PROPERTIES
STOPSALT is the perfect conditioner for saline soils and waters. Salinity problems, called secondary salinization, occur when soluble salts are concentrated by irrigation in fertile soils. This phenomenon has been affecting humanity since the beginning of the agricultural age, and there are historical records of migrations resulting from salinization of arable land.
Salinity reduces the water potential of the soil solution, thus the availability of water reduces; affects growth and crop production by creating a nutrient imbalance due high concentrations of elements (Na+, Cl–) that can interfere with cell metabolism and mineral nutrition.
Benefits
It increases the cation exchange capacity (CEC) thanks to the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the organic matter it contains. CEC is the ability of a soil to retain ions, including nutrients. The higher the cation exchange capacity, the more calcium the soil supports and improves its structure. Thanks to its 100% complex calcium, it removes the Sodium (Na +) ions of the clay-humic complex. Sodium is an ion that damages both the soil structure and the plant. Calcium has the capacity to move it, so it can then be washed out through leaching. STOPSALT corrects the salinity of irrigation water in the same way as soil salinity. While we irrigate with water containing a high amount of calcium, the salts will be compensated we have added to the soil with water, the problems associated with the increase in salinity will be avoided.
