Potassium humate is organic in nature. It is produced by extracting humic substances from naturally occurring deposits of leonardite or lignite using alkaline solutions, typically potassium hydroxide. The extraction process preserves the organic compounds inherent in the raw material, resulting in a product rich in humic and fulvic acids. These substances are known for their beneficial effects on soil health and plant growth. Since potassium humate originates from natural sources and undergoes minimal chemical processing, it retains its status as an organic product, making it suitable for sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices.
