Calcium and organic matter desalinising agent

Fertea Salifix Ca

Fertea Salifix Ca supplies calcium and organic matter that dissolve carbonates and release additional calcium and magnesium. These cations exchange with sodium, which passes into the soil solution and is leached away from the roots by irrigation and rain.

  • Exchangeable sodium reduced in the soil
  • Improved soil structure and better water penetration
  • Crops possible on sodium-rich soils and waters
  • Increased soil retention capacity
  • Saline phytotoxicity limited: damage to leaf blades and root tips, slowed growth, reduced flowering
  • 31.2% complexed calcium, with 21.5% total organic matter and zinc
