Features
  • Physical state: homogeneous cylinder-shaped pellet with a medium diameter of 3 - 4 mm and a medium lenght of 5 - 7 mm.
  • The organic composition is made of Humus, which is directly active in the soil and derives exclusively from the mixture and humification of selected manure (cattle and avicultural manure) that underwent a process of Fermentation-Humification for nine months.
  • The product does not undergo processes of artificial essication (through ovens or hot air).
  • The mineral calcareous component added results finely grinded and has a “rapid effect” if mixed with the soil; it is finalized to the balance and aims to the neutrality of acid conditions of pH.

Applications & Uses

CALCIORGANICO® / As a Correction

Usage as a correction in acid soil:

  • As known, a soil with an acid pH represents an agronomical issue for the following reasons:
  • Low or absent microorganism activity in biological processes of the soil and of the crop (for example radical growth) 
  • It determines a poor decomposition of the organic substance if crop residuals are buried
  • Strong Phosphorus insolubility with inability of absorption performed by the roots
  • The H+ ion replaces the K+ ion in the colloids, determining a leaching of Potassium
  • General condition of difficulty for the maintenance of a good structure in the soil, when the environment is not suitable for a good rooting in the plants.

Usage on Sodium-rich saline soils: 

CALCIORGANICO® can also be used for soils that have an elevated rate of salinity, in particular the ones rich in Sodium. As it is known, Calcium given to the ground acts as an “exchange” effect, replacing and freeing colloids from the Sodium ion, that is in this way pushed away. The action of improvement on soil fertility and on its structure is completed with the organic substance that comes from humified manure.

Period of Application
  • Distribute in open field and bury during during ground preparation;
  • For horticultural and estensive crops, distribute before seeding or transplant.
  • Optimal for estensive crops on seeding, the distribution of the product before burying vegetal residuall. 
  • Optimal as a sanitizing effect after sewage distribution.
  • Bury in open field or on the line for new arboreal implants.
  • If these are in production and grassed, apply another mulching in order to facilitate the product dissolution.
  • Thanks to its organic component, the product does not undergo leaching. Quantities that need to be used can vary in relation to fertility and climatic parameters, typical of the area where the product is going.
