FAQ

General information and product features

What makes Humikal Universal products different from other humic-based products on the market?

The uniqueness of the Humikal Universal product line lies in its Hungarian-sourced raw materials, its special production technology, and its exceptionally high active humic and fulvic acid content.
 This concentration, together with the unique mode of action, ensures:

  • optimal nutrient availability
  • increased soil biological activity
  • significantly improved plant stress tolerance

As a result, growers can achieve maximum economic returns while supporting environmental sustainability.

Our products are manufactured exclusively from high-quality Hungarian raw materials containing humic substances.
 This guarantees high active ingredient concentration and consistent quality, while ensuring supply chain stability and consumer trust.

Humikal Universal products can be applied to a wide range of soil types, improving structure and fertility in sandy, clay, saline, acidic, or calcareous soils.
 Thanks to their buffering capacity, humic acids also help stabilize soil pH, creating optimal conditions for nutrient uptake.

Application & Effectiveness

At which growth stages is Humikal Universal recommended?

Humikal Universal products are effective throughout the entire crop cycle:

  • Seedling stage: stimulates root growth and reduces transplant shock.
  • After sowing/planting: supports early development and activates the root zone.
  • During vegetation: applied as foliar fertilizer to optimize nutrient uptake, enhance stress resistance (drought, heat, nutrient deficiency), and improve crop quality.
  • Soil treatment: improves soil structure, water balance, and microbial activity in the long term.

Humikal Universal products unlock existing nutrients in the soil and enhance the efficiency of nutrient uptake.
 This allows for a significant reduction in conventional fertilizer use — often by 20–30%, without compromising yields or quality (in many cases, both improve).

For farmers focusing on sustainable, chemical-free, or low-chemical farming, Humikal alone can greatly improve soil condition and plant vitality.

 For optimal dosing and fertilizer management, we recommend using our professional consultancy services.

Yes. Humikal Universal works synergistically with organic manures (e.g., farmyard manure, compost, green manure) and other soil amendments.
 Humic and fulvic acids:

  • accelerate organic matter decomposition
  • increase nutrient release and plant uptake

This maximizes the benefits of organic fertilization, optimizes nutrient cycling, and builds long-term soil fertility and biological activity.

Humikal Universal Liquid Classic enhances drought tolerance in several ways:

  • improves soil water retention by enhancing structure
  • stimulates root development, allowing plants to access deeper water
  • boosts stress resistance via antioxidant effects
  • optimizes nutrient uptake even under water scarcity
  • supports soil microbial activity, which is essential for maintaining soil moisture balance

Using Humikal Universal leads to:

  • better nutrient and water uptake
  • stronger, healthier plant growth
  • more stable — and often higher — yields

Additionally, produce quality improves with:

  • higher nutritional values
  • longer shelf life
  • improved appearance and marketability

Regular application:

  • increases soil organic matter (humus) content
  • improves soil aggregate stability
  • reduces compaction and erosion
  • stimulates microbial activity, vital for nutrient cycling and soil fertility

This results in soils that are more resilient to environmental stress and capable of sustaining high yields over the long term.

Ezáltal a talaj ellenállóbbá válik a környezeti stresszel szemben és hosszú távon is képes lesz magas hozamokat biztosítani.

Sustainability & Environmental Impact

Does Humikal Universal contribute to sustainable farming and ESG goals?

Absolutely. The product line plays a key role in sustainable agricultural practices.
 By reducing fertilizer use, improving soil organic matter, optimizing water management, and minimizing environmental impact, Humikal Universal directly supports:

  • Environmental (E) goals: resource efficiency, soil protection, climate adaptation
  • Social (S) goals: healthier food, safer farming practices
  • strengthens the ESG profile of farms and agribusinesses

Logistics & Procurement

What packaging options are available for large-scale buyers?

We offer a variety of packaging sizes tailored to the needs of large-scale operations.

Please contact our sales team for a customized quotation.

Yes. At Humikal Agro Trade Kft., we place great emphasis on partner support.
 Our trained agronomists and consultants provide assistance with:

  • product selection
  • dosage optimization
  • application technology
  • answering technical questions

This ensures that you achieve maximum efficiency from our products.

Yes. Thanks to their natural composition, Humikal products are safe and highly effective in both protected and open-field vegetable production.
 Whether growing tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, or cucumbers, Humikal:

  • stimulates root development
  • enhances nutrient uptake
  • boosts plant vitality and health
  • improves both yield quantity and quality

For orchards and vineyards, Humikal Universal can be applied:

  • Spring (pre-bud break) or autumn (post-leaf fall): as soil treatment to activate the root zone
  • During vegetation: as foliar spray to enhance stress tolerance and optimize nutrient uptake (avoid direct application immediately before harvest)

Application can be carried out via irrigation, drip systems, or direct watering into the root zone for maximum effect.

Especially valuable for flowering plants and ornamentals such as roses, hydrangeas, lavender, or annual flowers:

  • improves soil water retention and nutrient utilization
  • enhances flower longevity and intensity of colors
  • strengthens plant stands, ensuring healthier and more vigorous growth

This adds market value by improving the appearance and quality of ornamental crops.

Yes. The products are particularly recommended for sandy, dry, or structurally weak soils.
 Humic acids:

  • significantly improve water-holding capacity
  • reduce runoff and nutrient leaching
  • stimulate soil biology, enhancing aggregate formation and nutrient release

This revitalizes degraded soils, helping plants better withstand drought while promoting sustainable growth.
