Andersons - 44-0-0 Humic Coated Urea - 2% Humic Acid - SGN 215 - 50 LB Bag

Product Label Download SDS

HCU (Humic Coated Urea) granules are an innovative nitrogen source featuring urea-humate fusion. This proprietary technology from The Andersons produces a cost effective 44-0-0 nitrogen granule that is bonded with potassium humate. Clean, spherical, free flowing granules are 100% soluble for use in both liquid and dry applications. HCU granules can be applied to all types of cool and warm season turf, landscape and nursery ornamentals, and specialty crops.

HCU granules offer a practical, sensible and sustainable approach to applying nitrogen with important soil and plant health benefits that traditional nitrogen sources cannot provide.

There are many types of controlled-release or enhanced efficiency nitrogen products available that provide the single benefit of potentially improving the utilization of applied nitrogen. Some nitrogen products use physical coatings such as polymers and/or sulfur to slow the release of nitrogen, while enhanced efficiency nitrogen products use chemical additives to suppress beneficial soil biology.

HCU granules are different by design. They utilize ureahumate fusion technology which bonds a uniform coating of potassium humate over a urea granule. This coating does not act as a physical barrier to slow nitrogen release, but works synergistically with urea to promote and enhance soil biology.

HCU granules contain beneficial fulvic and humic acids that provide a rich carbon source for maintaining and improving soil biology. Fulvic and humic acids have numerous proven benefits for soil and plant health which include: enhanced nutrient efficiency, micronutrient uptake, soil nutrient holding capacity, biological activity, and water holding capacity.

Both fulvic and humic acids have unique physical and chemical properties that contribute to their effectiveness and the way they complement fertilizer programs.
FULVIC ACIDS are very soluble and can be readily absorbed by leaves and roots, making them well suited for foliar application. Fulvic acids enhance the absorption of nutrients and aid in the efficiency of plant metabolic reactions.
HUMIC ACIDS are moderately soluble. They have a high cation exchange capacity (CEC), which helps enhance the nutrient holding capacity of the soil after application. Humic acid molecules chelate many essential nutrients and help stimulate soil microbiology.

SOLUBLE & SPREADABLE HCU granules are multipurpose soluble granules that can be solubilized for spray application or dry applied through typical dry spreading equipment. HCU 44-0-0 granules are a cost effective nitrogen source, and are well suited for use on large turf applications such as golf course tees, aprons, fairways and roughs, sports fields, commercial and residential lawns, ornamentals, and specialty crops.

Spray Application
HCU granules completely solubilize when added to water and can be spray applied at nitrogen rates of 0.10 - 1.00 LB N/1,000 SQ FT. HCU can be mixed and added to the spray tank using industry standard practices including:

• pouring into the strainer basket at the top tank opening and running water over the granules to solubilize;
• preparing a bucket slurry mixture;
• adding granules through the spray tank inductor system; or
• prepare a solution in a mix batch tank system.

Using warm or hot water will reduce the time required to solubilize HCU. Fill the spray tank with at least half the desired water volume, engage the agitation and begin adding the HCU granules or solution using one of the methods described previously. Continue agitation until thoroughly mixed.

DRY BROADCAST APPLICATION:
Apply to dry turf and irrigate thoroughly if applying at the 1.25 and 1.50 LB N/1,000 SQ FT rates.

See Label for complete application instructions.
