PROCESS FOR MAKING A SEMI-SOLUBLE HUMIC GRANULE
A semi-soluble humate granule includes a homogenous powder mixture. The homogenous mixture includes a raw humate, a fully soluble humic acid enriched powder, a seaweed powder, a zinc sulfate powder, a sulfur sulfate powder, a magnesium sulfate powder, a manganese sulfate powder, a ferrous sulfate powder, a copper sulfate powder, a borate powder, and a sodium molybdate powder. The homogenous mixture is granulated to form the semi-soluble humate granule having a pH of about 3.5 to about 8.5.
