We tested two areas with same soil components and same sowing dates. After use, the mid-year growth and development of the cereals were noticeably denser, stronger and calasier in the treated areas. Our final yield was 3.2 tonnes per hectare. We will surely use it again next year!

The great advantage of fertilizers is that they dissolve quickly and well, so this had to be examined first for the Humikal soil conditioner product. I conducted a solubility test in a glass, during which I observed that the water quickly turned black and the product dissolved with minimal sediment formation.

The plantation where we tested the product is an abundantly productive plantation in Érd, planted in 2015 with a 5*3 spacing. The goal at the time of planting was 20 kg per tree, envisioning a plantation that is easy to harvest and can also be harvested by mechanical shaking. At the end of March 2023, 550 kg of Humikal was applied by hand spreading at the tree's drip line, followed by incorporation with a side tiller the next day. The plantation consists of 44 rows, 24 rows were treated, and 20 rows remained as an untreated control area. After the spreading, watering was not necessary as nature took care of it; there was good and abundant rainfall in April and May.
