With real world results that no other Humic products can achieve, Hydro Bio is changing food security in drastic ways around the world.
Our trials have produced some phenomenal and repeatable results that have solid validation.
Check out this summary of crop trials using Hydro Bio vs controls to see how drastic of a change it can make, especially in lower quality soils.
Ivory Coast National Research Study (2020)
Soils: Acidic ferralsols (pH 4.5–6.5), low to medium fertility
🌱 Study Overview
• Goal: Evaluate the agromorphological and yield impact of Vital Humic™ Hydro Bio (VHHB) on common West African crops.Hydr
• Crops Studied: Corn, Rice, Okra, Cassava (Yuca), Cocoa.
• Treatment Method: VHHB applied 48–72 hours before or after planting (depending on crop).
• Control Plots: Received no Hydro Bio.
📊 Key Results
🌾 Corn & Rice
• Corn yield increased from 6.1 to 7.5 T/ha (+23%)
• Stem length improved from 51.2 cm to 60 cm
• Rice yield increased from 6 to 11.4 T/ha (+90%)
• Improved leaf color from light/yellow green to vibrant green
🥒 Okra
• Yield increased from 7 to 11 T/ha (+57%)
• Fruit weight increased from 0.35g to 0.55g
• Stem circumference grew from 4.8 cm to 6 cm
🌱 Cassava (Yuca)
• Yield increased from 29 to 37 T/ha (+28%)
• Healthier roots with greater mass and diameter
🌳 Cocoa
• In nurseries: Stronger seedling growth and vigor
• In fields: Greener leaves, healthier plants with visible contrast to untreated plots
🧪 Scientific Findings
• Improved nutrient availability: better nitrogen fixation and phosphorus mobilization
• Balanced soil pH and boosted organic nutrient recycling
• Improved stress resistance and overall plant vigor
• Performed well in acidic, phosphorus-deficient soils
✅ Farmer Benefits
• Consistent yield gains across all crops tested
• Improved plant health: greener leaves, stronger stems, better root systems
• Works in low-input rural settings where fertilizer access is limited
• One product replaces several: humic acid, microbial inoculants, molasses
