Key Observations

The Black Stuff sample was analysed for its chemical properties to determine its nutrient contribution.

Organic matter = 58.4%

Fractionated as:

Humic Acid = 32.3%

Fulvic Acid = 4.8%

Humin = 62.9%

The high eCEC indicates a high nutrient retention and holding capacity, meaning that this product will enable soils to better hold on to fertiliser applications, providing improved value from each application.

As well as providing a high carbon/organic source, this material will also provide a good source of nitrogen.

Cation Balance

(Water and fertiliser holding capacity)

Effective Cation Exchange Capacity (eCEC) = 41.1 (Very High)

Physical Description

Organic Carbon = 34.4% (Very High)

Organic Matter = 58.4%
