HUMAC
For lawns
A lush, green lawn and hard-wearing playing fields: Soil health comes first
Improved regrowth • Resistance to drought and wear • Less fertiliser required
Achieve long-term sustainability and keep your lawn in top condition with HUMAC® Agro soil conditioner, which is based on activated natural humic acids.
Lawns and playing fields face constant stress – heavy use, drought, heat and chemical treatments. Healthy soil with good structure is key to the growth of a strong root system. Without strong roots, the turf is susceptible to disease, wears out quickly and struggles to recover.
The solution? HUMAC® for Lawns is a product based on HUMAC® Agro, which has a high content of natural humic acids. These organic compounds improve soil structure, enhance water retention and aeration, and thus ensure long-term sustainability.
How HUMAC® helps
Activated natural humic acids play a key role in grass cultivation and offer a number of benefits:
💧 1. Improved water retention and drought
resistance Humic acids help the soil retain more water. By creating so-called ‘pedos’ (micro-cracks), they improve soil structure and increase the lawn’s resistance to stress caused by drought and heat.
🌱 2. A strong root system and dense growth
. These promote root growth and help roots penetrate the soil more effectively. This leads to stronger plants and a healthier lawn overall, resulting in a more attractive and denser lawn with a beautiful green colour.
🧪 3. Efficient use of nutrients and savings on fertilisers
They increase the availability of nutrients to plants. They ensure that accumulated mineral nutrients in the soil are utilised and reduce the leaching of nutrients from the soil, making it possible to reduce the application rate of artificial fertilisers.
🛡️ 4. Soil
detoxification and long-term soil health They help to rid the soil of toxic substances from chemical sprays. They capture a wide range of toxins and retain them in the soil, thereby contributing to soil recovery and long-term sustainability.
Benefits for sports grounds
For surfaces subject to heavy wear, HUMAC® offers additional benefits:
- Resistance to wear and tear: Strengthening the lawn’s root system increases its resistance to wear and tear caused by heavy use.
- Rapid recovery: Helps the lawn recover more quickly after damage, for example after winter or following repairs.
- Improvement of the microclimate: By trapping toxins in the soil, their release into the surrounding environment is prevented, which also results in improved air quality on the pitch and in the surrounding area.
Dosage
HUMAC® for lawns is easy to apply and can be used all year round.
| Product form | Dosage | App |
| Pellets (8 mm) | 200–500 kg/ha (depending on soil conditions) | The product is simply spread onto the soil using standard fertiliser spreaders. |
| Powder (0.0–0.4 mm) | 200–500 kg/ha (depending on soil conditions) | It is worked into the topsoil or spread over the soil. |
Proven results in practice
In 2024, a demonstration trial was carried out on a football pitch in Clonbure, Ireland. The aim was to demonstrate how HUMAC® for turf can improve the condition of the grass cover in the long term. At the end of May, approximately 375 kg of the product was applied to an 800 m² area of the pitch. The pitch was subsequently left unused for three months, allowing the activated humic acids to act undisturbed and form humic complexes. The result is evident at first glance and was recorded on 24 August 2024. The visible improvement in the colour, density and overall condition of the turf clearly confirms the product’s high effectiveness in restoring and revitalising heavily used areas.
