While winter rainfall levels have been adequate, the summer 2026 outlook from the European Commission projects that drought is likely to affect central and eastern Europe. Slovenia has suffered multiple dry summers over the past decade, with severity warranting national disaster declarations in 2017 and 2022. Last summer, home gardens suffered, and even larger operations, including vegetables and grasslands, experienced leaf scorch nationwide.
As climate change progresses, experts project late frosts encroaching further into spring and summer, which will be warmer, drier, and include more frequent waves of extreme heat. Agricultural products from HUMKO can help combat these challenges by bioengineering the soil in which the plants grow.
HUMKO's root booster product combines mycorrhizal fungi and hydrogel technologies to create a practical alternative to infrastructure-dependent irrigation systems. Mycorrhizal fungi extend plant root systems significantly, allowing roots to access soil pores that would otherwise remain unreachable. According to scientific studies, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi can increase water absorption rates by up to 7 times, significantly enhancing drought resilience.
Created for use with vegetables, herbs, flowers, shrubs, and trees, the Mycorrhiza root booster can be blended with soil during planting or dusted directly onto plant roots while transplanting. By extending the plant's root system, it establishes a biological shield against root pathogens and reduces the need for fertilization while supporting quick establishment and robust growth. It improves nutrient efficiency and contributes to overall plant resilience.
HUMKO offers a range of specialized formulations, including products that combine hydrogel water retention with slow-release organic fertilizers, providing continuous feeding for three to 14 months. The company provides formulations for long-term nutrient release, fast-acting organic nitrogen boost, mycorrhiza fungal inoculant, and hydrogel for water retention. Custom formulations target specific soil compositions, incorporating ingredients such as collagen, horn shavings, bat guano, and vermicompost enriched with worm casting enzymes. Its products are 100% organic and certified for EU organic farming standards.
With more than four decades of work in the Slovenian bio-innovation industry, HUMKO is dedicated to creating advanced horticultural materials, technologies, and equipment. The family-owned company has developed more than 80 products designed to optimize plant growth and has helped to install more than 1,000 projects across Europe, from sustainable green roofs to artistic gardens and commercial greenhouse facilities. The company supplies professional growers, municipal parks, and landscape designers across Europe, and also provides B2B consulting services and bulk nutrient solutions for commercial operations.
