FAQs

The Organic Solution for Stimulating Soil and Crops 

Huma’s K HUME® OM is a natural humic and fulvic acid product processed from naturally occurring, oxidized humic substances. Humic and fulvic acids 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. 

K HUME OM is a 70% humic and fulvic acid activated with a potassium coating that becomes an excellent soil conditioner. Improved solubility (76% soluble) speeds activity in the soil for enhanced microbial uptake and growth. The product is coated and screened to various particle sizes (the standard size is 1–3 mm, custom sizes are available). It also contains many supplemental natural minerals in trace amounts

50 lb. Paper Kraft Bags – Our fifty-pound bags are “blow-in” type bags with 2 paper layers and an inner layer of impermeable plastic. Air holes in the bags allow the product to be blown in through an opening in the top of the bag. This opening is self-closing when the bag is filled to capacity. Fifty-pound bags are stacked on 40×48″ pallets for shipping, with 45 bags to the pallet (2,250 pounds of product per pallet. The pallets themselves weigh 50 pounds). Shrink wrapping of palleted bags is available upon request. The bags are a plain brown paper with no printing. Pre-printed customer bags can be filled upon request.

1Ton Mini Tote Bags – The most popular method for shipping our products is in mini-bulk bags, each of which holds approximately 1 ton of product. These bags are made of a synthetic material and are resistant to moisture. The bags are “duffel top”, meaning they can be tied closed at the top. A spout on the bottom of the mini-bulk bags is tied closed for filling and can be opened to allow dumping of the product into a hopper or mixer. Straps at the four top corners of the bags allow easy handling with a forklift. We can ship mini-bulk bags on pallets (36×26″) upon request.

Bulk – Granular humate products can be shipped in larger bulk storage containers such as grain trucks (hoppers), belt trailers, etc. Please inquire if you are interested in bulk shipments.

SEED BED AND SEEDLING PLANTED BEDS: Apply 3-4 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft/ of area. Mix K Hume in top 6″ of bed or mix in media prior to filling bed.

Huma Pro® Stimulates Rhizophagy Cycle of Microbes to Increase Root Growth

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.

Why Are Humic Substances Called Acids?

By Richard Lamar, PhD Senior Director of Humic Research Bio Huma Netics, Inc. We are accustomed to seeing humic substances (humic and fulvic) in dry/granular form, and we tend to think of acids as liquids. So why are humic and fulvic substances called acids? All substances, solid AND liquid, have a chemical makeup. An acid
