SOIL HEALTH TECHNOLOGY FOR EASTERN IDAHO

HUME-8

0-0-8 Plus 1.5% Fe

Unlock what your soil is already capable of.

Fertilizer feeds the plant. HUME-8 helps the plant use it. Smarter uptake. Stronger roots. Better performance.

More Potassium Into the Plant vs. Traditional Forms

8.0%

Soluble Potash (K₂O) — In Highly Absorbable Acetate Form

1.5%

Complexed Iron (Fe) for Rapid Green-Up

Designed for modern agriculture. Built for Eastern Idaho soils.

Margins are tighter. Inputs are expensive. Weather is unpredictable. HUME-8 is a performance enhancer for your fertility program — engineered to improve nutrient availability, root development, and plant resilience. Because every dollar you put into the ground should work harder.

CARBON — REINVENTED

It moves fast. It absorbs efficiently.

Hum8 is a modified humic acid that increases the uptake of soil-applied plant nutrient solutions, is fertilizer compatible, and adds carbon content for soil microorganisms. Hum8 is a specially formulated, modified potassium humate derived from leonardite. The product offers superior solubility across a broad range of pH solutions, which allows for the highest humic content in fertilizer formulations. Concentrated humic and fulvic acid content means more complexing capacity for metal ions, more carbon content for soil microbes and higher nutrient use efficiency in every fertilizer application.

BUILT-IN STRESS SUPPORT

Nature's defense system. Built into every drop.

Kelp extract supplies naturally occurring phytohormones, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds that help plants resist environmental stress and promote root tip growth. Processed through a patented cell burst technology — no harsh chemicals, no heat — so the beneficial compounds stay intact. In heat cycles, drought stress, and high-demand growth stages, this is what keeps performance on track.

🌱

CHLOROPHYLL ACTIVATION

The green you can measure in yield.

Complexed Fe EDTA delivers immediately available iron to drive chlorophyll production and plant vigor. In high-pH, calcareous soils — where iron ties up fast — EDTA chelation keeps it plant-available. Faster green-up, better photosynthetic efficiency, and visible results even in challenging soil chemistry.

THE FORMULA

Simple Components.
One performance multiplier.

🪨

Humic & Fulvic Acid

Derived from leonardite ore. The organic acids found in the world’s most productive soils — now in yours.

  • → Increased cation exchange (CEC)
  • → Reduces nutrient leaching
  • → Stimulates microbial activity

Potassium Acetate

The most absorbable form of potassium available. Small molecule. Direct plant-tissue affinity. Non-burning.

  • → 5× uptake vs. traditional K
  • → Non-burning in all conditions
  • → Works in high-pH Idaho soils

🌿

Kelp Extract

Cold-processed via patented cell burst technology. Every beneficial compound preserved.

  • → Stress resistance & recovery
  • → Root tip stimulation
  • → Natural phytohormones & antioxidants

🪨

Humic & Fulvic Acid

Derived from leonardite ore. The organic acids found in the world’s most productive soils — now in yours.

  • → Increased cation exchange (CEC)
  • → Reduces nutrient leaching
  • → Stimulates microbial activity

🌱

Complexed Iron (Fe EDTA)

Chelated for immediate plant availability. Works even in high-pH, calcareous soils common across Eastern Idaho.

  • → Rapid chlorophyll production
  • → High-pH stable
  • → 1.5% Fe guaranteed analysis

BUILT FOR HIGH-pH, LOW ORGANIC MATTER SOILS

Your fertilizer is already expensive. Make it work harder.

Eastern Idaho soils tend to be lower in organic matter, with nutrient tie-up issues and high pH profiles that limit what your inputs can do. Humic and fulvic acids improve cation exchange capacity (CEC), enhance nutrient chelation, and reduce tie-up, so more of what you apply actually gets into the plant.

Think of it this way: Fertilizer is the fuel. HUME-8 is combustion efficiency. You get more return per dollar spent on your standard fertility program.

🌾

You're already investing in seed, fertilizer, and irrigation. HUME-8 protects that investment.

YEAR-ROUND PERFORMANCE

One product. Multiple applications.

Eastern Idaho growers face a different challenge every part of the year. HUME-8 works with your soil through all of them.

Early Growing Season

Kickstart. Early Season Vigor. Stand Establishment.

Soil is waking up and so is your competition window. HUME-8’s humic and fulvic acids activate soil microbial life faster after cold dormancy.

  • → Activates soil microbes after winter dormancy
  • → Stimulates early root growth period
  • → Sets the foundation for the entire season
Mid Growing Season

Nutrient use efficiency. Retention. Availability.

The addition of Hum8 to starter fertilizers can improve nutrient retention in the soil profile and gives healthier, higher-yielding plants. Hum8 prevents phosphorus fixation and complexes metal ions. 

  • → Improved Soil Structure
  • → Increased nutrient retention and availability
  • → Improved Cationic Exchange Capacity (CEC) in the treatment zone
Late Growing Season

Finish strong. Store deep.

Fall is when yield is made or lost. HUME-8 helps crops complete carbohydrate loading while building soil biology for next year’s program.

  • → Supports carbohydrate loading in roots and tubers
  • → Improves lignification and late-season strength
  • → Humic acids build soil organic matter for winter
  • → Reduces nutrient leaching from fall irrigation

Most programs apply HUME-8 every 14 days throughout the growing season.

Compatible with foliar, soil, and fertility tank-mix programs. Low disruption. High integration.

3 oz
per 1,000 sq ft
every 14 days
