MICRO CARBON TECHNOLOGY

A technology derived from the natural transformation of leonardite and carbon chemistry, exponentially increasing the transport and assimilation of all nutrients, with solutions adapted to 21st century agriculture.

HUMA GRO - BIO HUMA NETICS INC.

Founded in 1973, Bio Huma Netics, Inc. is a world leader in the manufacture of products based on humic substances.

From company-owned mines, it produces products rich in humic and fulvic acids, as well as patented Micro Carbon ^Technology®.

These products, derived from natural leonardite, promote increased activity of beneficial microorganisms, improved soil structure and water use, increased nutrient availability and uptake, suppression of crop pests and diseases, and the breakdown of hydrocarbons and chemical compounds.

WHAT IS MICRO CARBON TECHNOLOGY?

Micro Carbon Technology is a state-of-the-art source of leonardite transformation, with special characteristics to complement and nourish the needs of the plant.

This formula is incorporated in each and every product in the Huma Grocery catalog. Huma Grocatalog, enhancing its assimilation and functionality in the plant, both in foliar application and in fertigation.

This process has been refined for more than 20 years, involving a specific source of American leonardite together with different groups of algae, bacteria and different microoganisms that give the Technology its special characteristics.

NATURAL BREEDING PROCESS

Starting from a leonardite with different characteristics and nature compared to other refined sources, the know-how of Micro Carbon Technology is based on controlling the development process of different living organic sources that act in the decomposition and enrichment of leonardite.

By means of biodigestion, the specific size of the carbon chains is reduced, while interesting groups of sugars, natural phytohormones, enzymes, catalysts and antioxidant substances are introduced into the structure with a positive impact on the plant.

The control of the process, exposure time and leonardite production is part of the company's Trade Secret, performing the entire process in a controlled manner at its facilities located in Gilbert, Arizona.

During the leonardite transformation process, different mixtures and syrups are obtained and introduced, in different concentrations, in each of the products that are part of the Huma Gro catalog.

According to the nature of the product and as a result of many tests and research, Huma Gro produces a specific amount of syrup to increase the performance of the fertilizer and its balance on the plant, achieving significant production improvements and the correction of any type of deficiency in the crop.

The end result of Micro Carbon Technology is a naturally created type of organic structure with reduced size and very high nutrient protection properties.

Its content of carbon rings (polyphenols), simple sugars, enzymes, antioxidant substances and an excellent ratio of phytohormones make it an excellent vehicle for nutrient transport.

The leonardite digestion process does not involve any acidic or alkaline chemical components or high temperatures that cause cell damage or denaturation of the algae's natural compounds.

In this way, the maximum expression of all the parts involved is achieved, multiplying the results in the plant compared to other more aggressive technologies for the environment.

LEONARDITE: THE ORIGIN OF MICRO CARBON TECHNOLOGY

The differentiation of the process starts from a leonardite with unique characteristics compared to all refined sources of humic and fulvic acids.

Huma Gro extracts from a young, slightly oxidized leonardite mine located in Idaho, on the Canadian border. This raw material is formed by natural compression and its concentration in fulvic acids predominates over humic acids, a substantial detail to guarantee the suitability of the technological process.

The richness in functional groups, its low oxidation state and concentration in minerals such as sulfates, iron, zinc and other metals promote its unique and differentiating properties.

BIODIGESTION PROCESS

Huma Gro controls the leonardite transformation process at all times from an ideal selection of freshwater algae groups and organic matter digesting bacteria.

During the biodigestion process, leonardite is slowly transformed into shorter carbon chains, increasing its content of functional groups, polyphenols and sugar-based radicals, antioxidants, amino acids and natural phytohormones. All of these are derived from digestion by these living organisms.

Finally, the process is stabilized to obtain a particular syrup called Micro Carbon Technology, which is incorporated in different concentrations and nature to each of the products in the catalog.

Physico-chemical effects on the plant

Protection of nutrients by the most efficient functional groups (COOH and C-OH)
High nutrient exchange capacity and protection (CIC)
Presence of quinones: organic structures maintain soluble nutrients sensitive to degradation such as iron.
Increases the permeability of the cell membrane, regulating the entry and exit of water.
Increases cell elongation.
Increases nutrient and water entry at the cellular level
Increases the useful life of the crop, reducing oxidation and premature aging of the plant.

PROPERTIES AND BENEFITS OBTAINED

The end result of Micro Carbon Technology is an active formula with great capacity to protect all nutrients and increase their transport to the plant.

This process involves a large number of substances and compounds that are part of the plant and improve its energy balance. We are talking about free amino acids, simple sugars, natural phytohormones, bioactive compounds, vitamins and antioxidant substances, among others.

This gives it exclusive properties in each of its products:

Benefits at ground level

It activates groups of microorganisms that are native to the soil and seek sources of carbon and simple sugars, such as those of the Micro Carbon Technology.
The specific properties of carbon rings improve soil structure.
Improves the balance between water and oxygen, improving root volume and root development.
It buffers the impact of heavy metals and salts, which cause yield reduction in all crops.
It recovers nutrients fixed and blocked in the soil, improving the transfer of nutrients to the plant.
It reduces the plant's energy expenditure in improving soil ecology, a concept known as rhizodeposition.

Benefits at plant level

Regulates the hormonal balance of the plant.
It covers the basic physiological processes of flowering, fruit set, fattening and ripening.
Increases cell multiplication and cell expansion.
Improves the water balance of the plant, increasing the volume of water accumulated at the cellular level.
Corrects all types of macro and micronutrient deficiencies, activating and protecting each of the basic nutrients that the plant needs.
Increases the concentration of antioxidants and protective substances in the plant, improving its natural defenses.
It allows a greater accumulation of sugars to increase crop production.
It covers all the plant's needs, regardless of its physiological stage.
Increases root volume and density
It favors associations with synergistic bacteria and fungi.

Nutrient benefits

Protects all levels of nutrients, metals and non-metals.
Increases the assimilation of nutrients by physiological means.
Reduces incompatibilities between elements due to complexation reactions.
It allows to increase the efficiency of nutrients, agrochemicals and agricultural products.

Water level benefits

The Probiotics line of Bio Hum Netics is in charge of improving the properties of water by balancing the concentration of microorganisms present in it, reducing the negative impact of algae, bacteria and pathogenic nematodes and controlling the levels of organic matter, COD, BOD, etc.

Improves the balance of microorganisms in the water, promoting a natural balance.
