A Real Solution
to a Real Problem
The Crisis:
In short, we are going to be a lot more people with a lot less access to food and water. We will have dangerously little resources to provide basic nutrition for even half of the world’s population. Imagine the impact on the Middle East alone.

The Crisis in the Middle East:
Consume too much water during irrigation (thinking it necessary for plant growth, wasting our limited water supply)
Use harmful, unhealthy, and artificial tactics (chemical fertilizers, pesticides & herbicides barely useful in the short-term)
Rely heavily on imported food & produce (lacking self-sufficiency, when we can provide ourselves with so much more)
All this translates into having created ill soil conditions in lands that were never sick to begin with, but simply lacking the right nutritional content and support. We only make things worse for our soil with our continued dependence on the wrong methods – methods that do nothing in the long-term.
Radically reduce water consumption(storing & retaining water in the soil, even drawing in humidity from the air)
Diffuse dependency on chemical additives (no need to add pesticides, herbicides & other harmful artificial substances)
Increase quality & quantity of local produce (maximize the quality, nutritional content & output volume of local produce)
The Solution:
BIOHUMIN possesses and provides the most natural way to make our soil healthy and increase its viability.
BIOHUMIN®
What is this process, and how does it work? Nature takes many years to regenerate, revitalize and build optimal
nutritional health and fertility in the soil; BIOHUMIN achieves this in a fraction of the time.
With BIOHUMIN, nature’s power is now tangible, manageable and profitable.
A Natural Process…
…through Natural Products.
BIOHUMIN®
What does BIOHUMIN do, exactly?
1. Soil Regeneration & Enrichment
2. Healthier Plant/Crop Production
3. Other Specialized Applications
Taking the Right Action Today,
Secures the Right Tomorrow.
BIOHUMIN®
1. Soil Regeneration & Enrichment:
Infuses Essential Nutrition into the soil, giving it Health & Vitality Cleanses & Conditions the soil, clearing it from harmful substances Brings the soil to Neutral PH levels, maintaining Equilibrium longer Protects the soil from spoiling agents, defending it against diseases Optimizes Soil Quality, retaining crucial liquid and mineral content
The earth doesn’t need us;
We need the earth.
Soil Regeneration:

The Future is NOW,
The Future is BIOHUMIN.
Quality:
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort,
intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice
of many alternatives.
Our Future is NOT in our Oil;
It is in our Soil.

PRIMARY FACTS
Consideration
Nursery period irrigation:
• 600L / Tree / Day for the first 5 days
• 300L / Tree / Day for the next 40 days
Total = 15,000L / Tree
After planting palm trees in a soil mix comprised of 5%
BIOHUMIN°, water consumption was reduced in this most critical phase in the life of a tree by more
than 6.5 times!
Nursery period irrigation:
• 50L / Tree / Day throughout all 45 days
(25L, twice daily: morning & late afternoon)
Total = 2,250L / Tree

SOIL TEMPERATURE
BIOHUMIN°The difference between average sandy desert soil surface temperatures at the base of each palm and those observed over the BIOHUMIN° soil mixture is between 10 to 15
degrees (Celsius) cooler in the BIOHUMIN soil. In addition, temperature fluctuations in the sand are severe – creating a highly stressful situation for plants in this critical
phase, while those in BIOHUMIN° soil fluctuate much more lightly, enabling plants to transition more smoothly into their new environment, free from such strain.
Conventional BIOHUMIN°
SOIL HUMIDITY
Loss of water due to evaporation, transpiration and drainage is significantly slower in the BIOHUMIN° soil than in the sandy desert soil. Sandy soil conditions cannot hold onto water effectively around tree root systems – losing most of it very quickly to the
depths below and the atmosphere above, while BIOHUMIN° makes it possible to retain water around the roots for much longer and reserves it for continuous use by the tree.
Conventional BIOHUMIN°
SOIL SALINITY
Soil surface salt deposits arise from using a heavy amount of water during irrigation in a needy soil condition that cannot manage to keep up adequate water reserves around plant roots for plant use. Here, both the forces of drainage and evaporation occur very quickly with high osmotic pressure pulling up salts from deep below the surface with great ease. In BIOHUMIN° soil, however, all of the above is avoided.
Replanting Stress
Up to 20% of palms planted conventionally either weaken at the heart or are lost due to the high readjustment stress
No evidence of stress or weakness observed in any palm hearts after replanting
in BIOHUMIN° soil
Tree Base Technique
A ring-like reservoir basin is formed around the base of
each tree in order to keep the irrigation water from running
off & away from the tree base
There is no use or need for such reservoirs at the base
of trees planted in BIOHUMIN°
Tree Base Cloth Use
A sizeable amount of cloth is used to cover the area
around the base of each tree intended to help reduce wild
grass growth and evaporation
With BIOHUMIN°, there is no need for further use of this system. Even if some wild grass grows, the palms will not have to compete with them, but they will in turn work together naturally
