Z-Hume is most recognized for its residue decomposing abilities using bacteria. As plant material decomposes, lignin accumulates which is an important ingredient of humus. In the process of humification, lignin unites with proteins forming a lignin proteinate complex. This renders the protein very resistant to microbial attack. Thus, nitrogen in humus is retained and only slowly released. Humus itself under-goes slow decomposition so that in well aerated soils receiving normal additions of organic material, its level remains fairly constant. This slow decomposition is of great practical importance. It provides a means whereby nitrogen, as well as simple mineral compounds, can be stored in the soil and release gradually for plant consumption. Z-Hume also serves very productively when applied in furrow with starter fertilizer. Re-establishing microbial activity is important and is exactly what occurs when Z-Hume is applied at planting.

The mix of microbes used in our product was no longer available. As a result we substituted Z-Hume into the starter program. As a liquid inoculant Z-Hume worked well even though its primary purpose was in residue digestion in the fall. After 3 years of careful research are pleased to offer X-Hume as our preferred starter inoculant. Due to its ease of use Hume is packaged in the same liquid carrier as Z-Hume. Because of widespread use of pesticides and herbicides we wanted a bacterial package that could not only promote a healthy rhizosphere but also detoxify pesticide residues. We found that in the pseudomonas bacteria species heavily favored in the X-Hume inoculant.

8-25-0-0.10Mn-0.10Zn is a special blend which provides Phosphorous in the ortho-phosphate form which means it’s immediately available to the plant. Manganese is necessary as a seed lacking this element will not grow and Zinc is important in many facets including regulating plant growth and chlorophyll formation. Crops will be off to a vigorous start with this great combination.

RL-37 is a jack-of-all-trades product. Because RL-37 contains humic acid, it aids the soil in water retention, nutrient safe keeping, waywardness correction, soil structure restoration, soil life reanimation, and erosion repair. This product also dramatically stimulates soil microbial activity. Stimulating the microbes results in a synergistic effect between the root and microbial film on the root. The film then solubilizes the nutrients from the soil making those nutrients available to the plant. Foliar applied RL-37 results in assimilation, root exudates stimulation, feeding of phyllosphere organisms, and enhanced physiology.
