Characteristics of the drug "Gumate"
All humates are derivatives of humic acids. The raw materials for their production are brown coal and peat. After they are cleaned of impurities and treated with alkali, the solution is neutralized. After these manipulations, liquid or granular fertilizer is prepared. The main effect of drugs produced in this way is to stimulate the active growth of all types of plants. When humic acids enter the soil, they stimulate soil bacteria to actively function and reproduce, which improves the quality of the soil, its aeration, and hygroscopicity.
Fertilizer "Gumate 7" is a highly effective product
Organomineral fertilizer Gumat +7
Humate +7 is a series of various complex fertilizers. Their composition is quite complex. It is based on high molecular weight organic substances. Such substances are formed in the soil thanks to bacteria, during the process of natural decomposition, and are a source of nutrition for plants. But in depleted soil there are very few such substances. By adding Humat +7 fertilizer, soil fertility increases thanks to these valuable, “heavy” organic substances.
The fertilizer Humat +7 contains microelements in chelated form and is easily absorbed by plants
If we take a closer look at the composition of the Humat +7 fertilizer, we can see that about 80% is assigned to organic sodium and potassium salts. The remaining 20% are other minerals, namely boron, manganese, iron, molybdenum, zinc, copper and of course the NPK complex.
Experts note that Humate +7 can serve not just as a plant food, but also as a soil fertility restorer. It is often used on depleted soil where there is a very thin humus layer, alkaline or acidic soil. However, when used on acidic soil, it is necessary to initially add lime to the soil.

Reviews from gardeners about fertilizer Gumat +7
Every gardener and gardener has their own favorite fertilizers that they use regularly. But what is the opinion of gardeners about the fertilizer Gumat +7:
- Anna Vladimirovna : “Every year I buy Gumat +7 for the site. Most often I just scatter it on the ground before sowing crops, dig it up and plant the plants. The effect is amazing! Productivity increases from year to year. In the summer I don’t use this fertilizer; I buy other minerals or make green fertilizers. The quality of the soil has become much better, softer, it’s even noticeable externally, so I definitely recommend it!”
- Tatyana Bukhorova : “I buy Gumat 7 fertilizer for soaking planting material and feeding plants. I like the product for its versatility, because it is easy to use and has a good effect. It meets all my requirements and is inexpensive - what more could you ask for? I don’t combine it with other products, I use it separately. They say that it is also suitable for indoor plants, but I haven’t tried it yet, I think in this case the concentration will have to be greatly reduced so as not to cause harm.”
- Evgeniy Zhuravel : “Growing crops in a cool climate is not easy, so I buy growth stimulants and fertilizers. I like Humate +7 for its quick action, but in order to use insecticides less often, I choose Humate 7 Iodine, this is essentially the same fertilizer, only with iodine, which also protects against pests. Based on the harvest, I can note earlier ripening. Beautiful fruits grow on this fertilizer and taste natural.”

