Using MCT as a foundation, we’ve created a full line of ultra-efficient liquid products sustainable for all crop programs.

THESE PROGRAMS FALL INTO 4 CATEGORIES: 

  1.   Boosting beneficial soil microbes to improve soil health
  2.   Enhancing nutrient delivery to plants
  3.   Supporting optimal crop growth and development
  4.   Providing organic, zero-residue pest control with botanical oils

HOW DOES MCT MAKE HUMA’S LIQUID PRODUCT LINE MORE EFFICIENT?

Huma products stand out for their efficiency, powered by MCT, which can make them up to 10x more effective than conventional fertilizers. This technology enhances nutrient delivery and boosts the activity and diversity of beneficial soil microorganisms. It also improves the effectiveness of crop protection products.

This proprietary blend of tiny, carbon- and oxygen-rich molecules delivers and greatly enhances nutrient absorption through both leaves and roots.

ORIGIN OF MICRO CARBON TECHNOLOGY (MCT)

Huma's Idaho Mine

Part product, part process

Micro Carbon Technology was commercialized in 1973 when scientists discovered a unique, carbon-rich organic material in a company-owned mine in the Northwestern U.S. This material, similar to leonardite, boosted soil fertility and plant nutrient uptake. Made from decomposed plant matter, it’s rich in humic acids and minerals. Huma breaks down these humic acids into tiny carbon molecules, concentrates them into a liquid, and uses this as the base for the entire liquid product line.

Since discovering the leonardite deposit, our scientists at Huma® have continually refined their extraction process to create MCT—tiny, carbon- and oxygen-rich molecules that efficiently deliver nutrients.
