Today, the positive effects of humic substances on soil microbiological activity, soil structure, plant water retention, nutrient uptake, resistance to abiotic stress, etc. are widely described. As a result, the impact of humates (HM) on yield growth and product quality has been described in numerous scientific publications. The aim of the study, using the scientific literature, is to find out the properties of HM that determine their versatile use. The chemical composition of HM, mechanism of action and possibilities of use are identified in the work. The topicality of the research was determined by the current challenges of agricultural science – to find sustainable, environmentally friendly solutions in food production without reducing crop and soil productivity. The main conclusion of the study is the understanding that it is important to find the link between the chemical composition of HM and their widely described uniqueness. In addition, it is important to identify the local potential of HM thus contributing to the development of sustainable agriculture in Latvia.
