Abstract

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.

Claims (57)

1 . A semi-soluble humate granule comprising:

a homogenous mixture comprising:

a raw humate comprising about 20% to about about 80% of the homogenous mixture;

a fully soluble humic acid enriched powder comprising about 1% to about 30% of the homogenous mixture;

a seaweed powder comprising about about 0.025% to about 5% of the homogenous mixture;

a zinc sulfate powder comprising about 0.025% to about 5% of the homogenous mixture;

a sulfur sulfate powder comprising about 0.025% to about 5% of the homogenous mixture;

a magnesium sulfate powder comprising about 0.025% to about 5% of the homogenous mixture;

a manganese sulfate powder comprising about 0.025% to about 5% of the homogenous mixture;

a ferrous sulfate powder comprising about 0.025% to about 5% of the homogenous mixture;

a copper sulfate powder comprising about 0.001% to about 2% of the homogenous mixture;

a borate powder comprising about 0.001% to about 2% of the homogenous mixture;

a sodium molybdate powder comprising about 0.01% to about 1.0% of the homogenous mixture; and

wherein the homogenous mixture is granulated to form the semi-soluble humate granule having a pH of about 3.5 to about 8.5.

2 . The semi-soluble humate granule of claim 1 , wherein the homogenous mixture further comprises a binder comprising about 0.25% to about 5% of the homogenous mixture.

3 . The semi-soluble humate granule of claim 2 , wherein the binder is bentonite clay.

4 . The semi-soluble humate granule of claim 1 , wherein the seaweed powder is a sea kelp powder.

5 . The semi-soluble humate granule of claim 1 , wherein the homogenous mixture further comprises a rock phosphate powder comprising about 1% to about 50% of the homogenous mixture.

6 . The semi-soluble humate granule of claim 1 , wherein the homogenous mixture further comprises a dormant microbial community composition powder.

7 . The semi-soluble humate granule of claim 6 , wherein the dormant microbial community composition powder includes at least one species selected from a group of genera consisting of: Acetobacter, Agrobacterium, Aquifex, Arthrobacter, Azoarcus, Azorhizobium, Azospirillum, Azotobacter, Bacillus, Beijerinckia, Burkholderia, Chlorobium, Chloroflexus, Chryseobacterium, Enterococcus, Escherichia, Flavobacterium, Flexibacter, Frankia, Gloeobacter, Gluconacetobacter, Halobacterium, Herbaspirillum, Lactobacillus, Leptonema, Mycobacterium, Paenibacillus, Phyllobacterium, Planctomyces, Pseudomonas, Rhizobia, Rhizobium, Rickettsia, Rhodocyclus, Sinorhizobium, Sphingomonas, Streptomyces, Synechococcus Thermotoga, Thermus , and Trichoderma.

8 . The semi-soluble humate granule of claim 1 , wherein:

the raw humate comprises about 71.29% of the homogenous mixture;

the fully soluble humic acid enriched powder comprises about 17% of the homogenous mixture;

the sulfur sulfate powder comprises about 2.0% of the homogenous mixture;

the magnesium sulfate powder comprises about 1.5% of the homogenous mixture;

the manganese sulfate powder comprises about 1.5% of the homogenous mixture;

the ferrous sulfate powder comprises about 1.0% of the homogenous mixture;

a binder comprising a bentonite clay powder, wherein the bentonite clay powder comprises about 1.0% of the homogenous mixture;

the copper sulfate powder comprises about 0.5% of the homogenous mixture;
