TURPS knowledge base
Welcome to the TURPS Knowledge Base—your go-to resource for everything you need to know about humic soil improvers and sustainable farming with TURPS.
Whether you’re a seasoned farmer, a home gardener, or someone passionate about eco-friendly agriculture, this guide covers it all.
Understanding TURPS and Humic Soil Improvers
What is TURPS?
TURPS is an innovative organic humate fertilizer and soil improver made in Estonia. It’s designed to restore soil fertility, enhance plant growth, and promote sustainable farming. Using a patented, waste-free process, TURPS combines decomposed peat, chicken manure, and wood ash to breathe life back into tired soils.
What are humic soil improvers?
Humic soil improvers are organic compounds derived from natural sources like peat, that enhance soil structure, nutrient retention, and water absorption. They help improve soil fertility and plant health while reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers.
Why choose humate-based soil improvers like TURPS?
Humate-based soil improvers enrich the soil with long-lasting organic substances that support nutrient cycling, boost microbial activity, and promote sustainable farming practices. TURPS stands out due to its eco-friendly, zero-waste production process and proven effectiveness in increasing crop yields.
Benefits of Using TURPS
How does TURPS boost crop yields?
TURPS enhances nutrient availability and stimulates robust root development, leading to 20-40% higher crop yields and earlier harvests. This means more crops, faster, with healthier plants.
What impact does TURPS have on soil health?
TURPS transforms soil structure, promoting aeration, water retention, and nutrient distribution. This results in healthier, more resilient soil that supports long-term fertility and plant growth.
Does TURPS help reduce water usage?
Yes! TURPS improves soil’s water-holding capacity by creating a protective film around soil particles. This keeps plants hydrated longer, reducing the need for frequent watering—perfect for drought-prone areas.
Can TURPS reduce my need for synthetic fertilizers?
Absolutely. TURPS helps soil retain nutrients, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers by up to 50%. This not only cuts costs but also supports eco-friendly farming practices.
How to Use TURPS
How do I apply TURPS to fruit trees and shrubs?
Mix 1-3 liters of TURPS into the soil around each tree or shrub before planting. For established plants, apply TURPS around the base and lightly work it into the soil.
What’s the best way to use TURPS for crops?
For crops like tomatoes and strawberries, mix 200 ml of TURPS into each planting hole before sowing. For larger fields, evenly distribute and till TURPS into the soil.
Can I use TURPS in urban gardening?
Definitely! Add 100-200 ml of TURPS per plant in pots, raised beds, or small garden plots. It helps improve soil quality and supports healthy plant growth in limited spaces.
How does TURPS work for lawns and landscaping?
Spread TURPS evenly over the area before laying sod or seeding. For established lawns, apply TURPS and water thoroughly. It promotes deep root growth, resulting in lush, green grass with improved drought resistance.
Scientific Benefits of TURPS
What scientific research supports TURPS’s effectiveness?
TURPS is backed by research from the University of Tartu and the Estonian University of Life Sciences. Ongoing experiments in Portugal, Spain, and Estonia consistently show improvements in soil health and crop productivity.
How does TURPS improve soil structure?
The humates in TURPS promote soil particle aggregation, creating a crumb-like texture that improves aeration, water retention, and nutrient distribution. This makes the soil more resilient to erosion and compaction.
How does TURPS support root development?
TURPS stimulates rapid root growth, increasing root length and branching. This allows plants to absorb more nutrients and water, leading to stronger, more resilient plants.
Does TURPS improve plant resistance to environmental stress?
Yes! Plants treated with TURPS develop greater resilience against drought, frost, and pest attacks. The humates enhance the synthesis of chlorophyll, sugars, and amino acids, contributing to overall plant health.
Real Results from TURPS Users
What results can I expect with TURPS?
Growers using TURPS have reported:
-
20-30% more crops
-
Fruits ripening 1-3 weeks earlier
-
Stronger roots and healthier plants
-
30-50% less fertilizer and water needed
Where is TURPS being tested?
TURPS is being tested and validated in Portugal, Spain, and Estonia, with support from leading agricultural research institutions. The results continue to highlight TURPS’s effectiveness in improving soil health and boosting crop productivity.
Why should I choose TURPS over traditional fertilizers?
Unlike conventional fertilizers, TURPS offers a natural, sustainable approach to soil health. It improves crop yields, reduces environmental impact, and supports the long-term fertility of your soil. With TURPS, you’re not just growing plants—you’re nurturing a healthier planet.
Sustainability and Certification
Is TURPS environmentally friendly?
TURPS is produced using a zero-waste, water-free process that aligns with EU sustainability standards. It’s crafted from natural, renewable materials and contributes to sustainable farming practices.
Is TURPS certified for organic farming?
Yes! TURPS is proudly certified by the Ministry of Rural Affairs for organic farming and complies with EU Commission Regulations (EC) No 834/2007 and 889/2008.
How does TURPS support sustainable farming?
By enriching soil with long-lasting humic substances, TURPS promotes nutrient cycling and microbial activity while reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. This supports circular economy principles and helps build a healthier, more sustainable farming system.
Advanced Applications and Insights
Can TURPS be used in hydroponic systems?
While TURPS is primarily designed for soil applications, its humic properties may benefit certain hydroponic setups by improving nutrient uptake. However, it’s best to consult with hydroponic specialists for tailored applications.
Is TURPS suitable for large-scale commercial farming?
Yes! TURPS is effective for both small-scale gardens and large agricultural operations. Its ability to reduce fertilizer usage and improve soil health makes it a cost-effective solution for commercial farmers.
How does TURPS compare to liquid humic fertilizers?
TURPS provides a long-lasting, slow-release source of humic substances, whereas liquid fertilizers offer quick but short-lived benefits. TURPS’s humates remain active in the soil for extended periods, continuously improving soil health.
Can TURPS help rehabilitate degraded or polluted soils?
Absolutely. TURPS binds heavy metals and detoxifies the soil, making it an excellent choice for rehabilitating polluted or degraded land. Its humates improve soil structure and support the recovery of healthy microbial activity.

What are soil improvers and how do they work?
Soil improvers, also known as soil amendments, are materials added to soil to enhance its physical properties, fertility, and overall health.

How do humic substances work?
Humic substances, including humic acids and fulvic acids, are the result of the natural decomposition of organic matter over time.

Concentration of Humates in TURPS
Intensive farming practices and the overuse of mineral fertilizers have led to nutrient leaching, soil degradation, and water pollution.




TURPS is a versatile organic soil enhancer that significantly improves soil structure, fertility, and water retention. It is especially beneficial for various agricultural and horticultural applications.
