Sustainable Soil Fertility Products
Huma® Sustainable Soil Fertility products improve the quality of soil by feeding the nutrients necessary to increase the activity of beneficial bacteria and fungi in crop fields. This increased microbial activity delivers many benefits to the soil, such as improving soil physical properties and increasing mineral availability. More importantly, these organisms break down available organic matter into nutrient-rich humus — the key element in highly productive soils.
By improving soil structure, Huma® Soil Fertility products increase moisture retention and aeration, bringing more effective distribution of water, oxygen, and nutrients directly to the plants’ root zones. Improved root mass development promotes better seedling emergence and faster starts. Extensive root growth, particularly in the early stages of plant development, helps increase plant tolerance to adverse environmental conditions, even during periods of extreme heat or drought.
Zap®
Huma® Zap® carbon-complexed with Micro Carbon Technology® is an organic-based formulation of nutrients for feeding the native beneficial soil microbial balance. Zap® feeds a strong, vigorous soil biology, which indirectly results in the natural improvement of soil health.
Fertil Soil®
Huma® Fertil Soil® carbon-complexed with Micro Carbon Technology® improves soil structure and feeds the beneficial bacteria activity in the soil. This balances the carbon-oxygen ratio, creating a carbon-rich soil that allows the soil and rhizosphere interface to be more active. Fertil Soil® increases...
Fertil Humus®
Huma® Fertil Humus® carbon-complexed with Micro Carbon Technology® has the nutrients necessary to feed beneficial fungal activity in the soil and to increase carbon and nutrient availability in the root zone. Fertil Humus® enhances aerobic decomposition of organic matter and builds a humus-rich soil,...
OM Soil Activator
Carbon-complexed with Micro Carbon Technology®, OMRI-Listed Huma® OM Soil Activator improves soil structure and enhances the beneficial soil microbial community. This balances the carbon-oxygen ratio, creating carbon-rich soil with an active rhizosphere. Huma® OM Soil Activator increases availability of nutrients blocked by mineralization in...
Encapsalt®
Huma® Encapsalt® combines nutrients with surfactants based in a Micro Carbon Technology® base that helps diminish salt stress in the root zone. Encapsalt® is also used to break free the Na ion, allowing irrigations to move salts down into the soil profile....
Kleenup™
Huma® Kleenup™ is a nutrient and soil surfactant formulation with Micro Carbon Technology® that creates a favorable soil environment, improves aeration, and increases the water-holding capacity of soils. Kleenup™ buffers heavy metals from being toxic to roots and breaks the hydrocarbon chains to...
Surf-Max®
Huma® Surf-Max® carbon-complexed with Micro Carbon Technology® is a blend of non-ionic surfactants designed to improve both penetration and lateral movement of water within the root zone and increase soil moisture retention. By improving the infiltration and distribution of water in the soil profile,...
Case Studies
Huma® Promax® and Zap® Decrease Charcoal Rot in Florida Strawberry, With Increased Yield and ROI of 10:1
Background Charcoal rot, caused by the soil-borne pathogen Macrophomina phaseolina, can be a significant threat to strawberry production. Two Huma® products, Promax® and Zap®, had previously been shown to be successful in managing soil-borne diseases in strawberries. Objectives The primary objectives of this study were to assess the efficacy of Promax® and Zap® in reducing...
Huma® Fertilizer Program Improves Potato Yield by 5%, With 200% ROI
Background Huma® liquid fertilizer programs with Micro Carbon Technology® provide growers with efficient crop nutrients via foliar spray or irrigation at the exact time crops need them. Precision timing of efficient nutrition provides better crop yield and quality. Objective The focus of this study was to assess how the efficient Huma® nutritional products affect potato...
X-Tend® B With Micro Carbon Technology® Improves Barley Yield and Net Income: Year 3
Background Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer (EEF) additives can improve crop production. Humates have been shown to improve crop yield. The Huma® EEF additive X-Tend® B is a concentrated Micro Carbon Technology® product derived from humates with high levels of organic acids and nutrients that is formulated to be blended in liquid fertilizers or to be impregnated...
