TerraCalco®

• Improves soil structure rapidly.
• Improves water management through better capillarity, drainage and water retention in the soil, making the soil more resistant to bad weather conditions such as drought or heavy rain.
• Optimizes soil potential (by releasing the mineral elements that all soils contain).
• Boosts the effect of fertilizers (and buffers their negative effect in the soil).
• Decreases the sensitivity of soil to bad weather conditions such as drought or heavy rain.
• TerraCalco® prevents the uptake of toxic elements from the soil (Al, Fe, Mn) and the assimilation of heavy metals by plants (Cd, Pb).
• Promotes and increases biological activity.
• Increases the organic matter in the soil.
• TerraCalco® reduces N2O emissions in the soil.
• Protects and feeds plants due to the high Ca content available in a product.

TerraCalco® products improve soil performance and adjust soil pH to the optimum value. This improves cation exchange capacity and soil structure.

TerraCalco® increases the soil pH to neutral. This optimal pH helps to:

• Increase the amount of organic and natural fertilizers (the nutrition elements) available in the soil for all the plants, cereals, oil crops, vegetables, orchards, vineyards, etc., resulting in a better crop yield.
• Improve soil structure, water and air (porosity), water availability and management.
• Avoid toxic alumina and then participate in better crop development.
• Avoid the intake of heavy metals into plants.
• Carmeuse offers the TerraCalco® range of products for enhancing and maintaining the good condition of the soil.
• Having the perfect soil pH for crops - between 6.8 and 7.2. 
• Regular use of TerraCalco® allows to increase and maintain good field performance.
• Granular and optimal soil structure (with effects on water management, fuel reduction and preparation for non-invasive soil work systems).
• Maximum usage of soil nutrition minerals, but also of applied fertilizers.
• Optimal microflora, microfauna, and small soil animal population.
