Humikal application in one pass with sowing – a modern and efficient solution in sunflower cultivation

Why is it advantageous to apply it in one pass with sowing?

Applying humic acids in one pass with sowing offers several economic and agronomic advantages.

Key benefits:

Time and fuel savings, as no separate application pass is required
The product is placed directly into the seed furrow, where it is most needed for plant development
Faster early growth and stronger root formation
More efficient nutrient utilization
Reduced soil compaction, as the number of machine operations is decreased
Easy integration into sowing technology

This is especially advantageous during the busy spring season, when precise timing of all field operations is crucial.

Practical experience in sunflower cultivation

In a combined field trial conducted on a 7-hectare farm area, different forms of Humikal Universal were applied under various cultivation systems.

The application was carried out in one pass with sowing, directly into the seed furrow, under different nutrient supply levels:

in combination with fertilizer
without fertilizer

Main objectives of the trial:

to evaluate the flexibility of the Humikal technology
to assess its applicability in both conventional and regenerative farming systems
to demonstrate the efficiency of precise application

Based on the observations, one-pass application:

can be easily integrated into the sowing process
enables precise dosing
works well in combination with starter fertilization
supports early plant development

Why does Humikal work effectively when applied in one pass with sowing?

Humikal Universal granules support both soil and plant development due to their high humic acid and organic matter content.

Practical effects of Humikal:

Activates soil biological activity
Stimulates root zone development
Improves soil water utilization
Enhances uptake of micro- and macroelements
Reduces early-stage stress effects

Applying it in one pass with sowing is especially effective because the active substances act directly in the zone where germination and root formation take place.

Environmentally friendly composition and cost efficiency

Due to the continuous rise in input costs and the increasingly limited time windows for field operations, efficient application technologies have become highly important for farmers today.

The application of Humikal Universal granules in one pass with sowing is a solution that:

reduces the number of field operations
optimizes application accuracy
improves early plant development
may contribute to more stable yield results

Fewer passes – more precise application – better establishment:
this is one of the key principles of modern sunflower cultivation.
