WE FIX SOIL
CaluSolv is a proprietary blend of materials designed to accelerate soil aggregation, foster soil microbial development and enhance plant photosynthesis.
When used in conjunction with recommended regenerative agricultural practices, healthy soils can be fixed in less time than by adopting the practices alone.
You have a choice… use a system that maximizes soil health.
FIX YOUR SOIL
HOW DOES CALUSOLV SPEED UP THE TRANSITION TO HEALTHY SOIL?
REVERSES SOIL COMPACTION
CaluSolv jumpstarts the process of forming stable soil aggregates. Aggregation is the first step in reversing soil compaction and restoring soil health.
Unlock Your Soil’s Current Value
Lab Analysis shows that the average soil already has over $4,000 worth of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium per acre.
INCREASES WATER INFILTRATION
CaluSolv has been proven to increase water infiltration and retention by more than 200% over three years.
INCREASE NATURAL RESISTANCE TO PESTS AND DISEASE
Using our system will reduce the use of rescue chemicals (herbicides and other pesticides).
feeding your soil, like good nutrition, does not cost. In the long run it pays.
GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR SOIL!
-
Significant reductions in the use of synthetic fertilizers and rescue chemicals such as herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and neonicotinoids
-
Increased microbial biomass and diversity to enhance and promote natural residue decomposition and nutrient cycling
-
Increased water infiltration and water retention rates
-
Increased soil organic matter levels
Calusolv Granules
WHAT IS A SOIL HEALTH EVALUATION?
- It is designed to show your soil’s current health and fertility levels.
- Three different soil tests (strong acid, mild acid, and water-soluble) tell us more about the real potential of your soil.
- Provides line item letter grades for yearly comparison and improvement
- Provides Calusolv’ recommendations that facilitate soil aggregation
- Provides recommendations for proper pH management
The measure of a soil’s fertility is the ability of soil microbes to access and release insoluble but available nutrients. Soil fertility does not rely on applying large amounts of synthetic fertilizers as is preached by conventional agriculture. True soil fertility is based on the diversity and activity of soil microbes.
THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF A BIOLOGICAL FARMING OPERATION BEGINS WITH FIXING SOIL COMPACTION.
IF YOU DON’T ADDRESS THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM YOU WILL BE FOREVER REACTING TO ITS SYMPTOMS.
Where Do You Start?
INCREASE SOIL OXYGEN LEVELS
Create stable soil aggregate structure.
The vast majority of agricultural soils have a compaction layer and in agriculture when the soil does not get enough oxygen, you are in trouble.
Lack of oxygen stunts root growth and inhibits beneficial soil biology
CaluSolv’s water-soluble calcium and humates accelerate soil aggregation.
MANAGE WATER
Increase water infiltration and water retention rates
Water infiltration and retention rates increase as the soil aggregate structure increases.
Increase infiltration rates will reduce flooding/ponding of fields. Increased retention rates will increase resistance to drought.
Soil aggregation promoted by CaluSolv allows for increased water infiltration.
Increased water availability to plant will enhance plant photosynthesis and growth.
MANAGE THE MICROBES
Increase soil microbial biomass and diversity
Conventional farming methods destroy soil microbial populations.
A diverse and active microbial population are key to plant residue decay, release insoluble but available nutrients and provide biologically fixed, organic forms of nitrogen to plants.
Key ingredients in the CaluSolv formula feed soil microbe populations.
WITH STEPS 1 – 3 YOU HAVE STARTED REBUILDING YOUR SOIL HEALTH..
Now you can build your soil fertility
and not buy it.
MANAGE NUTRIENT APPLICATIONS LAST
Regenerative farming practitioners understand that addressing soil compaction and increasing soil biology will lower the need for synthetic fertilizers and rescue chemicals. When it is necessary to apply a fertilizer always consider the amount of what is being applied to other nutrients in the soil. Excesses of one nutrient can inhibit the uptake of other nutrients needed by the plant. Having the correct ratio of nutrients will accelerate healthy plant growth.
THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF A BIOLOGICAL FARMING OPERATION BEGINS WITH FIXING SOIL COMPACTION BY APPLYNG CALUSOLV AND ADOPTING RECOMMENDED REGENERATIVE FARMING PRACTICES.
BEST PRACTICES TO FIXING YOUR SOIL
CaluSolv’s system addresses the following Soil Health Factors, which are the primary indicators of healthy soil:
REDUCE/ELIMINATE TILLAGE
UTILIZE COVER CROPS
MANAGE pH LEVELS
RREDUCE NUTRIENT APPLICATIONS
