Monsanto, use Liquid Carbon as their base to carry their products.
General seed application for Liquid Carbon (Humates)
Liquid Carbon (Humates) may be applied directly to the seed in a mist or in a manner in which all the seed is covered and is not too wet.
Another popular method is top dressing directly to the seed as one is planting. Side dressing as one is planting is good also, but the plant for obvious reasons will not respond as quickly to the benefits of the Liquid Humates until the plant comes into contact with it. Depending what one is trying to achieve, ½ gallon per acre may be used.
General application for Concentrated Liquid (Humates)
Concentrated Liquid Carbon is great when applied directly to soils that have an organic matter of less than 5%. Soils with organic matter 5% and above will generally have sufficient amounts of natural carbon in them. Concentrated Liquid Carbon contains liquid carbon fractions that stimulate the micro life of the soil.
Apply at least one to two gallons along with one to two gallons of molasses per acre before the growing season and another 1 gallon of each after the growing season. It is best to apply before the crop is growing or before it is planted. Time is needed to allow the carbon (humite) to work down into the soil, releasing nutrients and conditioning the soil. Fall and early spring application is great for perennial crops. These crops generally develop their root system for the next growing season in the early fall or early spring.
If you have not studied the benefits of the micro life in the soils, you should. Concentrated Liquid Carbon aids and benefits the friendly micro life in most soils. To boost the micro life even more, add one gallon per acre of molasses with the carbon application. We prefer liquid molasses over dry because the dry molasses has a carrier that takes up more room than the water does in liquid molasses. Plus the cost of drying and the addition of the carrier just add to the total cost of the end product.
Mycorrhizal Fungi Application
Mycorrhizal fungi are friendly fungi found living on the plant root system. These fungi act as root extenders. They draw plant nutrients to the plant to help feed the plant and in return the plant feeds the fungi. The fungi cannot live without a living plant. The foliar application of Liquid Carbon increases the sugar content of the plant. These sugars are the ones that feed the fungi and this will greatly increase the colonization of the fungi on the roots of the plant. The two work together in a good overall program. Mycorrhizal fungi are known for making phosphorus and nitrogen available to the plant. This product should be applied directly to the soil or to the seed of the plant at planting time. On perennial plants only one application is generally necessary as the living root system will maintain the fungi for years especially if Liquid Carbon is used on a regular program. When Mycorrhizal fungi are used with carbon products the soil nutrient holding capacity increases over time. This product is direct shipped from the manufacturer to insure top quality of your shipment.
To achieve the four point program we recommend the following:
- Test the soil and determine what nutrients are needed for the crop and yield goal. Develop a plan as to how and when to provide those nutrients. These nutrients may be applied dry, liquid or foliar or all three. You can use commercial fertilizer, alternative nutrients, or organic forms to achieve the total nutrients needed.
- The key in good soil structure is making sure such elements as calcium, magnesium, and sulfur are proper. Treating the soil without the proper ratios or amounts of these elements is like treating symptoms rather than the cause.
- Developing the micro life back will help troubled soils maintain proper structure, plus help provide plant nutrients to the plant when needed. To do this, we recommend 2 gallons of Concentrate Liquid Carbon of 12% per acre, one to two gallons of molasses per acre. Apply early spring and again in the fall of the year. Each year yields trend to get progressively stronger with this program. If your soil is testing above 5% organic matter, then the addition of Concentrate Liquid Carbon is not necessary. The cation exchange of the soil will improve with the addition of Concentrate Liquid Carbon. (This can be done with No-Till applications as well as convention tillage). Spring and Fall treatments are a must for increasing crop yields .
- Foliar application of our Liquid Carbon will stimulate the plant to be aggressive in using the above program very efficiently. Treating the seed with both Liquid Carbon (Humates) and Mycorrhizal fungi will boost the plant even more. Plus, the organic matter in the soil will increase with most grass type crops such as wheat, rye, oats, etc…
The soil is the foundation of a crop. The soil is where the majority of the plant lives. If the majority of the plant is below the surface, we can then assume that if we have a good growing environment for the roots, the top growth would be much better. More than 50% of the plant mass is below the surface of the ground. Organic matter is the major single factor to having a good soil that will hold plant nutrients, hold water, make the nutrients available to the plant and so on. Building the organic matter in the soil requires 30 tons of dry plant material per acre to convert into 1% organic matter. This is with the assumption that 1/3 of the total plant material will convert to organic matter. Organic matter in the soil provides the Humates component. It is easy to understand why the additions of Liquid Carbon improve the soil both structurally while improving the micro life of the soil. Soils that have a pH of above 7.2 will benefit from the application of both dry Humates and Liquid Carbon.Low pH soils will respond very well to Concentrated Liquid Carbon. By the additions of Carbon, we can build a temporary environment in the soil that will help the soil respond as if it has a high level of organic matter. Applying as much as one gallon of concentrate Liquid Carbon per acre is very cost effective. Plus it is a better choice as compared to applying 30 tons of dry plant matter per acre. If your soil has more than 5% organic matter, then adding of Concentrated Liquid Carbon is not beneficial, as your soil is already producing enough Humates on its own. Soils with a lower pH will not respond very well to dry Humates. Dry Humates must be turned into a liquid to benefit both the soil and the plant. This is done by raising the pH.
Liquid Carbon will stimulate the plant to grow a great deal, while at the same time we are drawing nutrients from the soil. We need to test the soil to keep up with nutrient uptake. Whenever possible, apply Liquid Carbon directly to the seed, this will always benefit new plants for a fast start.
Hay producers are reporting faster re-growth on treated hay.
Seed treating is the most cost effective method.
