Humentos® is extracted out of lignite from the eastern part of Germany (Lusatia/Lausitz). Humentos® therefore builds on fossil minerals and natural humic acids that were created out of natural flora about 20 million years ago. To produce Humentos, humic acids with a molecular weight of 2.000 to 50.000 are chemically extracted as K-humates from the brown coal (lignite).
Humentos® supports the soil formation process due to its capacity to promote the development of clay-humus-complexes. These are in fact the true supporter of increased sorption capacity in the soil. Thus, Humentos® augments the retention capacity and consequently the availability of water and nutrients in soil. Moreover, Humentos® does not only positively affect the chemical and physical properties of soil but also takes direct effect on plant physiology and soil microbiology.
The sorption capacity of Humentos® allows the addition of macro nutrients exclusively for plant use without the risk of nutrient fixation in soil or leaching into groundwater. The nutrient complementation can be adapted to the cultivation and to local conditions to meet the particular demands of your application in e.g. agriculture, specialized crops, horticulture landscaping and green space maintenance.
Humentos® improves the physical soil structure, ion exchange processes as well as the buffering and water sorption capacity of the soil. Results of scientific investigations and experience in the field showed a substantial curative effect on cultivations and increased resistance of plants against stress such as drought, heat, cold, salinity, contaminants, and pathogens.
The advantage of Humentos® over other humus and humic acid soil products lies in its long-lasting impact and its multivalent effects due to a high number of poly-functional groups. Furthermore, it has a plant- and soil-pleasant pH.
