Final Results & Observations
Jemmett Consulting and Research Farm | Parma, Idaho - 2022
+27.18%
Increased Yield
on US#1 Potatoes
Observations
- A 7.51% yield increase was realized in US#1 on the Humic Land™
block while fertilization was reduced by -30% - A 7.24% yield increase was realized in total marketable yield on the
Humic Land™ block with normal fertilization block - The Humic Land™ block with a -30% fertilizer obtained the same
total marketable yield as the normal fertilization block
Straight From The Grower
Jemmett Consulting and Research Farm | Parma, Idaho - 2022
The trial was conducted in grower field conditions and all required aspects of the potato trial were fulfilled according to protocol request and requirement. Ivory Russet potatoes were planted into differentially fertilized potato plots. Plots were monitored throughout the season to determine any differences in plant growth or development. Slight differences were seen in color and recorded as vigor on a scale of 0-10. Yield was taken at the end of the trial when 80% of the tops had desiccated by taking the center ten foot of row out of each plot. Yield showed a significantly lower yield in the 30% reduced N treatments without Humic land. All treatments did equally as good as the full N check, including the 30% N reduced treatment with Humic Land.

What Is Humic Land™ ?
Increases Yields | Improves Nitrogen Uptake | Reduces Watering Costs
Humic Land™ is an organic soil amendment that increases your soil's ability to cycle nutrients to relieve your fertilizer dependence.
Unlike other Humic Acids available on the market that originate from Lignite or Leonardite, Humic Land™ comes from Black Peat. A vital distinction, as not all Humic Acids are made equal. Humic Land™ is made from peat, using cavitation and fine grinding without any chemicals used in the production process.
The resulting product is a peat gel that is 100% Organic which restores soil health and prevents Nitrogen Leaching.
Rebuild your soil with Humic Land™ directly at the rhizosphere where it matters most by improving nitrogen retention. When nutrients are readily available as your crops needs them... yields increase.
