HUMKO has announced new mycorrhiza fertilizer tablets that pair hydrogel technology with mycorrhizal fungi, targeting drought resistance and nutrient uptake challenges faced by professional growers.
-- HUMKO has introduced mycorrhiza fertilizer tablets that combine two biological mechanisms in a single product: a hydrogel core capable of absorbing up to 100 times its weight in water, and mycorrhizal fungi that extend root system reach by up to 700%. The company says the design is intended to improve both drought resistance and nutrient uptake for professional growers and landscapers working in water-stressed or nutrient-limited conditions.

As HUMKO explains, professional growers and landscapers increasingly contend with water-stressed environments and nutrient-limited soils that compromise plant health and yield. Research published in agricultural science literature indicates that mycorrhizal fungi can improve water uptake by 40 to 60 percent in drought-prone soils, extending hyphae beyond the root zone to access moisture in micro-pores that roots cannot reach. Hydrogels have also been shown to improve water use efficiency in sandy soils and reduce irrigation frequency by up to 50 percent, according to agricultural technology research.
The new tablet design initiates what HUMKO describes as a "biological handshake" between plants and mycorrhizal fungi, establishing a symbiotic exchange where plants trade carbon-based sugars for nutrients and water. This self-regulating micro-ecosystem is built from a hydrogel core that functions as an ionic pump for moisture retention, mycorrhizal granules that extend root surface area, bentonite clay, magnesium sulfate for plant immunity support, bacterial concentrate, and rich compost.
HUMKO's mycorrhiza tablets comply with EU Regulation 2018/848, which governs organic production standards across the European Union, and are approved for use in organic production. According to HUMKO, the certification ensures that the tablets meet strict environmental and quality benchmarks, including restrictions on genetically modified organisms and artificial fertilizers. The company says this compliance is particularly relevant for professional growers operating in regulated markets or working with organic-certified clients.
HUMKO has operated since 1984 and has developed more than 29 custom formulations tailored to specific soil compositions and plant requirements. The company offers soil enrichment solutions for professional growing operations and also serves municipal parks and landscape designers across Europe with bulk solutions and custom consultations.
