With lime fertilizers the grower is able to control the soil pH, Gypsum in turn has a positive influence on the soil structure. Lime fertilizers for a good soil pH Due to ever lower usage standards within the current fertilizer policy, less nitrogen and phosphate is fertilized. However, the needs of crops have not changed. This requires good soil condition of the valuable arable land that is able to make optimum use of nitrogen and phosphate. Naturally, there are many soil types in the Netherlands that have a pH that is too low and therefore have a negative effect on nitrogen and phosphate utilisation. As a result, the soil cannot deliver optimal yields. For example, if the pH is only 4.0 instead of a target value of 5.4, the maize yield can easily drop by 10% to 20%, for example. We can prevent this by liming! Triferto offers high-quality lime fertilizers for this that allow you to easily optimize the soil condition. Gypsum fertilizers for a good soil structure Ferto-Gips is a moist product and contains calcium in sulphate form (CaSO4). Gypsum, or calcium sulphate, has a positive effect on the soil structure, especially on clay soils with a high pH. A good soil structure is important for a grower. Water regulation, rooting, disease prevention and trafficability of the land are essential for a strong and healthy crop, and no restrictions on tillage and harvest. For a good soil structure it is important that sufficient calcium is present. Calcium keeps the clay plates at a nice distance from each other, for an airy, free-flowing structure. In addition, calcium ensures excellent bonding between the clay plates. Calcium is also important on sandy soil, it ensures binding of the organic matter.
