What is Micro Carbon Technology (MCT)?

Micro Carbon Technology (MCT) is a proprietary blend of extremely small organic carbon- and oxygen-rich molecules that act as a source of carbon and provide an ultra-efficient vehicle to move nutrients and other molecules into the plant through the soil and/or the leaves.

Where does MCT come from?

The beginning of MCT can be traced back to 1973, when Huma Gro scientists discovered a unique organic material that, when applied to farm fields, improved both the soil’s fertility and the plants’ nutrient uptake. They knew this material to be composed of many organic acids similar to leonardite. The product is a soft, humic material and light brown in colour, that is highly mineralised and rich in carbon, that was never compressed or heated to become coal. There is only one unique place on the planet where this small carbon molecule was formed millions of years ago.

What can MCT-based products do that other products do not?

MCT is an ultra-efficient delivery system that allows growers and crop managers to achieve far more with much less product. With MCT, you can lower input volume while increasing yield. Many inputs harm the soil. Huma Gro products have a positive environmental impact while promoting overall soil and plant health. Also, MCT acts as an instantly available source of carbon within the plant and soil that is able to be immediately used by the plant.

What are the key benefits of micro carbon technology?

Greater specific surface area.
Buffer the soil – pH & EC
Cation exchange capacity (CEC) is over 4000, compared to Fulvic acid with a CEC of 900 – 1400 and Humic acid with a CEC of 500 – 870.
Ultra-efficient source of carbon that is instantly available.
Complexes with metallic & non-metallic ions
Versatile delivery – can be applied as foliar or soil applications
Low energy required to uptake nutrients and protect them from being tied or locked up.
MCT is so small it can enter through the leaves stomata to the xylem and phloem and can correct deficiencies within hours.
