Enhancing Soil Stability with TIMAC AGRO’s Calcimer Technology
Soil stability is a critical factor for sustainable crop production. It involves maintaining a soil structure that supports water retention, nutrient supply, and root growth. Achieving soil stability requires addressing various biological, chemical, and physical processes within the soil. TIMAC AGRO offers an innovative solution to enhance soil stability by using Calcimer.
Calcimer is a marine carbonate derived from ground seashells, known for its high tenderness and porosity. Its unique microstructure, composed of calcite and aragonite, ensures excellent solubility in soil. This solubility promotes the flocculation of clay and organic matter, which is essential for creating a stable clay-humic complex. This complex is crucial for maintaining soil structure and improving the circulation of water, air and roots.
Soil stability is intrinsically linked to soil aeration and structure. A well-structured soil has a good balance of pores that store water for plant use, allow air to circulate, and provides space for root growth. Calcimer enhances these properties ensuring that soil remains stable and supports sustainable crop production.
The unique characteristics of Calcimer, such as its high porosity and solubility, make it an effective soil conditioner. When used as lime or part of other specific lime products, Calcimer facilitates greater soil interaction. This interaction reduces soil losses and increases the formation of stable macro-aggregates, which are essential for maintaining soil stability.
By incorporating Calcimer into different soil types, farmers can ensure better soil structure and stability, leading to more sustainable and productive agricultural practices.
TIMAC AGRO’s Calcimer Technology not only protects the soil but also enhances its stability, making it a vital component for sustainable farming. By using Calcimer, farmers can achieve greater soil health and improve crop yields, ensuring long-term agricultural sustainability.
These actions are in line with the Groupe Roullier CS Commitments to make our products more sustainable and contribute to fighting climate change.
