Earthgreen’s products all derive from the humate of the Menefee formation in north central New Mexico. The long series of coincidences and good fortune miillions of years ago have brought to surface an incredibly rich and chemically complex deposit of material whose potential uses, both in agriculture and medicine, may not be fully accessed for years to come.
The ability to do so many diverse things is explained by the molecular structure of humate. Humates and humic acids are very “surface active” complexes that hold elements (and fertilizer nutrients) strongly. They are excellent chelating agents which provide “time release” availability of the materials with which they are applied.
Menefee Humate ®
For use on Turfgrass (Lawns), Bedding Plants, Gardens, and Agriculture Applications
Granular all-natural carbon, trace mineral, and humic acid based soild conditioner that acts as an organic chelator, microbial stimulator, and source of vital micronutrients. It has a unique carbon matrix incorporating a high concentration of roganic acids, specifically humic and fulvic acids, which improves the plants ability to take in vital nutrients. Listed by Organic Materials Review Institue (OMRI) for use in organic production.
Benefits:
- Stimulates microbial activity.
- Enhances the uptake of available nutrients.
- Enhances root development.
- Improves soil structure.
- Enhances germination.
- Better resistance to stress.
- Promotes residue (thatch) decomposition.
- Promotes healthier, stronger plants.
- Enhances appearance.

Due to the current demand in agriculture, ornamental, and turfgrass industries for a premium quality water-soluble humic acid-based product, Earthgreen Products Inc. formulated a new humic acid product, Grow-Plex SP™, derived from Menefee Humate®. State universities and commercial cooperators studied the effect of various Grow-Plex™ rates, timings and application methods on plant growth and development. These studies were designed to give the respective industries well-founded guidelines to establish the best applications of Grow-Plex SP™ for use in formulations with chemical and organic fertilizers and pesticides. See the following results from university studies sponsored by Earthgreen Products Inc.:
