University and Government Testing
PALM TREES
Purpose of Test: Study of the effect of Humega™ on leaching of urea ammonia, nitrate nitrogen, and potassium.
The study found that Humega™ added to chemical fertilizers reduced the leaching of nitrogen and potassium by 4.5%.
VEGGIES
University of Melbourne – Location: Melbourne, Australia
Purpose of Test: Testing Humega’s ability to hold moisture during times of drought in vegetable crops.
Humega ™ test plots were programmed to receive 50% less water than conventionally irrigated plots. Fertilizer regimens were identical. Humega™ treated plots realized an increase in yield, quality, and rise against the conventional plots. Crops treated were cabbage, lettuce, and carrots.
POTATOES
Purpose of Test: Testing whether the addition of Humega™ to a standard chemical fertilizer program would show an increase in yield.
Twenty gallons of Humega™ was added in two applications. Treated fields produced 68 cwt/ac or 20% greater yield than a conventional program. Treated fields also produced more 4 to 7 ounce tubers. Five varieties were tested with similar results in all testing plots.
RICE
Ulu Dedap Government Testing – Location: Seberang Perak, Malaysia
Purpose of Test: Study of Humega™ and BioFlora foliars improve to rice yields. Humega™, and BioFlora Calcium 6%, and DynaMega™ 2-1-1 were added to test plots.
Results found that treated plots increases tiller quantity and grains per panicle, (more weight per 1,000 grains).
CHILE PEPPERS
New Mexico State University – Location: Las Cruces, New Mexico
Purpose of Test: To see if Humega™ added to soil fertility program could help reduce chili root rot (P capsici + Fusarium spp).
Test plots with 5 gallons of Humega™ and 2 gallons of BioFlora 4-9-4 foliar spray had 71.3% fewer dead plants and 70.6% more harvestable chilies than the control plots.
CELERY
Holden Research Laboratories – Location: Oxnard, California
Purpose of Test: Ascertain that humic acid products when added to a conventional fertilizer program may produce any measurable difference in yield.
Four different humic acid products were tested against a conventional fertilizer control. Every humic acid product produced a higher yield than the conventional chemical fertilizer. Humega™ had over a 40% higher yield than the next highest humic acid product. When total production costs were calculated for individual plots the Humega™ treatment produced $825 per acre more celery than the next highest yield ($385 per acre increase).
