Supporting Sustainable Farming - The Benefits of Humic Land™ by Rogitex
Supporting Sustainable Farming
Who We Are Rogitex is a family run business in operation for 40 years. Several years ago, we adapted our operations to face global needs. We realized that we needed to change as our world was in transition. The way we saw it, we had two choices: Be part of the solution or follow the status quo. We have dedicated our resources to developing innovative, Earth-Friendly solutions that will make a difference. We are committed to building a sustainable future while helping our customers improve their operations. We work directly with growers, helping them to get the maximum benefit from our products. www.rogitex.com
What We Do We are 100% committed to restoring Soil health. We pride ourselves on helping growers to improve their crops, reducing their dependency on synthetic inputs while optimizing their yields and bottom line. Our approach aims to highlight your Soil's nature and utilize the Soil-bound nutrients to your advantage by making them plant soluble. www.rogitex.com
Soil is Fundamental For Growing Crops A healthier, biologically active Soil means higher yields, better and more nutritious foods, promoting an increasingly chemical-free environment while increasing carbon sequestration. www.rogitex.com
Humic Land Our most recognizable product is Humic Land, an organic Soil amendment designed to improve your Soil. Humic Land brings many benefits to your crop and Soil, amongst which the most important are: Improvement in water retention and permeability Increased nutrient uptake Increased microbial activity All these improvements work toward greater yields. Unlike other humic acids available on the market that originate from Lignite or Leonardite, Humic Land comes from Black Peat. www.rogitex.com
What is Humic Acid Humic acids (HA) are high molecular weight, polydisperse, multifunctional natural organic compounds. They are formed from plant residues in different natural environments as a result of a long process of humification. Until recently, commercial Humic fertilizers were produced either as liquids or as powders, with varying degrees of humidity. www.rogitex.com
Liquid Humic Acid Liquid Humic Fertilizers are a concentrated solution of humates (potassium, sodium, less frequently ammonium salts of Humic acids), obtained by a prolonged alkaline extraction at heating for 2-24 hours from the raw material, which is typically Lignite. The resulting solutions have a highly alkaline reaction (pH ranging from 9 to 14). This method of production has been present for over 50 years, and today, it is the most popular. The main advantage of liquid Humic fertilizers is that HA content is at its most active and bio-available state. However, this could be misleading. www.rogitex.com
Powder Humic Acid Powder Humic Fertilizers are a finely ground mixture of alkali (KOH, NaOH) and coal (lignite) in the ratio range of 1/10 – 1/50. The introduction of salts during the preparation of the working solution allows for the cold extraction of HA and pro-huminous organic compounds to the final mixture. The main advantage of this type of production is its low cost of production and the possibility to prepare a highly concentrated mix in organic matter, not in HA (up to 120-130 g/l). www.rogitex.com
What is Humic Land A Soil amendment made from the sustainable extraction of peat, using cavitation and fine grinding without any chemicals used in the production process. The resulting product is a peat gel. Humic Land's dispersion medium is water, which permits a constant neutral pH ranging between 5 and 7. Humic Land offers a high concentration of HA and FA (Fulvic Acid); in the form of individual particles, (molecular associations), of 38% HA and 18% FA. www.rogitex.com
What is Humic Land Humic Land gel offers the Soil smaller levels of active dissolved HA substances. The active surfactants, HA and FA, reduce the surface tension of aqueous solutions, increasing the permeability of the cell membranes, optimizing nutrient uptake. This acceleration has a direct effect on the plant’s metabolism, the rate of photosynthesis over a more prolonged and continued period. www.rogitex.com
Humic Land Benefits Improves soil biodiversity, which is important for nutrient cycling. Improves nitrogen mineralization. Improves both phosphate and potassium solubilization. Increases root development. Improves stress tolerance. www.rogitex.com
Humic Land Benefits Our proven approach has given tangible results for many growers improving their yields up to 30% under different conditions, Soil types, and varied crops - peppers, cilantro, potatoes, tomatoes, avocados, lettuce, and the list goes on. Also, in hydroponic cultures, Humic Land has reduced the time to harvest by 15%. Due to its active biology and high humic acid content, Humic Land also helps regulate your water salinity. www.rogitex.com

Humic Land Reports
Humic Land Applications General Application: 1 gallon of Humic Land per 250 gallons of water per 9.5 acres 1 liter of Humic Land per 250 liters of water per 2.5 acres Humic Land can be used directly on the Soil. Humic Land benefits your Soil from conditioning to blooming. www.rogitex.com
Where is Humic Land Used Humic Land has an array of applications: Cereals, Vegetables, Berry bushes, Fruit trees, Legumes, Nurseries, as well as for Lawn grass/ Sod, Hydroponics, Horticulture, Decorative plants and Flowers application. Finally, Humic Land helps to rehabilitate contaminated and eroding Soils. www.rogitex.com
Soil Analysis to Promote Soil Health Rogitex offers a lab analysis program that highlights your Soil's nature while giving you valuable information on your Soil’s microbiology. The program offers: • Soil Total Digestion to highlight Soil-bound nutrients; • Soil "DNA" analysis to determine the bacterial and fungal species present in your Soil; • Soil biomass analysis to underline the microbial biomass and biodiversity present in the Soil. We handle the logistic of the samples from the farm to the lab. www.rogitex.com
