Not only did I see a significant green up, but root development was noticeable as well. It was easy to mix and apply. Very pleased with the product.” TODD CARTER EVOLUTION LAND MANAGEMENT “ I have been using Monty’s product now for several years... the Humic LC is a great product to address compacted areas where I have a hard time getting grass to grow.” TAYLOR MARRET TRISTAR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE “ When we introduced Microhance last fall, I knew this would be a tremendous product to use on my own lawn. My neighborhood is fairly new construction and many times, the soils are low in essential micronutrients to grow the best grass you can. This product, applied along with Humic LC has proven to make a big difference.” DENNIS STEPHENS PRESIDENT, MONTY’S PLANT FOOD CO. INTRODUCTION Monty’s® Turf and Ornamental™ offers products including an activated humic soil conditioner, low rate foliar plant foods, a micronutrient package, and an herbicide adjuvant/penetrant. All are ideal for... • Residential & Commercial Lawn Care • Hydro-Seeding • Specialty Turf Management • Sod Production • Landscape Installation & Maintenance • Ornamental Growers & Greenhouses • Parks & Recreation Departments WHAT’S INSIDE THE HUMIC DIFFERENCE ......................................................................4 MONTY’S® TURF & ORNAMENTAL PRODUCTS TurfVantage Humic LC™ ..................................................................7 TurfVantage 4-5-2 Plus™...................................................................8 TurfVantage 6-11-5 AP™ ..................................................................9 TurfVantage Microhance™ ...........................................................10 TurfVantage Nanoboost™.............................................................11 THE HUMIC DIFFERENCE M A X I M I Z ING B IO, GEO AND CHEMICAL ACTIV ITY FO R SO LUBLE SOIL PERFORMANCE W ITH MONTY’S Don’t be fooled by the Humic content numbers on product packaging. Today’s labels show anything from 1% to 70%, but that is not the entire story. There are different methods for measuring humic substances, some of which include a measurement of ash along with the humics reading. The method accepted by most states is the California 4A 4/JC method. This is the method that Monty’s uses. We took some competing products and had them analyzed the same way we have our product analyzed. You may find the results surprising. LABEL CALIF 4A/JC Monty’s Dri-Carbon 49% 49% Dry Humic A 70% 39.9% Dry Humic B 70% 51.40% This is really just the beginning of the story. Just as testing methods yield different results, how the brown coal is processed yields different results in the field. Monty’s proprietary process offers the following benefits: • Fully Activated – Monty’s fully activates all humic substances for maximum Bio (microbial activity, nutrient delivery), Geo (mineral activity, humus formation, improved soil structure) and Chemical (unlocks tied-up nutrients, improves CEC capacity) activity. • Optimized Formulation – Monty’s optimizes the ratio of humic substances for maximum results across a wide range of soil types. • Purity – Monty’s proprietary processing technology removes the elements and compounds that reduce activity and performance, and therefore increases our humic’s activity and performance in the soil. COMPARE M ON T Y ’ S W I T H T HE C OM PET I T I ON Compare the difference with and without Humic LC. Monty’s products are effective at low concentrations because of their activation, optimized formulation and purity. But don’t take our word for it. Compare the beakers to the right to see how Monty’s process results in soluble humics which dissolve and disperse upon contact with moisture, ready to work throughout your soil profile. 4 Competitor Monty’s BI O, G EO AND CH EMICA L A CTIV IT Y D I F F ER EN C ES M ON T Y ’ S D I F F E R E N CE The vast majority of humic products are derived from brown coal. As the chart below shows, 75% of brown coal’s makeup is organic matter. Of this organic matter, roughly 80% are humic substances. Finally, humic substances consist primarily of fulvics and humic acids. At this stage, it is key to know that humic acids, in their natural form, are insoluble…regardless what percent humic acid is on the label. It is only the smaller percentage of fulvic acids in the humic substance that is soluble in its natural state. This is what the comparison picture on the previous page indicates: (a) How the activated Monty’s humic product is soluble and (b) how the competitor’s inactivated product is still insoluble. Whether it’s 100%, 75%, 50%, 25%, 15%, or 12.6% humics – unless they have been activated, they are still in their natural state and are insoluble! This means they cannot disperse through the soil profile or work as efficiently as Monty’s activated humics.

