Humus in nAture

Humification

Humic substances are biological-chemical-geological decomposition products of plant origin. The largest part of the terrestrial biomass are composed of Humic Substances, which are the single most important source of continental biomass reformation. The beneficial effects of Humic Substances in Agricultural and Medical applications stem from their Humic Acid content.

Humification

The decomposition of the biomass of plant origin starts with a chemical-biological oxidation, during which the basic compounds of Humic Substances are formed from lignins, tannins, flavonoids, glycosides, etc. Other parts of the biomass, such as proteins, cellulose and other carbohydrates decompose. Later in the Humification process most molecules undergo a transformation, that results in the formation of a quinon-hydroxi-carboxyl structure, then a polymerization. Under extreme conditions, if the deposits become exposed to water and air, the so-called re-oxidized coals are formed, which are termed as peat or „leonardite”. Only certain types of peat or „leonardite” deposits are utilized as raw material sources of high quality humic-acid-based products. Good quality peat deposits are relatively rare. And among those, the best quality is mined in Hungary. We use raw materials of exceptional quality for our production purposes. The Hungarian origin peat and leonardite deposits are of the best quality materials in the world. After careful selection and thorough physical separation of the raw material, we manufacture products for ecological farming and companies that require high quality humic acids for their formulations. By using our propriety extraction methods, we also offer different grades of purified humic acid and fulvic acid products ranging from soil conditioners and mineral fodders to the environmental protection industry and human medicine.

Humic and fulvic acids are organic complex forming molecules of exceptional vital effects that facilitate the uptake of microelements. They help the power generative and protective capacity and play a major role in detoxication. The „fourpowers” of humic acids – effective uptake, biological effect, detoxication, natural product – surpass the traditional complex formers.
