I’m excited to share that Bio Huma Netics, Inc. (BHN) has acquired an additional building in Arizona. It’s a significant milestone for us that not only testifies to the continual progress we’re making as a company but will also serve as a building block for future expansions. [Read more…]
In a research study, originally published in Frontiers in Plant Science, May 2021, Vol. 12:660224, the biostimulant properties of humic acids (HA) were tested on Micro Tom tomato plants under increasing nutritional stress. The results confirmed the positive role humic acids play in enhancing nutrient efficiency uptake in plants.
A team of scientists from the Bio Huma Netics, Inc. (Hiarhi Monda, Ryan Fountain, and Rich Lamar) collaborated with Amy M. McKenna of the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, Ion Cyclotron Resonance Facility, to conduct this research. The researchers believe that the increasing demands for biostimulants in the agricultural market requires the industry to provide research-based data on the efficiency and safety of this particular product category. This was the motivation that led them to initiate this extensive research. [Read more…]
A recent field trial on green chile peppers has concluded that Promax® and Zap® treatment is noticeably effective in lowering the parasitic nematode population while improving the beneficial microbe population. This positive effect on the soil biology boosted the yield of green chile peppers and resulted in an increased profit for the farmer.
Probiotic Solutions® is sponsoring a Wastewater Microbiology course with microbiologist & certified operator Dr. Toni Glymph-Martin in Arizona on August 30-31, 2022.
The 2-day in-person course will cover various key topics related to wastewater microbiology including, but not limited to, microscopy, filamentous bacteria, etc. Attendees will also get a chance to participate in various hands-on learning activities for a better understanding. To know more about the course, watch a 2.5-minute video of Heather Jennings, Director of Probiotic Solutions and Dr. Glymph-Martin in which they discuss the course. [Read more…]
Our Water Break podcast has made a splash by reaching the milestone of 5,000 downloads this week. The steady growth of this project feels like a pat on the back and helps us stay motivated to come up with new content for our listeners each month.
According to the statistics report from Blubrry, our podcast hosting service, we have completed 5,014 downloads so far! It’s interesting to know that during the last 30 days we noted a 34% increase in downloads. Since we are now averaging close to 300 downloads per month, many would agree that these numbers look great for a podcast that caters to a very specific audience.

Senior Director of Humic Research

We are accustomed to seeing humic substances (humic and fulvic) in dry/granular form, and we tend to think of acids as liquids. So why are humic and fulvic substances called acids?All substances, solid AND liquid, have a chemical makeup. An acid is a chemical that can donate a proton (H+) to a water molecule (H2O, which would form H3O+) or to another chemical such as ammonia (NH3, which would form NH4+).
To help increase awareness about sustainable agriculture production, Bio Huma Netics, Inc., (BHN) is sponsoring a FarmProgress course for Certified Crop Advisers (CCAs) and Pest Control Advisers (PCAs) in the United States and Canada.
This free online continuing education course, titled “Organic/Sustainable Agriculture Production -2022” aims to help working professionals learn about sustainable farming practices and pest management without the use of synthetic chemicals.
During the training, participants will learn about most common pests in organic/sustainable agricultural systems and current methods of controlling insect pests, weeds, and diseases in a range of organic crops grown in the United States.
The two-hour duration course is divided into ten sections and allows participants to complete it at their own pace.
Over 50 years ago, on April 22, 1970, 20 million Americans took to the streets to protest environmental destruction and to celebrate the wonders of Planet Earth. The basic message was that we had to find new ways to live our lives, raise our food, and conduct our businesses that were environmentally friendly and sustainable—that would not waste resources or pollute the air, the water, or the soil.
In the early 1970s, Bio Huma Netics and Mesa Verde Humates were independently formed to provide earth-friendly agricultural products and soil and wastewater bioremediation products.
