SoilCal
Soil Cal is a high-purity agricultural lime engineered to deliver an optimal balance of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and magnesium carbonate (MgCO₃). This combination makes it an ideal amendment for improving soil health, fertility and pH balance. It neutralizes acidity, enhances nutrient availability and supplies essential calcium and magnesium to support strong root development and balanced crop nutrition. Suitable for cropland, forestry and horticultural applications, Soil Cal helps drive healthier growth and higher yields.
Benefits
Soil Cal delivers multiple advantages for soil management and crop production. Its high calcium carbonate content neutralises acidity, creating a more favourable environment for nutrient uptake. The calcium oxide equivalent supports soil conditioning while magnesium carbonate improves nutrient absorption and root development.
- High CaCO₃ neutralises soil acidity
- High CaCO₃ neutralises soil acidity
- Magnesium improves nutrient absorption
- Enhances root growth strength
- Improves soil structure stability
- Versatile sizing for all uses
These benefits make Soil Cal an essential tool for improving soil health, crop growth and overall agricultural productivity.
Uses
Soil Cal is suitable for a wide range of agricultural and horticultural applications where soil conditioning and nutrient supplementation are required. In horticulture, it supports healthy plant development and consistent crop yields.
- Cropland soil treatment for acidity neutralisation
- Forestry soil conditioning and fertility improvement
- Horticultural applications for balanced nutrition
- Enhancement of root growth and plant development
- Soil structure improvement for better water and nutrient retention
- Tailored application using different particle sizes for specific crop or soil requirements
These uses demonstrate the versatility of Soil Cal as a soil amendment that drives healthier growth and improved agricultural outcomes.
Production
Soil Cal is manufactured to ensure consistent chemical composition and particle size for effective field application. The product contains 85 to 90 percent calcium carbonate, 47 to 50 percent calcium oxide equivalent and a neutralising value of 85 to 90 percent. Magnesium carbonate content ranges from 2 to 18 percent and can be customised according to specific crop or soil requirements.

FAQs
Where is Soil Cal used and how does it benefit?
Soil Cal is applied in croplands, forestryand land reclamation. It neutralizes acidity, improves cation exchange and supplies calcium and magnesium for stronger roots and better nutrient uptake.
How is Soilcalis used in fertilizer manufacturing?
It acts as a neutralizing agent to reduce acidity, serves as a filler to improve granule consistency and prevent caking and supplies calcium and magnesium to enrich nutrient content. It is also used in processes like SSP quenching and bulk blending for balanced, stable formulations.
