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 as then released for field trial status. Objective The focus of this study was to observe if OM Soil Activator could improve cotton yield under...

Objective  Determine the effect on barley of adding Huma® X-Tend® B to split applications of different rates of nitrogen fertilizer.  Background  Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer (EEF) additives 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 with high levels of organic...

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...

Objective This field trial assessed the benefits of moisture infiltration enhancement that may be provided by the product Fertil Humus® at selected rates and timings.  Materials & Methods  The plot site selected for this trial was located in the southern portion of the Columbia Basin in Washington State. The Russet Burbank potato field was pivot-irrigated...

Objective  This field trial assessed the effects of an additional 4 foliar applications of Huma® 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 of July 18 through November 28...

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. ...
