Maximise Soil Health This Autumn with Humates and Tow & Fert Application
Easy Autumn Application with Tow & Fert Trailers
Southern Humates availability of 20kg humate fines are designed specifically for use with Tow & Fert trailers, ensuring seamless application across large paddocks, cropping fields, and orchards. The fine particle size allows for easy mixing with liquid fertilizers, making it simple to apply humates along with other soil amendments.
Using a Tow & Fert trailer, farmers can efficiently spread humates before the winter months, ensuring their soil is enriched and ready for the season ahead. Whether incorporated into a pasture rejuvenation program or applied to cropping land, humates help maximize fertiliser efficiency and boost soil performance.
Prepare Your Soil for Success
Applying humates in autumn is an investment in long-term soil health and farm productivity. Whether you’re looking to reduce fertiliser costs, improve soil structure, or strengthen pasture resilience, our 20kg humate fines offer a cost-effective, easy-to-apply solution.
Why Use Humates in Autumn?
Autumn is a critical transition period for farmers, as soil conditions change, and nutrient cycling slows down. Adding humates during this time provides several key benefits:
- Enhancing Soil Biology for Winter Preparation
Humates stimulate beneficial microbial activity, which plays a vital role in breaking down organic matter and making nutrients available for plant uptake. By applying humates in autumn, farmers can boost soil microbial life, ensuring that essential nutrients remain accessible throughout the cooler months.
- Improving Nutrient Retention and Reducing Leaching
With increased rainfall in autumn, nutrient leaching can become a concern. Humates help bind nutrients to the soil, preventing them from washing away and ensuring they are available when plants need them. This is especially beneficial for farmers applying nitrogen-based fertilisers, as humates help stabilize nitrogen and reduce losses.
- Strengthening Root Systems and Pasture Resilience
For dairy and sheep farmers, maintaining strong pastures heading into winter is essential. Humates encourage deeper root growth, allowing grasses to access moisture and nutrients more effectively. This leads to healthier, more resilient pastures that can withstand cooler temperatures and heavy grazing.
- Enhancing Soil Structure and Moisture Retention
Improving soil structure is another key benefit of humates. They help create aerated, well-structured soil, reducing compaction and improving water infiltration. This means less waterlogging in low-lying paddocks and better moisture retention during dry spells.
