Huma® and Zia Pueblo Farm Corn Project
Background Many small-scale farms (1-2 acres each) are established in Zia Pueblo community near San Ysidro, New Mexico. Huma® Inc. was asked to establish an experimental farm in the tribal community that could demonstrate the usage of beneficial agricultural inputs producing high-yield crop and preserving the health of the soil. Huma® humic-based products stimulate plant...
Huma® OM 1-3 mm Organic Humates Improve Potato Yield by 9%, With 5:1 ROI
Background Scientific research shows that humic and fulvic acids are biostimulants—enhancing nutrient availability and uptake, improving plant root growth and mass, and impacting both crop yield and quality. Objective The focus of this study was to assess the effect of pre-plant application of a raw humic product on potato yield. Materials & Methods One week...
Huma® Zap® Improves Corn Yield by 8.3 bu/A, With 10% ROI
Background Application of Zap® to soils in combination with other Huma® fertilizers at various locations previously resulted in crops with improved plant growth and higher yields. Applying Zap® with grower standard products or as a single product application to soil and plants could also impact results. Objective The focus of this study was to observe...
Huma® OM Soil Activator Increases Corn Yield 19%, With 240% ROI
Background In an earlier in-house research project, it was observed that OM Soil Activator (formerly known as Fertilgold® Soil) caused plants to grow better and improve soil characteristics. The product was then released for field trial status. Objective The focus of this study was to observe if Huma® OM Soil Activator, an OMRI-Listed product for...
Huma® Fertil Soil® Increases Cotton Yield 16%, With 265% ROI
Background Application of Fertil Soil® to soils in combination with other Huma® fertilizers at various locations previously resulted in crops with improved plant growth and higher yields.
