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...

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  Speeding up the maturity timing of flowers and having more flowers on commercial ornamental plants will make them more marketable and help flower growers produce more potted flower plants per year. The focus of this study was to assess the effects of a natural humic product from Huma® called Micromate on the speed of...

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. ...
