Applications of Leonardite
Where is Leonardite used?
Leonardite is versatile and finds applications in cereals such as wheat, barley, corn and sunflower, vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, potatoes and cucumbers, fruit trees such as apples, pears and citrus, as well as organic farming. It is effective even in the reclamation of depleted or contaminated soils, helping to restore the microflora. The product is ideal for a variety of agricultural practices, maintaining the balance of soil elements and promoting plant health.
Specific application techniques
For cereals, pre-mixing with the soil is recommended, while for fruit trees it is most effective to apply around the root zone. These techniques have been developed by our specialists to maximize benefits, adapting to the specific needs of each crop.
Suitable regions and climatic conditions
Leonardite is adapted to various climate zones, including the continental climate in Bulgaria and Mediterranean conditions, making it a versatile product for farmers across Europe. It also performs well in regions with high humidity or prolonged drought.
Development
Studies have shown that Leonardite increases sugar beet and potato yields by improving soil microflora and root growth. Customers in Northern Bulgaria have noted improved crop drought tolerance after three years of application. Other farmers in Southern Bulgaria have reported 20% higher tomato yields after combined application with organic fertilizers.

Application instructions
Directly into the soil: Spread and mix by plowing or milling, it is recommended to apply before sowing for optimal results.
For trees: Mix with the soil in the hole and water to stimulate root growth and the absorption of humic acids.
Tip: For weak soils, increase the dose and frequency of application, monitoring the reaction of the crops.
Additional application methods
It can also be used as a foliar spray in soluble forms, which facilitates the rapid absorption of humic acids by the leaves. This technique is particularly useful in stressful conditions such as drought or high temperatures, providing rapid support to plants.
Planning long-term programs
For maximum effect, it is recommended to develop four-year fertilization plans, including a combination of soil and foliar application, which ensures stable improvement of soil properties and long-term fertility.
