Applied together, EARTHQUAKE Liquid Humic and Forage Factor are Farmer-Proven to be effective and give your hay fields and pastures the growth, density, and quality you want!
Have you ever asked yourself … “How much of the fertilizer I applied, is actually getting utilized by the crop?” We recommend a base saturation soil test and to amend accordingly. And we also suggest THINK SOIL FIRST!
To best answer this question, it helps to understand the process of humification. Humification is the natural conversion of organic matter into humic substances by microorganisms in the soil.
Optimizing soil health is vital for higher yields. Growers must support the physical, biological, and chemical properties of the soil in order to improve its structure, water productivity and storage, nutrient cycling, and overall crop productivity.
The microbes in your soil contribute to: breaking down organic matter, increasing the availability of nutrients, carbon sequestration, moisture retention, drainage, soil structure, and suppression of pests and pathogens. They work hand-in-hand with root systems!
