Highly water-soluble humic acid products such as powders and compacted solids or granules are provided, which can be used directly as crop growth enhancers, or can be coated on or mixed with solid fertilizers. Preferred fertilizer products include humic acid-supplemented MAP, DAP, and urea, particularly where the humic acid fraction is distributed throughout the structure of the solid fertilizers.

This invention concerns a process for the manufacture of a biostimulant based on fermented seaweed extracts, natural compounds and living bacteria to stimulate the growth and general vigour of plants while improving crop yields and crop quality. The process developed includes a microbial fermentation extraction technology involving a bacterial consortium comprised of bacteria selected from 3 strains of Bacillus sp, which concentrates in a liquid solution many molecules, nutrients and bioactive substances of agronomic interest from five varieties of seaweed (Saccharina longicruris, Fucus vesiculosus, Ascophyllum nodosum, Chondrus crispus and Furcellaria lumbricalis) harvested in the cold coastal waters of the Canadian Maritime Provinces.

A granule includes (i) particles comprising an active agent and (ii) a binding agent comprising a lignosulfonate and a mixture of polyols. A ratio of lignosulfonate to the mixture of polyols is in the range of 1.5:1 to 16:1. The mixture of polyols may include monosaccharides, disaccharides, hydrogenated starch hydrolysates, or combinations thereof. The active agent may be an agriculturally active agent, a pharmaceutically active agent, or a food product. The granule may have a sphericity of at least 85%.
