Humetsu - Humic Acid Bio-Stimulant - IFFCO-MC
Item description
IFFCO-MC Humetsu Humic Acid (98% Pure) - Siberian Yield Booster
Revitalize your soil and boost crop yields with the power of Siberian Leonardite.
IFFCO-MC Humetsu is a premium biological growth promoter derived from the world-famous Leonardite mines of Siberia, Russia. Unlike standard conditioners, this formulation uses 98% pure raw material to restore dead soil, creating a nutrient-rich environment for your crops.
Best For: Farmers looking to fix hard soil, improve root whiteness, and increase fertilizer efficiency by preventing nutrient leaching.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Faster Germination: Treatments show up to 20% faster seed germination and uniform stand establishment.
- ?️ Stress Shield: Helps crops survive extreme heat, drought, and salinity by boosting internal water retention.
- ⏳ Higher Yields: Proven to increase overall production by 15% to 30% across cereals, fruits, and vegetables.
- ?️ Soil Softener: Breaks down hard, compacted soil, allowing roots to breathe and water to penetrate deeper.
- ? Explosive Roots: Stimulates 25% more root mass (especially white roots) for maximum nutrient uptake.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Humetsu acts as a bridge between the soil and the plant, optimizing the environment for maximum growth.
- Nutrient Chelation (The Magnet Effect): It binds to essential nutrients like Potassium, Iron, and Zinc, preventing them from being locked up in the soil and making them easily absorbable by plant roots.
- Root Zone Modification: It improves soil aeration and water-holding capacity, creating "crumbs" in the soil that allow delicate roots to expand rapidly.
- Hormonal Stimulation: It triggers natural plant hormones (auxins) that signal the plant to produce more lateral roots and defend against environmental stress.

Target Crops & Benefits
| Crop | Key Benefit / Target Stage |
|---|---|
| Cereals (Rice, Wheat, Maize) | Increases tillering, boosts grain filling, and strengthens stems. |
| Cash Crops (Cotton, Soybean) | Reduces flower/boll drop and improves drought resistance. |
| Horticulture (Vegetables, Fruits) | Prevents transplant shock, ensures uniform fruit size and shine. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray (All Crops) | 400 - 500 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2.5 - 3 ml | 0 |
| Soil Drenching / Drip | 1 Litre | Variable | 5 - 10 ml | 0 |
| Seed Treatment | - | - | 5 - 10 ml / Kg Seed | 0 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. (0 Days indicates this product is safe to harvest immediately).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply during vegetative growth and pre-flowering stages. For soil health, mix with basal fertilizer (Urea/DAP) during sowing.
- Mixing: Humetsu is compatible with most chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Always perform a small jar test first.
- Coverage: For foliar sprays, ensure uniform coverage on leaves. For soil application, ensure the product reaches the root zone via irrigation.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Humetsu compatible with Urea or DAP?
Yes, mixing Humetsu (1 Litre/acre) with Urea or DAP
is highly recommended. It coats the fertilizer granules,
preventing nutrient loss and making the fertilizer work harder for
your crop.
2. Can I use this for Organic Farming?
Yes, Humetsu is derived from natural sources and is
certified for use in organic farming, making it suitable for
export-quality produce.
3. What is the difference between Humetsu and normal
Humic Acid?
Humetsu is sourced from
Siberian Leonardite (Russia), which is naturally
fermented over millions of years. It has higher bio-activity
and is free from heavy metals compared to cheaper coal-based
humates.
4. How quickly will I see results?
Visual results like "greener leaves" can be seen
within 5-7 days of foliar spray. Soil texture improvements
(softer soil) are noticeable after consistent use over a season.
5. Does it help with salty water/soil?
Yes. Humetsu helps buffer the roots against salt
stress (salinity), allowing the plant to drink water even in
high-salt conditions.
