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.

POTASSIUM — REINVENTED

It moves fast. It absorbs efficiently.

HUME-8 delivers 8% soluble potash in potassium acetate form — a smaller molecule with a natural affinity for plant tissue. Up to 5× more absorbable than traditional potassium sources. It fuels stress resistance, root expansion, enzyme activity, carbohydrate and protein synthesis, and magnesium uptake. In Eastern Idaho’s high-pH soils where standard K can tie up fast — this form gets in.

🌿

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

Four components.
One performance multiplier.

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. Every season.

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

🌱
SPRING
Kickstart. Root hard. Go early.

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, while kelp extract drives root tip development right when seedlings need it most.

  • → Activates soil microbes after winter dormancy
  • → Stimulates early root mass before peak demand
  • → Improves nutrient availability in cold, slow soils
  • → Sets the foundation for the entire season
☀️
SUMMER
Heat. Drought. No problem.

Eastern Idaho summers push crops hard. High temps, moisture stress, and peak nutrient demand hit all at once. Potassium acetate fuels stress response, while kelp's antioxidants accelerate heat event recovery.

  • → Fuels carbohydrate synthesis under heat stress
  • → Kelp phytohormones improve drought recovery
  • → Keeps chlorophyll production high when Fe ties up
  • → Maintains uptake during peak growth demand
🍂
FALL
Finish strong. Store deep.

Fall is when yield is made or lost. HUME-8 helps crops complete carbohydrate loading, lignify properly, and prep for dormancy — 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
❄️
WINTER
Prep the soil. Win next spring.

The best spring program starts with fall and winter soil prep. HUME-8's leonardite-derived humates bind to the soil matrix and improve CEC — so nutrients applied at planting have somewhere to hold.

  • → Pre-plant humate applications improve soil structure
  • → Increases CEC to hold spring-applied N, P, K
  • → Leonardite humic acids persist through freeze
  • → Builds the organic foundation for spring

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.
