Dolomite Powder

Agricultural grade Dolomite powder used primarily to control acidity(pH) in soils by making them more basic (alkaline). Fertilizers and herbicides can then work efficiently, and plants can more readily absorb the nutrients that help them grow. CaCO3 reacts strongly to acid in the soils, such as sulfuric acid. In agriculture applications, Dolomite is commonly used as soil fertilizer in a range of soils. The application of calcium in the form of dolomite, which is a calcium-releasing compound, could be used to increase calcium in the potting mix. Agriculture grade dolomite used for soil neutralization/conditioner to correct acidity. It also finds use as filler in fertilizers. The main ingredient is calcium carbonate, it helps to increase the pH of acidic soils and it provides a good source of calcium for plant. It improves the water penetration for acidic soil. It also contains MgCO3 for triggering fast growth of plants. Dolomite (Calcium Magnesium carbonate): Similar to garden lime but slower acting. Also contains magnesium carbonate so good for trees like apples and pears as it adds calcium to ground without altering soil pH Dolomite fertilizer balances soil pH while adding much needed magnesium nutrients USES : Agricultural grade Dolomite powder used primarily to control acidity(pH) in soils by making them more basic (alkaline). Agricultural grade dolomite also neutralizes soil pH and cuts fertilize costs by making fertilizer more available to plant roots, so less fertilizer is needed. Fertilizers that contain nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and other essential nutrients are more effective in slightly acidic to neutral soils. Agricultural grade dolomite boots the performance of certain herbicides. As with fertilizer, modern herbicides are most effective when soil pH is slightly acidic (pH of 6.5) to neutral (pH of 7.0). When soils are more acidic, herbicides attach to soil particles, reducing their ability to control weed growth. Agricultural grade dolomite improves the chemical, biological, and physical conditions of the soil. Water infiltration, drainage, and the healthy growth of beneficial microorganisms are improved by the proper application of dolomite powder, which is a cut down on the amount of fertilizer and herbicides needed and the amount of agricultural runoff produced from them. Dolomite powder can also correct toxic levels of aluminum and manganese that are sometimes found in acidic soils.
