Humika®

What is Humic Acid?

Soil Conditioner and Plant Growth Stimulant

HUMIKA® is a Humic Acid product in the form of a high concentrate of Humic Acid salt (potassium humate), available in solid and liquid form. HUMIKA® SC (Solid concentrate) is a solid and easily soluble in water (95% water soluble). Because it is in the form of solids and concentrates, the use of HUMIKA® will not only be more efficient and effective, but will also be easier and more practical in terms of application and transportation.

HUMIKA® is a trademark of Humic Acid products and its derivatives produced by PT. Global Growth after going through a long process of research, development and trials in laboratories and fields; raw material selection; selection of efficient and environmentally friendly production process technology; as well as product development innovation carried out by competent experts. HUMIKA® has received permission from the Ministry of Agriculture and Trade of the Republic of Indonesia. So far PT. Global Growth is the first and only producer in Indonesia to produce Humic Acid and its derivatives in solid concentrate form PT. Subur TerraGro® International was appointed as the Authorized Agent to market and sell HUMIKA products.

HUMIKA® is made from the natural mineral Leonardite obtained from the Indonesian archipelago with excellent quality because it contains high Fulvic Acid (around 40%). HUMIKA® production is processed using optimal and controlled extraction and crystallization technology to produce products with high quality and accurate concentration that can be accounted for.

Apakah Asam Humat Itu?

The active substances in humus that play a role in soil fertility are Humic Acid and Fulvic Acid compounds. These compounds are stable organic substances and are the end result of the decomposition process of organic materials. Humic Acid and Fulvic Acid are different from organic substances contained in other organic materials such as compost and manure, which are generally organic substances that are easily decomposed by soil microbes and will eventually run out.

Humic acid is an organic substance that has a complex molecular structure with high molecular weight (macromolecules or organic polymers) containing active groups. In nature, Humic Acid is formed through physical, chemical and biological processes from materials originating from plants and animals through the humification process. Because its structure consists of a mixture of aliphatic and aromatic organic compounds (which are indicated by the presence of active groups of carboxylic acid and quinoid), Humic Acid has the ability to stimulate and activate biological and physiological processes in living organisms in the soil. Meanwhile, Fulvic Acid has a shorter polymer chain, contains more oxygen elements, and can dissolve in all pH ranges so it is more reactive.

Several other important properties of Humic Acid and Fulvic Acid which are related to their role in improving soil conditions and plant growth are high Cation Exchange Capacity, large Water Holding Capacity, adsorption properties, as complexing agent (Chelating/Complexing Agent), and the ability to bind (fix) pollutants in the soil.

With these superior properties, Humic Acid can be used to increase the productivity and quality of plants in the agricultural, plantation and forestry sectors; to increase soil fertility and improve the physico-chemical properties of critical land; and can reduce the use of inorganic fertilizers so that it can reduce the impact on the environment and be economically profitable.

Functions & Benefits

The main function of HUMIKA® is as a soil conditioner and plant growth stimulant. To a certain level, it can function as an organic fertilizer (Organic Fertilizer) because it contains various macro and micro nutrients that plants need.

Improving soil structure physically and chemically (looseness, pH, water binding, colloidal properties, organic catalysts, etc.) so that it can support plant growth well and plants are not easily stressed.
Stimulates plant growth and accelerates the growth of roots or young shoots so that plants grow faster, and ultimately can improve plant quality and increase crop yields by 20-60%.
Accelerates germination or seed growth, and increases the permeability of plant cell walls so that it can increase the plant’s absorption of nutrients.
Stimulates increased soil microbiological activity which is beneficial for plant root growth.
Increasing nutrient intake (up-take) through the conversion of nutrients into available forms.
Binds and regulates nutrient release (slow release) according to plant needs so that it can increase the effectiveness of fertilizer use and reduce nutrient loss due to dissolution or evaporation.
When mixed with single or compound inorganic fertilizers, HUMIKA® can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of fertilizers, thereby reducing fertilizer use by 20-30%.
