Agriculture, horticulture and the environment

What on earth is it?

HUMAC® Agro is a natural soil fertility enhancer with a high content of humic acids derived from activated Leonardite, a 100% active natural substance. The product is applied to soil or growing media during fertilisation to enhance various chemical, physical and biological processes, which in turn improve soil fertility and its properties. Humic acids are the primary source of energy for biological processes and possess the properties of physiologically active substances that regulate plant growth and development. No chemical additives were used during the manufacturing process. The product is certified for use in organic farming. Since 2020, the product has held Kosher certification for the production of Kosher-approved crops.

Suitable for use in organic farming

A natural soil fertility enhancer

with a high humic acid content (at least 62 per cent)

How does it work?

It improves soil structure – by binding together particles of sand, silt and clay to form stable soil aggregates, it improves soil aeration and water management, and significantly reduces the risk of water erosion
Retains water in the soil – improves water infiltration into the soil and its water-holding capacity; increases the volume of water available to the plant
Soil detoxifier – immobilises toxic metals, PCBs, dioxins and other toxins in the soil, thereby reducing their bioavailability and/or aiding their biodegradation
It adds macro- and micronutrients and trace elements to the soil, bound to natural amino acids in chelated form, making them readily available to plants
It improves conditions for the growth of soil bacteria and microorganisms and accelerates the decomposition of organic compounds, substrates and unused nutrients in the soil, thereby making them available to plants
It significantly increases the growth of the plants’ root system (by 30–50 per cent). A larger root system improves the plant’s resistance to drought and increases nutrient uptake, leading to faster growth
It significantly reduces the leaching of nutrients from the soil (N, P, K, Ca, Mg and other trace minerals), thereby optimising the effectiveness of fertilisation
It increases the soil’s humus content and adds organic carbon to the soil (50 per cent of its volume)
It increases plants’ tolerance to biotic and abiotic stress factors, such as fungal diseases, drought, salinity and extreme temperatures
