Patented production
- European Patent EP3135655
- Patents and patent protection in the USA, Japan, Canada, Australia / New Zealand, Israel, South Korea, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other countries
Unique equipment
The equipment is specifically designed for producing humic and fulvic acids under the conditions described in the patent. This supports consistent quality and high purity, suitable for modern and precise application.
What distinguishes ProtoHumiX® technology
The patented technology enables the production of humic and fulvic acids with very high purity and full bioavailability of the active water-soluble fractions.
Through a precise and controlled process, unwanted impurities are minimized. In standard extracts, these impurities can:
- affect product safety
- make fine application more difficult (nozzles, drip systems, drones)
- limit the range of applications
The result is a stable product suitable for modern and precise agricultural technologies.
For sustainable agriculture
ProtoHumiX® technology is aimed at long-term solutions in agriculture and enables:
- restoration of depleted and degraded soils
- support for production in low-fertility regions
- improvement of soil structure and water regime
(within good agronomic practice) - significant yield increase
Technical specification
Composition
- Total organic matter: 31.9 %
- Humic substances – total: > 11.5 %
- Humic acid (active fraction): > 10.1 %
- Fulvic acid (active fraction): > 1.4 %
- Hematomelanic and ulmic acids: 2.0 %
- pH (0.5% solution): 8.5–9.2
- K₂O: 1.7 %
