Conducted by: Bruce Kirksey, PhD, Agricenter International, Memphis, Tenn. Huma® Product: Huma Pro® Mix 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. Humic acid products are not all the same. They are marketed in solid...

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...

Introduction  In this study (originally published in Frontiers in Plant Science, May 2021, Vol. 12:660224), the biostimulant properties of a sedimentary shale ore-extracted humic acid (HA) were tested on Micro Tom tomato plants under increasing nutritional stress  Materials & Methods  A sedimentary lignite ore (Idaho), ground to pass a 1,000 µm sieve, was used as...

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. ...

Introduction  A field trial to test efficacy of Huma® Promax® as a cropprotection product for strawberries (Fragaria sp.) was applied in a location known to have spring disease problems with either Fusarium or Macrophomina pathogenic fungi.   This report is based on a field trial with strawberries conducted by Holden Agricultural Research and Consulting submitted on...

Background Application of phosphorus (P) fertilizers—such as triple super phosphate (TSP), monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), liquid ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and other forms—can be inefficient and, at times, not environmentally friendly. A technology that can mitigate these P fertilizer challenges without compromising yield and return on investment is highly desirable. Huma® Super Phos® is...
