ECOSALT® is a soil conditioner formulated specifically to reduce soil salinity and improve flocculation for a better porosity and penetration of water. In addition, ECOSALT® stabilizes soil pH and reduces sodium content improving crop growth and avoiding saline stress. ECOSALT® enhances root growth and development thanks to the increment of soil porosity and nutrient and water uptake.

Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

Carboxylic (-COOH) and hydroxylic (-OH) groups present in ECOSALT® play an important role in calcium transfer to colloidal soil particles, preventing and correcting salinisation and solidification effects.

Main effects:

  • Physical effects: Flocculation. Increases porosity and water penetration.
  • Chemical effects: Decreases sodium from colloidal fraction. Increases exchangeable fraction of calcium. Stabilizes soil pH.
  • Biological effects: Improves germinations. Promotes root growth and development. Increases calcium availability and block toxic ions.
Plant Growth Inhibition

Saline Soil

  • Conductivity > 4 mmhos/cm.
  • % Exchangeable sodium < 15 Toxicity caused by disolved ions.

Sodium Soil

  • Conductivity < 4 mmhos/cm.
  • % Exchangeable sodium > 15 Colloids formation (compaction) Alkalinity increment.
  • Low permeability and poor aeration.
  • Germination reduction/root development. Traze elements become insoluble.

Applications & Uses

System and Time of Application

It is recommended to apply ECOSALT® before seeding and after transplant. In fruit trees, it is recommended to apply at pre-flowering, flowering, fruit set and ripening. The application can be done via irrigation or directly to soil.
