|
CALCIOKAL® is a direct source of calcium, derived from micronized calcium carbonate, in a granular form (spherical prills). It is characterized for its high chemical purity in calcium carbonate, CaCO3 > 98,5%, which offers a high soil nutrallizing performance and allows immediate pH soil adjustment. The granular form of CALCIOKAL®, high chemical purity, total pellet solubility and direct soil absorption, constitutes a low cost solution in contrast to the traditional methods -use of lime- for neutralizing soils, calcium enrichment and soil pH adjustment to desired levels. |
Prills of CALCIOKAL® have a size range from 2 mm to 5 mm, are spherical and without dust, allowing thus its easy application, either on its own or with additional fertilizers and seeds, simply with standard fertilizer spreaders. This means less machine cost, zero material lost to dusting and money saving!

Packaging
CALCIOKAL® is available in plastic bags of 25 kg, Big Bags 1,0-1,5 tons and bulk.
Recommended Dosage and Application
Ideal soil pH is considered to be the value of 6,5, where plants absorb from the soil to the maximum level 100% the nutrient elements in Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K). Recommended quantities (in kgr/acre) of CALCIOKAL® for the soil pH increase to 6,5, are refered to the table aside, always according to the soil texture and the initial pH value. CALCIOKAL® should be evenly spreaded on all soil surface with a light integration.
