Both mineral potassium humate and biochemical potassium humate have their own advantages and disadvantages:
1. The advantage of mineral potassium humate is that it is relatively stable in use. The mineral potassium humate produced by regular manufacturers is relatively stable during use, has strong anti-flocculation ability (about 25 degrees hard water), and has a better effect. Although it is expensive, the amount used is relatively small, so it is the best choice for many growers.
2. The disadvantage of mineral potassium humate is that the price is much higher than that of biochemical potassium humate. In addition, during use, it should be noted that it cannot be randomly compounded with other fertilizers for flushing. It is best to do an anti-flocculation test before compounding, otherwise flocs may be produced, affecting the fertilization effect.
3. The advantage of biochemical potassium humate is that its source is more stable and the cost is not expensive, so the price is relatively low.
4. The disadvantage of biochemical potassium humate is that the country has not formulated relevant content standards for biochemical potassium humate, so the content of biochemical potassium humate on the market is often uneven, and the effectiveness of use cannot be guaranteed during use. For example, biochemical potassium humate from some sources will cause excessive growth of crops, which will affect the later yield.