HOW CAN YOU APPLY TWO QUARTS TO AN ACRE AND GET RESULTS? Humic substances can be broken down into humic acid and fulvic acid. Humic acid is a principal component of humic substances. Humic substances are the major organic constituents of soil (humus), peat and coal. They are also found in upland streams, lakes, and ocean water. Humic substances are produced by the decomposition of organic matter. Our proprietary humics are purified and activated, have the correct humic-to-fulvic ratio, and are applied at the optimum humic concentration. Therefore we have a lower rate of application and can achieve greater results by stimulating the soil’s natural biology in the most effective way. HOW CAN HUMICS HELP ME TO INCREASE MY YIELD? Humics stimulate microbial activity in soil, help break up compacted soil, assist in transferring micronutrients from the soil to the plant, enhance water retention, increase seed germination, and improve the breakdown of plant residue. HOW CAN MONTY’S LOWER % HUMIC BE BETTER THAN THE COMPETITION’S HIGHER % HUMIC? Whether its 50%, 25%, or 12.6%, humics in their natural state are insoluble. This means they cannot disperse effectively through the soil profile. Monty’s proprietary processing technology makes our product the most active and soluble available. Our humics are more pure and have the ideal humic-to-fulvic ratio to provide for maximum yield and success. We understand the right concentration of humic substances to maximize biological stimulation. This is why our lower concentrations are more effective. This is our advantage. Contact your Monty’s representative for more information. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING MONTY’S PRODUCTS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR? Monty’s humic products are continuously working when used throughout the year. Monty’s recommended programs can improve your soils and maximize your yields year after year, providing the most cost-effective solution available. HOW DO YOU SHOW/KNOW IT’S ACTIVE? Activity is measured in the soil and plants. Soil testing will show the results: reduced soil compaction, improved overall soil health, enhanced micronutrient uptake, and enhanced breakdown of plant residue. Results may include increased root mass, healthier plants and ultimately a higher yield. WHY ARE YOU TELLING ME TO ADD CARBON, WHEN I HAVE PLENTY OF CARBON IN MY SOIL? Carbon has many forms, but stable, organic carbon is our priority. Humic LC is the product name for our active humic products. Humic LC contains highly purified and activated humic substances with carbon in their molecular structure. This type of carbon is stable and organic. DOES MONTY’S ACTIVATED HUMIC TECHNOLOGY WORK IN ALL SOIL TYPES? Yes. Whether you have clay soils and compaction or sandy soils, Humic LC can provide benefits to the soil. HOW DOES MONTY’S HUMIC INCREASE MICROBIAL ACTIVITY? Humic products increase microbial activity by providing optimum conditions for microbial life and protecting microbes from adverse external conditions. HOW DO MONTY’S HUMICS INCREASE CATION EXCHANGE CAPACITY (CEC) IN THE SOIL? Humic substances by themselves have a very high CEC. When added to soil, humic substances stimulate soil organic matter production, which is rich in humus. Humus has a high CEC, which raises CEC levels on the soil test. HOW DOES YOUR COST/ACRE COMPARE TO OTHER HUMIC PRODUCTS? Our cost per acre is generally lower because our humics are purified and activated, have the correct humic-to-fulvic ratio, and are applied at the optimum humic concentration. Although our cost/gallon may be greater, our cost/acre is generally less because of our lower application rates. T H E T R UTH AB O UT H UMICS The vast majority of humic products are derived from brown coal. 75% of brown coal’s makeup is organic matter. Of this organic matter, roughly 80% are humic substances. Finally, humic substances consist primarily of fulvics and humic acids. A little dose of truth is all your crops want. The truth... • Monty’s humic technology is proprietary.
