Objective  To demonstrate the effects of Huma® products X-Tend®, Fertil Humus®, Fertil Soil®, and Zap® on the reduction of nitrogen and phosphorus leaching in Immokalee sandy soils.  Background  The leaching of nitrogen and phosphate fertilizers presents an ongoing problem in Florida soils. Agricultural amendments that reduce leaching when applied to soils or when mixed with...

Objective  This field trial assessed the effects of 3 foliar applications of Huma® Breakout® at different growth stages during the growing season on the yield of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum, variety PHY312) when compared with the grower’s standard crop nutrition program.  Materials & Methods  This trial was set up in a complete randomized-block design of 10’...

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...

Objective  Huma® Zap® has been shown to improve crop yield and soil conditions. This report illustrates some of the ways Zap® improves soil characteristics such as water-holding capacity and structure.  Materials & Methods  In this study, two sets of soil in pots were saturated with either water or 3% Zap® solution. None of the pots...

Objective  This field trial assessed the effects of Promax® and Zap® on top of fumigation—plus additional foliar applications of 4 Huma® fertilizer products—on the yield of Portola strawberries when compared with the grower’s standard crop nutrition program.  Materials & Methods  This trial was set up in a complete randomized-block design conducted during the growing season...

Objective  The purpose of this research project was to evaluate how humic acids stimulate microbial activity and initiation of the rhizophagy cycle (in which plants cultivate microbes on their roots and then absorb them to extract their nutrients). Huma® Huma Pro®, a liquid 6% humic acid product, was used as the humic acid biostimulant source. ...
