Frequently Asked Questions

What is Husky made of and how does it benefit crop yields?

Husky's biofertilizers are derived from coffee byproducts, and they enhance crop yields by providing natural nutrients to plants, augmenting more efficient use of traditional fertilizers and promoting sustainable agriculture practices.

What crops has Husky been tested on besides tomatoes?

Husky's biofertilizer has demonstrated its effectiveness in trials on various crops, including corn, with different application methods (seed, soil, foliar) and rates, showcasing its adaptability and potential for broader agricultural applications.

How does Husky align its practices with the 4Rs of nutrient management?

Husky adheres to the 4Rs of nutrient management by ensuring the right nutrient source, rate, timing, and placement, which are crucial principles in sustainable agriculture and contribute to improved environmental and economic outcomes.

What is a biostimulant?

A biostimulant is a substance or microorganism applied to plants or soil to enhance plant growth, crop quality, and stress tolerance. Biostimulants do not provide nutrients directly but stimulate physiological processes in plants, improving their overall performance. Husky utilizes the a biostimulant derived from the coffee fruit as a core ingredient in the platform of plant nutrition products.

How is coffee produced, and where do the pulp and mucilage appear in the process?

Coffee is produced from the beans of the coffee cherry that grow on trees in regions near the equator. During coffee processing, the pulp and mucilage appear as layers surrounding the coffee beans. After harvesting, the coffee cherries are pulped to remove the outer skin (pulp), revealing the mucilage layer, which is a sticky substance that surrounds the coffee beans. The beans are then further processed to remove the mucilage before roasting.

What is Chlorella vulgaris?

Chlorella vulgaris is a species of green algae that is commonly used as a dietary supplement and in various industrial applications. It is known for its high nutritional value, containing proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. Chlorella vulgaris is also used in biotechnology and research for its potential in biofuel production and environmental applications. Chlorella vulgaris, a species of green algae, can have beneficial effects on plant growth and nutrition when used as a fertilizer or soil amendment.

How did Husky perform in validation trials on tomato crops in Northern California?

In recent tomato validation trials, Husky-treated plants showed a remarkable 38.5% increase in yield over the control group, along with a significant 14.4% rise in Brix, indicating improved tomato quality compared to the control group.  

What specific aspects of nutrient management does Husky target?

Husky is primarily concentrating on nutrient uptake and fertilizer use efficiency (NUE) to optimize its biofertilizer formulations, aiming to enhance nutrient utilization, crop performance, yield, quality, profitability, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions tied to fertilization.

What potential environmental benefits can be expected from Husky's approach to nutrient management?

By promoting balanced fertilization and biofertilizer usage, Husky anticipates reduced greenhouse gas emissions associated with fertilization, higher carbon capture potential, and a positive impact on the environment.  

What is a biofertilizer?

A biofertilizer is a natural or microbial product that contains beneficial microorganisms or substances derived from living organisms. Biofertilizers improve soil fertility, enhance nutrient uptake by plants, and promote sustainable agriculture by reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.

What is a microbe?

A microbe, short for microorganism, is a tiny living organism that is too small to be seen with the naked eye. Microbes include bacteria, fungi, viruses, and protozoa. They play essential roles in various biological processes, such as decomposition, nutrient cycling, and fermentation, and can be beneficial or harmful to plants, animals, and humans.
