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.

Fall Soil Application of Fertil Humus® Increases Illinois Corn Yield and ROI
Background Feeding beneficial soil fungal activity can enhance aerobic decomposition of organic matter and build a humus-rich soil that releases nutrients tied up in crop residues. This can positively impact crop yield and lead to a higher return on investment. Objective The objective of this study was to observe how a fall application of Huma®
Humic Products Increase Soybean Yield In Iowa
Background Scientific research shows humic and fulvic acids can have a biostimulant effect on plant root growth and mass, nutrient availability and uptake, and crop yield and quality. Objective The objective of this study was to compare and contrast the immediate effects that three types of humic products from Huma®, Inc., have on soybean yield.
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.
