FAQs
The Natural Way to Build Fertile, Productive Soils
Huma’s OM 2–6 mm is a natural humic product processed from naturally occurring, oxidized humic lignite. It provides a concentrated source of humic substances and is a supplemental source of trace elements. Humic substances add organic matter to soils—which stimulates soil microbial life and soil fertility, enhances plant nutrient availability and uptake, improves root development and root mass and growth, and increases crop quality and yield.
OMRI-Listed® OM 2–6 mm is ground and screened to a uniform crumble (contains less than 3% dust) ideal for mixing with other dry inputs that are not hygroscopic. It can be applied to all soils—broadcast in fall, post-harvest, or early spring—either pre-plant or with seed. Incorporation is not required. It can be applied in bands, either with seed, fertilizer, or after planting.
