Healthier soils for productive crops and sustainable forests
Maintaining balanced soil conditions is essential for crop performance and forest growth. Lhoist calcium and magnesium solutions help you improve soil structure, correct acidity and enhance nutrient availability - including NPK - supporting productive and sustainable soil management.
Why soil pH and calcium and magnesium levels matter
Soil productivity depends on balanced physical, chemical and biological conditions. Acidic soils reduce nutrient uptake, limit fertilizer efficiency and increase aluminium phytotoxicity. By supplying calcium and magnesium, based products Lhoist solutions help you:
- Correct soil acidity
- Improve soil structure, aeration and water retention
- Enhance nutrient availability for crops
- Increase fertilizer efficiency and reduce nutrient losses
- Support root development and promote faster crop establishment

- Reduced environmental impact
Plant protection solutions
Calcium hydroxide, approved as a basic substance approved for organic farming in Europe, is widely used in orchards, vineyards and forestry as a natural, mineral-based plant protection solution. It helps control specific fungal diseases by protecting pruning wounds and limiting pathogen development.
