Salt Fighter is the first unique new method to manage soil salinity from ground water and irrigation water it also decreases chlorine buildup from potash.Soil salinity and chlorine treatment, are one of the most important issues for farmers to address for the health of their land and crops. Salt in the soil increases the osmotic pressure keeping water and nutrients from being absorbed by the plant roots. In addition, high levels of chlorine will affect the plant as the fruit grows and matures and as a result it will yield a low-quality fruit. Very high levels chlorine are so toxic that it may kill the plant.
We must take an active role in controlling salt and chlorine build up in the soil. Until now gypsum and water leaching where the only viable options but both are expensive.
Salt Fighter an affordable solution that works by dislodging sodium and chlorine ions from the soil and attaching to them in a way the that they can’t reattach to soil again. As a result the toxic ions are effectively leached from the soil washing the sodium and chlorine away. The effect on your plants is immediate and you will see the results of this within 72 hours in most instances.
ADVANTAGES:
– Hydroxyl and carboxyl groups act to bind and leach salt from the soil.
– Complex carbohydrates help keep the soil from erosion.
– Calcium is required for plant nutrition, dislodges Na+ ions and improves water penetration.
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
– 15 % Calcium
– 10 % Nitrogen
[PROPERTIES:
– Reduces sodium by exchange with calcium.
– Salt reduction in the soil improves the plant health and productivity.
– Replenishes calcium in soil.
– Salt reduction in the soil lowers the osmotic pressure allowing the plant to take up water and nutrients.
USAGE RATES:
– 5 liter / acre pivot sprinklers
– 1 liter / greenhouse 500 m²
– 1 liter / acre drip irrigation
SALINE SOIL EFFECT ON THE PLANT:
Soil salinity can affect plant growth both physically (osmotic effect) and chemically (nutrient and/or toxicity effect). As the salt content of the soil increases, it becomes more difficult for plants to take up water. Sensitive plants appear drought-stricken even at low levels of salt concentration. There is usually a progressive decline in growth and yield (production) as salinity levels increase.
