Features & Benefits
Features
- Improves physical soil properties: soil structure, water management, infiltration and accumulation in the soil, increased air content (porosity), better soil fractions, no surface crusts and many other.
- Improves chemical soil properties: brings the soil pH to the ideal range, releases the blocked nutrients, prevents the absorption of aluminium and heavy metals in plants.
- Improves biological soil properties: increases the biological life in the soil by creating the optimal conditions for microflora, microfauna and small beneficial animals, increases the amount of organic matter and its transformation into nutrients.
- Increases crop yields and quality and reduces fertilizer use.
Benefits
- Balances soil acidity.
- Protects plants and limits their ability to absorb toxic elements.
- Optimizing fertilizing elements.
- Enhances the organic matter in soil.
- Promotes biological activity.
- Improves soil structure.
- Encourages better root development.
Dedicated solutions for your specific needs
In order to benefit from all the positive parts of healthy soil (i.e., optimal for the crop plants and the living organisms in it) and in order that the soil will work for us in achieving the supreme target (maximum yields in terms of quantity and quality, with low expenses), our soil must have a constant, neutral pH.
Farmers struggle to achieve their crop-growing targets, due to the natural and artificial acidity of the soil, alkalinity, lack of Calcium, and compacted, unaerated, and low water capacity soils, found in most regions. To meet this challenge and achieve acceptable yields, farmers may sometimes use excessive quantities of NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) fertilizers. This gradually leads to increasing soil acidification, with a negative impact on agricultural performance. To tackle all these challenges, we have developed TerraCalco®.
