Gridmark Agric recommends two specific products from Humefert (AminoFix™- 3000 & Nitro-15™), but you can view all their products HERE

HumeFlo™ is a ground-breaking technology solution to subsoil compaction, utilizing the treatment of irrigation water.

Subsoil compaction, which occurs when the lower layers of soil become densely packed, is a critical issue affecting farmers worldwide.

Subsoil Compaction

For a farmer, subsoil compaction can cause a lot of challenges.

Challenges of subsoil compaction

  • Reduces soil porosity and aeration
  • Creates anaerobic conditions
  • Disrupts air circulation and water movement
  • Impedes water infiltration
  • Causes runoff and erosion
  • Hampers plant root penetration
  • Poor root development (shallow and J-shaped)
  • Reduces crop nutrient uptake

Benefits of loosening compacted subsoil

  • Healthier soil structure
  • Plant roots grow deeper to access water and nutrients.
  • Stronger, healthier plant growth
  • Increases crop yields
  • Improves water management
  • Enhances water infiltration and retention
  • Minimizes runoff and erosion
  • Reduces the need for frequent irrigation
  • Increases biological activity in the soil
  • Boosts soil nutrient availability and uptake
  • Enhances the soil’s ability to sequester carbon

By treating the irrigation water and oxidizing the minerals, the HumeFlo™ system helps to eliminate subsoil compaction and prevent it from recurring. This system is a cost-effective, easy to use, bio-friendly way to eliminate subsoil compaction and to create an ideal environment for soil microbes to flourish in.

For these soil microbes to perform at their best, they need to be continuously fed with our bio-stimulants that have the ideal ratio of carbon to nitrogen.

What is the HumeFlo™ solution?

HumeFlo™ is a unique water treatment system combining the application of nanobubbles, intense oxidation technology, and a natural complexing (or sequestering) agent (MacroPlex™).

The water is treated using a cold plasma photocatalytic oxidation process which oxidises  minerals in irrigation water.

Alongside the oxidation process, the system also treats the water with a water conditioner, MacroPlex™, which is an organic complexing (or sequestering) agent. This prevents Calcium and Magnesium cations from recombining with anions like Phosphates to become unavailable for plants.

AminoFix™- 3000

PLANT GROWTH ENHANCER AND BIOSTIMULANT 

A dark brown/black water-soluble plant hydrolysate. This high assimilable carbon content product contains natural chelates which gives it an exceptionally high cation exchange capacity (CEC). It is an excellent energy source for both microbes and plants which stimulates various metabolic processes and enhances nutrient uptake.
