Hortimed Humus Biostimulant

Solid brown drop-shaped icon on white background.

Sapropel based plant biostimulant

Hortimed HUMUS Biostimulant is based on sapropel and contains naturally active substances such as humic and fulvic acids that gently support plants throughout all growth stages. It promotes root development, improves water and nutrient uptake, helps reduce environmental stress, and contributes to better crop quality and yield.

CE-marked under EU Regulation 2019/1009

Application

Seed treatment: Replace part of the water used for seed treatment with 1–2 L of biostimulant per ton of seeds.

Foliar application: Apply 2 L/ha per application, 3–4 times during the season. Use at least 200 L/ha of water. Recommended spray nozzle size: 0.03–0.09 mm; sprayer pressure: 1.5–6 bar.

In-furrow application: Apply 2 L/ha. Recommended spray nozzle size: 0.03–0.09 mm.

Fertigation: Use 10 L per application, with 3–4 applications depending on the crop cycle.

Drip irrigation: Use 10 L per application, with 3–4 applications depending on the crop cycle.

Key benefits

• Supports seed germination and healthy root development, leading to better water absorption and more efficient nutrient uptake from soil or substrate.

• Enhances nutrient availability through the cation exchange capacity provided by humic and fulvic acids.

• Improves fertilizer efficiency across different application methods, including foliar feeding, fertigation, and drip irrigation.

• Particularly effective during early growth stages, after winter, and during drought periods, while also helping improve poor soil and substrate conditions.

Stress reduction

Our biostimulant helps plants better withstand abiotic stress, including extreme weather conditions. This improved resilience supports healthier growth, more consistent yields, and can help accelerate plant development, allowing harvests up to 2 weeks earlier compared to crops grown without the biostimulant.

Certified quality

Hortimed HUMUS received CE marking under EU Regulation 2019/1009 based on scientifically validated yield increase performance demonstrated in independent field trials.

Hortimed HUMUS Biostimulant is certified by Ecocert and OMRI, confirming that it meets high standards of quality and sustainability. These certifications provide added confidence for environmentally conscious growers looking for reliable solutions suitable for organic farming.

Cost savings

By improving nutrient efficiency, our biostimulant can help reduce the need for additional fertilizers and lower overall fertilization costs by up to 30%. This not only supports cost efficiency but also contributes to more sustainable farming practices.

Integration with other products

Hortimed’s biostimulant is compatible with a wide range of agricultural inputs, including fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides. This allows it to be integrated easily into existing fertilization and crop protection programs, helping to improve overall efficiency and effectiveness.
