\n\t\t\tSUccess Starts With Healthy Soil\t<\/h1>\n\t

The health of your soil will have a significant impact on the quality and quantity of your yield. Poor imbalanced soil can negatively impact your crops and rob you of yield.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhat Is Imbalanced Soil?\t<\/h2>\n\t

If you have imbalanced soil it means there is a biological, chemical, or geological imbalance in the soil. Our soils today are NOT as productive as they once were. Weather, insects, erosion, over-production, and high salt products have led to imbalanced soil robbing your yield potential.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t

          \n\t\t\tWhat Are Humic Substances?\t<\/h1>\n

          \n\t\t\tHumic substances are the major organic components of soil (humus), peat, and coal.\t<\/h2>\n\t

          Humics on the market today are mined, dried, crushed (or liquefied), and remain in their natural state. Humic substances are formed by the microbial degradation and decomposition of organic (plant) matter. Humic substances are extracted from humified materials such as brown coal (Lignite, Leonardite) or peat. The starting material is crushed, converted to granules, liquefied, and\/or pelletized. In this state, the humic substances remain an inactive <\/b>and insoluble <\/b>humic product.<\/p>\n\t

          1. Decomposed matter (with time, pressure, & heat) forms brown coal<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\"Coal\n\t

          3. It is then dried, crushed, & screened to form granules<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\"Lignite\n\t

          2. Brown coal (Lignite, Leonardite) is mined from the ground<\/h3>\n\t

          What does INSOLUBLE mean?<\/h3>\n\t

          Humic products remaining in their natural state are insoluble, meaning they do not dissolve in acids, water, or soil solutions, thereby having little impact on the health of the soil.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Humic\n\t

          This is where many competitors stop!<\/h3>\nMany competitive products are insoluble, inactive, and bio-inhibiting substances.
          \nWhen applied to the field, they have little to no impact on the soil and its biology.\n

          \n\t\t\tHow Are Monty’s Humics & Fulvics Different?\t<\/h1>\n

          \n\t\t\tActivated is the key! Monty’s proprietary humic technology makes our product the most active and soluble available in the marketplace, and is formulated to the ideal humic to fulvic ratio to maximize yields and success.\t<\/h2>\n\t

          What Differentiates Monty’s Humic Substances from the Competition?<\/h2>\n\t

          Monty’s activated, proprietary humic and fulvic products are derived from ancient humified material (ex. lignite), not processed plant materials or manufacturing by-products. Competitors using these materials have products which are less pure and less bioactive – resulting in significantly less impact on your crops. Always look to see what the humics and fulvics are derived from. Some competitors may claim higher percentages. But, if they have not started with humified materials, they are not true humic products. Whatever percentage they claim does not reflect the actual humic and fulvic content. Some manufacturers use different methods for determining humic or fulvic content. Monty’s uses the HPTA method (ISO 19822), the most accurate and most widely accepted method in use today. When comparing products, be sure to compare products using the same method of analysis. A higher percentage does not always mean better!\u00a0<\/p>\n\t

          Competition’s Process<\/h3>\n\t

          Some competitors process their material with an incorrect combination of chemicals, temperature, and\/or other processes. These processes can cause their humics to be bio-inhibitive and significantly less beneficial to the plant and soil.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Competitions\n\t

          Monty’s Engineered Process<\/h3>\n\t

          Monty’s takes the process even further with our proprietary humic technology. The unique, engineered process converts the inactive humic molecule to an open, activated soluble state.<\/p>\n

          This proprietary, patented process optimizes pH, temperature, pressure, time, solids, and agitation, creating a chemical reaction, converting humic substances to their active state. This results in a more soluble and biologically active humic product… maximizing efficiency and ultimately maximizing yields.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Montys\n\t\t\t\t\"Montys\n\t
