Agriculture and foresty
Agriculture & forestry applications
In agriculture and forestry, maintaining the right soil conditions is crucial for supporting plant growth, biodiversity, and more sustainable land management. Our mineral solutions, such as burnt lime, limestone, dolomite, and proprietary blends, help optimize soil acidity and improve nutrient availability like calcium and magnesium, creating a more stable foundation for forest regeneration and productivity.
By improving soil structure and pH balance, these products also boost the effectiveness of fertilizers. This helps reducing the environmental impact of fertilizers, for example on groundwater.
Soil conditioning and nutrition
Soil fertility is primarily related to the combination of minerals with the organic and the inorganic fractions, which, if well balanced, provide optimum air and water exchange. Rational soil amendment can be achieved by using calcium to improve the soil's physical structure, resulting in a better chemical balance and boosting the soil's biology. By controlling topsoil acidity with the strong base that our products contain, you can also facilitate better plant uptake of expensive fertilizers.
Plant protection
Calcium hydroxide is a basic substance listed in the European Pesticides Database. Calcium hydroxide is indeed approved for organic farming use in Europe to manage Neonectria galligena on pome fruits. It is applied at end of leaf drop or directly to pruning wounds and old cancers on stems from winter to March.
