Our Technology

Humic DG granules contain 62% humic acid and 10% humic acid precursor. DG Technology creates a dust free, spherical, ultra dry particle that rapidly disperses into thousands of microparticles upon contact with moisture. Humic DG granules’ increased surface area, when compared to screened humate, creates greater availability to the plant. It performs in a wide range of conditions and soil types, independent of application method, and features dual carbon sources that are unique to The Andersons granular humic products. Humic DG contains the full spectrum of humic substances: fulvic acid, humic acid, and humin, as well as humic acid precursor.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Flexible application allows for use as a stand alone product or in blends with granular fertilizers
• 4X more efficient than screened humate
• Enhances nitrogen and phosphorus efficiency
• Promotes good soil structure and increases water holding capacity
• Enhances root system development
• Easy to handle and spread through all types of application equipment
• Economical application cost per acre compared to liquid and screened humates

Humic DG CharX harnesses the power of humic acid and biochar in a 50/50 blend, providing the benefits of the more quickly-available humic acid and the long-term soil building qualities of biochar. Powered by Dispersing Granule (DG) Technology, Humic DG CharX takes soil health to the next level. 

For peak effectiveness, biochar needs to migrate through the turf and down into the root system. This can be tricky with many products, which bring application difficulties and poor efficacy. While crumbled or micronized biochar products move well through the turf canopy, they do present challenges in allowing the product to properly flow through a standard broadcast spreader. Other biochar products contain larger chunks, which causes the product to remain in the thatch layer on top of the soil for long periods of time.

Humic DG CharX features DG Technology, which allows each spherical, low-dust granule to disperse into smaller microparticles when watered. This helps both the humic acid and biochar to move quickly through the turf canopy and down to the root zone, where they can begin to go to work.

Optimized Nutrition

No Mower Pickup
Following irrigation, DG products immediately begin dispersing down into the soil, eliminating mower pickup and delivering 100% of the applied nutrients right where you need them. Mower pickup of conventional granular fertilizers is reported to be as high as 15-25%.
 

No Particle Movement
DG products disperse quickly and completely when watered, moving directly into the soil. In a heavy rain or over-irrigation, conventional fertilizers may float and be carried off the intended application area, or be deposited in low lying areas, where they may cause damage.
 

No Mower Damage or Residual Shells
DG Technology does not rely on a physical coating to release nutrients. Coated nutrients are very susceptible to damage from mowers, resulting in premature nutrient release.

Humic Acid Precusor

How Does Humic Acid Precursor Work?
Humic acid precursor contains a soluble form of organic carbon which releases into the soil as Nutri DG and DG Pro granules disperse. Through biochemical reactions in the soil, humic acid precursor is transformed into humic and fulvic acids, which help chelate nutrients in the soil. The optimum rate of humic acid precursor is applied when Nutri DG and DG Pro are applied at label rates.
