IFFCO-MC Humetsu Humic Acid: Premium Siberian Leonardite Growth Promoter (98% Purity)
Unlock the hidden potential of your soil with the "Gold Standard" of biostimulants.
IFFCO-MC Humetsu is not just an ordinary soil conditioner; it is a high-tech formulation sourced directly from the pristine Siberian Leonardite mines in Russia. Unlike cheap humates derived from coal, Humetsu is created through millions of years of natural fermentation. This results in a product that is free from heavy metals and packed with bioactive carbon.
The Mitsubishi Guarantee: Brought to you by the joint venture of IFFCO and Mitsubishi Corporation (Japan), Humetsu is designed to restore dead soil, boost white root development by up to 25%, and ensure your fertilizers work harder for you.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Explosive Root Growth: Scientifically proven to increase root mass by 25%. More roots mean better nutrient uptake and stronger anchorage.
-
🛡️
Siberian Purity: Sourced from Russia's Leonardite fields (98% purity feedstock), ensuring zero heavy metals and maximum safety for your soil.
-
⏳
Fertilizer Saver: Increases the efficiency of Urea and DAP. It prevents nutrients from leaching away, saving you money on input costs.
-
🌧️
Drought Shield: Improves the soil's water-holding capacity, helping your crops survive longer during dry spells or irregular rainfall.
-
🌿
Softer Soil: Regular use breaks down hard soil (compaction), making it soft, friable, and easier for roots to penetrate.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Humetsu works like a rechargeable battery for your soil, using three powerful mechanisms:
[Image of soil cation exchange capacity diagram]- CEC Enhancement (Nutrient Battery): Negative charges in Humetsu trap essential nutrients (like Potash and Zinc) that would otherwise wash away. It holds them in the root zone and releases them exactly when the plant needs them.
- Root Hormonal Stimulation: The active ingredients trigger the plant's natural hormones (Auxins), causing cells to stretch. This forces the plant to grow more lateral white roots to hunt for water.
- Chelation (Unlocking Nutrients): In high pH soils, nutrients like Iron get "locked." Humetsu wraps around these nutrients, making them soluble so the plant can drink them up easily.
Result: A 15-30% increase in yield and crops that stay greener for longer.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Issue / Benefit |
|---|---|
| Cereals (Paddy, Wheat, Maize) | Faster germination, more tillers, stronger roots to prevent falling (lodging). |
| Cash Crops (Cotton, Soybean) | Reduces flower/boll drop, handles drought stress, increases boll size. |
| Horticulture (Vegetables & Fruits) | Prevents transplant shock, improves fruit size uniformity and shine. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Humetsu is versatile and can be used on seeds, leaves, or soil.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Application Method | Dose (per Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray | 400 - 500 ml | 150 - 200 L | 2.5 - 3 ml | 0 |
| Soil Drenching / Drip | 1 Litre (1000 ml) | Dependent on Drip | 5 ml | 0 |
| Seed Treatment | N/A | Small quantity to coat | 5 - 10 ml per Kg Seed | N/A |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: Since Humetsu is organic and safe, it can be applied up to the day of harvest.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For best results, apply at vegetative stage (for roots) and pre-flowering stage (to prevent flower drop). Seed treatment is highly recommended for uniform germination.
- Mixing: Humetsu is compatible with most chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Mixing it with Urea/DAP actually improves their performance.
- Coverage: When spraying, ensure good coverage of the leaves. For soil application, ensure the soil has some moisture for the product to spread.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How is Humetsu different from other Humic Acids in the market?
Most cheap humic acids are made from oxidized coal (Lignite). Humetsu is made from Siberian Leonardite (Russia), which is naturally fermented over millions of years, making it 98% pure, more active, and free from toxins.
2. Can I mix Humetsu with pesticides or fungicides?
Yes, Humetsu has excellent compatibility with most plant protection chemicals. In fact, it often buffers the pH and reduces stress caused by harsh chemicals on the plant.
3. Will this help if my water is salty?
Absolutely. Humetsu helps plants regulate ion uptake, preventing sodium toxicity. It is highly recommended for farmers dealing with saline soil or water.
4. Can I use it on organic crops?
Yes, Humetsu carries organic certification. It is a natural product and is suitable for export-quality organic farming.
5. How quickly will I see results?
For seed treatment, you will see faster germination within days. For foliar spray, you will notice greener leaves and fresh growth within 5-7 days. Soil improvements (softness) accumulate over time with regular use.
