Founded in 2012, Novihum Technologies developed a revolutionary stable humus concentrate that provides an organic reservoir like those at the heart of the best soils.Our product NOVIHUM® is an innovative manufactured stable humus concentrate that is indistinguishable from the high-grade organic matter reservoir found in very productive natural soils. Over twenty years of R&D show immediate and long-term benefits when it‘s applied to soils low in organic matter, including:• Higher crop yields, quality, and resilience to environmental stress• Enhanced plant root development and water-use-efficiency• Higher cation exchange capacity and soil carbon level in the root zone• Accelerated plant growth and maturationNOVIHUM® is free from bacteria, fungi, salts, odors, and pollutants. It is suitable for use in diverse climates for a wide range of annual and permanent crops.Product OriginNovihum Technologies has developed a chemical process that accelerates nature's work to produce top-quality humus in hours, using lignite (brown or soft coal) as a raw material. When lignite is formed from decomposing plant material it undergoes chemical and biological processes that are very similar to those by which humus is formed. That makes it a rich source of the molecular building blocks of stable humus. However, over millions of years underground it loses critical elements – most especially nitrogen – and becomes less useful for plants. That is where Novihum Technologies steps in, with a new patented process that restores lignite's lost chemistry, transforming it into a concentrated carbon-rich granulate that is indistinguishable from the organic matter reservoirs found in nature's best soils.
