100% Genuine New Mexico Humates About 75 Million Years in the Making
Over the past decades, we have supplied the agricultural industry with the highest quality humates, mined from premium New Mexico geologic deposits, in the Upper Cretaceous Fruitland Formation, in the San Juan Basin.
New Mexico humates are noted for being among the best in the world and we take pride in the fact that we have been instrumental in building this reputation. Today we are one of the world’s most respected suppliers of humates, with milling, shipping and office operations in San Ysidro, New Mexico.
Mesa Verde Humates® is part of the Huma®, Inc. family.
Founded in 1973, Huma, Inc., is a three-generation employee-owned company that is world leader humates. From company-owned mines, we produce liquid, dry, and water soluble humic and fulvic acid products, as well as our proprietary Micro Carbon Technology®. These products—derived from naturally occurring leonardite (soft coal) and humic shales—create enhanced activity of beneficial microorganisms, improved soil structure and water use, enhanced nutrient availability and uptake, suppression of crop pests and diseases, and breakdown of hydrocarbons and chemical compounds. Our humic-based products have been developed for agriculture; technical additives for manufacturing; horticulture, turf, and ornamentals; and soil & wastewater bioremediation.
Our ongoing purpose is to investigate, innovate, implement, and improve the use of humic substances as true biostimulants for a better world.
We constantly strive to provide the highest quality humates to the agricultural and environmental industries at competitive prices. Always timely in our shipments and consistent in our product specifications, we provide excellent service by being responsive to our customers. New Mexico humates are noted for being among the best in the world and Huma takes pride in the fact that we have been instrumental in building this reputation. Look no further if you are interested in humates for agriculture or other applications!

Huma’s Humates are nature’s brilliant blend of organic, humic, fulvic acids and more. They’re used extensively to increase plant quality and production, and to improve and replenish depleted soils. Field trials prove that plants develop much stronger root systems and that length, density and root radius dramatically increase. Finally, through increased synthesis of chlorophyll, humates help accumulate solar energy, increasing cell energy balance. Natural processes result in an increase in the plant’s resistance to unfavorable stress factors, improved nitrogen assimilation and nutrient uptake, and help facilitate the synthesis of sugars, vitamins, and more.


THE BEST RETURN ON YOUR FARMING INVESTMENT!
The Economic Benefits of Mesa Verde Genuine New Mexico Humates are Clear in Trial after Trial
There is no better way to enhance the economics of farming than to build soil humus and enhance natural processes, such as microbial activity, that can be sustained over a long, productive life. Building levels of natural Humic Acids reduces the need for commercial fertilizers, because of improved fertilizer use efficiency.
This benefit alone will reduce waste and the environmental concern of leaching fertilizers and pesticides into the water table and surface waters. Reduction in tillage costs, improved water utilization and increases in plant quality and yields will have a direct impact on your bottom line, and you’ll see the results rapidly. Most insects tend to stay away from high-energy plants which have a strengthened immune system as a result of the presence of Humic and Fulvic Acids and the increased nutrient content they deliver to the plant. Finally, research shows that plants treated with humates have more stress tolerance to heat, draught and nutrient shortages, thus assuring a more successful crop and higher yield. Because Huma Humates offer an economical solution to your numerous challenges, it’s an investment you should consider, and a return you’ll welcome.
Case Studies
One-Hour Tissue Absorption Study
Background When applying foliar sprays, it’s highly beneficial for crop nutrients to quickly enter the plant tissue. Farmers often have a short application window and need to make sure the nutrients get into the plant prior to rain Objective Observe how fast a foliar application of Huma® Super Potassium® (0-0-40), powered by Micro Carbon Technology®,
Huma® Liquid Sili-Max® Improves Wheat Yield at Much Higher Efficiency Than Conventional Dry Silicon Fertilizers
Objective The objective of this study was to compare, for use in Louisiana wheat production, the efficacy of a liquid silicon (Si) fertilizer (Huma® Sili-Max®) with a commonly used dry Si source (steel slag) and another Si source (wollastonite) often used in research as a suspension. Silica deposition is an important barrier for foliar fungal
Huma® Improves Alfalfa Quality In the Southwest
Background All Huma® Inc. products are based on extractions of humic substances and other materials that can stimulate plant growth and improve crop quality. Objective The objective of this field trial was to evaluate the efficacy of applying Huma® products, specifically Encapsalt®, Super Phos®, Max Pak®, 44 Mag,® Vitol®, Super Nitro®, Breakout®, Fertil Soil®, Iro-Max®,
