Eco Growth Eco Humate

KEY Features:

  • High ion exchange capacity
  • Improves fertiliser effectiveness
  • Effective for water repellent soils
  • 100% soluble for use through fertigation or spray equipment

Eco-Humate is a liquid form of humus, the natural brown substance found in fertile loamy soils. This liquid humate is a soil amendment for the purpose of water retention, nutrient buffering and boosting microbes.

Application Rate

  • 150ml in 7.5L water per 100 square metres

Details 

Eco-Humate® physically increases soil fertility by holding fertiliser as a natural chelate for increased plant availability, whilst feeding the plant and microbial processes that build soil humus through plant root/microbial interaction.

Humus increases water retention in light, sandy soils by lining soil particles with an absorbent carbon sponge. Similarly, heavy soils are loosened by pushing clay particles apart, allowing infiltration and movement of air and water.

Eco-Humate® has both cation and anion exchange properties, meaning it can retain a wide range of plant nutrients. Eco-Humate® speeds the availability of lime and gypsum pre or post application; Slows nitrogen loss when mixed with urea; Increases the availability of phosphorus in high phosphorus buffering index (PBI) and high aluminium soils; and, increases potassium & trace element retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Eco Growth Eco Humate

Eco Growth Eco Humate is a concentrated liquid humus soil conditioner designed to improve soil health, nutrient retention, and water efficiency. It contains humic substances that help build healthier soil biology and support stronger root development in lawns, gardens, and turf areas.

What does Eco Humate do for my lawn?

Eco Humate helps:

  • Improve soil structure and fertility
  • Increase nutrient availability and retention
  • Support beneficial microbial activity
  • Improve root growth and development
  • Enhance water retention in sandy or hydrophobic soils

It works as a soil amendment rather than a traditional fertiliser, helping create healthier growing conditions for turf.

Can Eco Humate help with dry or water-repellent soils?

Yes, Eco Humate is commonly used on sandy and water-repellent soils because it helps improve moisture retention and water infiltration. By increasing the soil's ability to hold water, it can help reduce dry patches and improve lawn resilience during hot weather.

How does Eco Growth Eco Humate improve soil health?

Eco Humate contains humic compounds that act like a natural carbon sponge within the soil. These compounds help:

  • Improve cation exchange capacity (CEC)
  • Hold nutrients in the root zone
  • Increase microbial activity
  • Improve soil aeration and water movement
  • Reduce nutrient loss through leaching

This creates a healthier soil environment for long-term lawn performance.

What types of lawns can Eco Growth Eco Humate be used on?

Eco Humate is suitable for most established Australian turf varieties, including:

  • Buffalo grass
  • Couch grass
  • Kikuyu
  • Zoysia

It is commonly used on residential lawns, sports fields, golf courses, and commercial turf areas as part of a soil improvement program.

Can Eco Humate be used with fertilisers?

Yes, Eco Humate is frequently used alongside fertiliser programs because it helps improve nutrient efficiency and nutrient retention within the soil. Many lawn care programs combine humates with fertilisers to maximise nutrient uptake and support stronger, healthier turf growth.
