Peat-Select Organic Peat Soil Conditioner is organic matter that has a positive effect on the physical, chemical, and biological reactions of the soil leading to an increase in soil fertility. Peat is comprised of Humic Acid and Fulvic Acid, which are proven to promote root strength and develop beneficial microbial activity. Simply Peat-Select and Humate-Select helps release beneficial nutrients like Nitrogen, Iron, Potassium, etc. that are abundant in the soil but are not available for the plant to uptake. The biggest visual result seen after a Peat-Select application is the grass turns a deep green color without promoting faster top-growth.
What is Humate and Peat?
Humus is the end product of decayed vegetable matter. Humate is humus that was formed in pre-historic swamps and rain forests and composted over millions of years.
Why Use Humate and Peat?
Humate and Peat contains large quantities of trace minerals and is rich in humic acids. Without humus and the humic acids it contains plants cannot grow and survive.
There are three types of humic acids: Humic, Ulmic, and Fulvic. Each is essential in its own distinct way.
1. Humic acid enables plants to extract nutrients from the soil.
2. Ulmic acid stimulates and increases plant root growth.
3. Fulvic acid helps plants overcome stress caused by pests, dry weather, cutting, etc.
Soil is the top layer of the Earth in which plants grow and is a renewable resource if properly maintained. Agricultural history has taught growers that soil organic matter (humate) is a key ingredient to soil fertility.
Peat is very important for farmers and gardeners, who mix it into soil to improve its structure and to increase acidity. One of the most important property of peat is retaining moisture in soil when it is dry and yet preventing the excess of water from killing roots when it is wet.
Physical Benefits:
1. Dispersion of clay in compact soils.
2. Cohesion of sandy soils.
3. Increase in soil permeability.
4. Increase in the soils capacity to retain water.
5. Reduction of water evaporation from soils.
Chemical Benefits:
1. Increases the capacity of cationic exchange.
2. Fosters the transportation of microelements up to the plant roots.
3. Easier absorption of nutrients.
4. Beneficial chelating effect on Iron, Magnesium, Zinc, and Copper.
5. Reduces the salinity in soil by sequestering Na+.