Products are produced in different types
1.Tableted. Drugs in tablet form are easy to use due to the convenience of dosing. This option is suitable for amateurs and novice gardeners.
2. “Humate 7” in liquid form. It has a high concentration of active substances, suitable for use over large areas in agricultural farming conditions.
3.Powder form. Designed to prepare an aqueous solution of the required concentration, which can be easily adjusted by the amount of dry powder.
Compatibility with other tools
The product is not recommended to be mixed with other pesticides. However, gardeners often resort to combining chemicals for improved results. It is worth noting that the number of mixing treatments should be reduced several times.
Potash fertilizers and nitrogen-based fertilizers combine well with Humate. You should not try to add phosphorus fertilizers at the same time as the above additives. The components of these fertilizers conflict with each other and the use of the product will not give the desired result.
Product varieties
On sale you can see “Gumate” brand 7, which includes 80-85% of nutrients with the addition of 7 elements necessary for active plant growth. The drug is available on the shelves of all specialized places selling agricultural products. The products are packaged from 10 g to several kilograms.
The improved “Gumate plus 7 iodine” received reviews from grateful customers immediately after the first testing on their own plots. Its effectiveness is due to its improved composition and the inclusion of iodine in the main composition of active substances.
Peat potassium humate
The liquid form of peat potassium humate has received a lot of good feedback from consumers who use this fertilizer on their plots. It is a highly concentrated dark brown solution containing 80% of the active substance. This type of humate is the result of the processing of natural peat, during which many substances needed by plants are released from it - phosphorus and nitrogen, various trace elements and potassium. The solution is saturated with useful microelements of mineral and organic origin - there are about thirty of them in potassium peat humate.
It is very simple to prepare this fertilizer for use: you need to dilute potassium humate with water to achieve a concentration of 0.01%, because this concentration is suitable for feeding many fruit and vegetable crops. This type of humate is used, like others, for soaking seed and planting material, as well as for root and foliar fertilizer of plants.
To improve the soil composition and increase the content of organic substances in the soil, potassium humate, made from peat raw materials, is added to the soil as a solution with a concentration of the main substance of 0.1-0.2%.
A good effect is achieved by using peat potassium humate in combination with pesticides and mineral fertilizers. It is combined in any proportions with nitrogen and organic fertilizers (including potassium). But this type of humates cannot be combined with phosphorus preparations, since this produces compounds that are insoluble in water. Therefore, phosphorus fertilizers are added to the soil separately. If you are going to combine humates with other pesticides or organic substances, then first check them for compatibility. To do this, mix the added substances in a small amount with humate and monitor the reaction. If a precipitate appears in the test solution, it means that the drugs cannot be added at the same time.
By treating plants with fertilizers during active growth by foliar feeding with peat potassium humate in combination with various mineral compounds and pesticides, you can significantly reduce the content of nitrates and poisons in cultivated plants and in their future harvest.

Manufacturers often provide detailed instructions for the use of Humate 7 iodine, which provides a table of dosages and features of use of the drug.
Seeds of vegetable, flower and ornamental and fruit and berry plants are soaked for 14-24 hours, but:
- bulbs and tubers are left in the solution for 6-8 hours;
- seedlings (open root system) - up to 2-3 hours;
- cuttings - for a day.
The fertilizer dosage for all these crops is 0.5-1 g/l.
Plants are sprayed every 14-15 days, which is a total of 3-4 procedures for the entire season. Land with an area of 10 m² is treated with 1.5 liters of a nutrient composition prepared according to the 1-2 g/10 liter scheme. In the case of potatoes, the tubers are sprayed or immersed in a nutrient liquid (2 g/l) for a short time.
Features when watering
Manufacturers advise following a specially selected proportion: 1.5-2 g of powder is diluted in 10 liters of liquid. When applying fertilizer (at the root) in the fall, as well as during planting fruit and berry varieties, the dosage is increased to three grams. Additionally, two more feedings are planned. Depending on the size of the bush, about 10-50 liters of suspension are consumed. Vegetable crops are fertilized according to the same scheme, only 4-5 liters of nutrient solution are used per 1 m². Such procedures are performed no more than once every 14 days. At the same time, flowers and other ornamental varieties are watered every 7-10 days.
To spray shrubs, a smaller volume of solution is required: only 1.5 liters per area of 10 m². For trees, prepare from 2 to 10 liters per 1 m².
Indoor plants also need such a complex composition. Therefore, throughout the spring and summer, the flowerpots are watered every 10-15 days. In winter, this interval is increased to 30-45 days. Liquids are added in such quantities as to thoroughly moisten the earthen ball. Typically, young specimens require 100-200 ml, and adults - more than 1 liter.
Strawberries only need two feedings: spring and after harvest. To do this, water the bushes generously with the prepared solution, not exceeding the specified dosage of 4-5 l/m². If you plan to spray, then follow a different consumption rate - 1.5 l/10 m².
When performing these procedures, always comply with safety regulations. After the event, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap.
