Production capacity

The research and production company "Agrofarmika" has a fully automated production facility with a capacity of up to 350 tons of products per month.

Own technological standard

The pore size in the cell walls of plant roots and leaves varies between 3.5 and 5.2 nm. With molecular lengths of 5.3–6.4 nm for fulvic acids and 9.4–10.7 nm for humic acids, the transport of these compounds within cell walls is greatly impeded. Only a small fraction of the humic substance molecules—a spontaneous amount of low-molecular fragments—enter the cell. This results in unstable properties of fertilizers containing humic substances. To address this issue and ensure the passage of most humic substances through the cell membrane into the plant cell, we have developed a method for breaking long humic chains into shorter ones.

Why do humic molecules need to be crushed?

Diffusion of macromolecules with mass significantly exceeding 15–20 kD into plant cells is greatly hampered. Moreover, passive transport through pores in the cell membrane is difficult even for hydrated K+ ions with a diameter of 0.34 nm, while facilitated diffusion and active transport are substrate-specific processes. Transfer of long humic chains (macromolecules) in plant cell walls is always hampered by:
• fixation of large humic substance molecules on the surfaces of cell wall channels, which reduces the effective pore diameter;
• negative charge existing in the cell wall and causing ionic exclusion of negatively charged humic substance molecules;
• effective binding to cell wall components due to numerous hydrogen and hydrophobic interactions.

Why a chelator?

The molecular structure, synthesized in a readily available form for plants, facilitates, accelerates, and enhances nutrient absorption through its chelating action. This optimizes nutrition and other supplements, reducing the consumption of mineral fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. The product effectively activates plant growth and development at all phenophases and provides a broad anti-stress effect. Rapid strengthening and growth of the root system occurs, and root rot is suppressed.

Cytohumate® Professional converts nutrients into forms easily absorbed by plants, maximizing the plant's full potential. It facilitates nutrient transport at the cellular level, thereby stimulating growth and maturation. The product contains a large number of stimulating and anti-stress natural components, which reliably increases plant resilience in extreme conditions, allowing them to better withstand drought, frost, and disease.
The pronounced chelating effect is achieved through the implementation of a chemical mechanism for transporting chelated mineral compounds within plant cells treated with the product, ensuring the complete absorption of applied nutrients.

Chelates, or chelating compounds (from the Latin chelate – claw), are intra-complex, claw-shaped compounds. Cytohumate® Professional initiates the chelation process, through which minerals are bound, clamped like claws by amino acids, and converted into an easily digestible form. Complexes of organic substances with mineral nutrients (organomineral complexes – chelates) are formed, facilitating the absorption of the latter by plants. The combination of minerals with amino acids occurs, which is vital for their absorption and use by the plant. Minerals are thus much more easily absorbed and utilized by the plant. Chemically, chelation is the capture of a metal ion and its conversion into a chelate complex. Minerals in their unchelated form are poorly absorbed and must first undergo certain biochemical transformations to form chelates before they can provide plant benefits. Chelated minerals are 5-10 times more readily absorbed than unchelated minerals. In addition to the general chelating action of Cytohumate® Professional, the manufacturer's technology allows for the pre-chelated minerals to be incorporated into the product, ensuring proper absorption, safe use, and reducing the risk of overdose. Elements such as iron, calcium, chromium, and zinc are better absorbed in chelated form.
