Sodium-pHix soil neutralizer in ProPlus Prescriptive Agronomic Formulations line
-natural gypsum mineral lowers sodium levels in soil to enhance vegetation
-increases the electrolyte concentration and provides calcium to create an ion exchange reaction with sodium
-two particle sizes – a fine-granule hydro formula with a suspending agent for use in hydraulic applications, and a larger broadcast particle for application through a spreader
Two Sodium pHix formulations offer the following key benefits:
Improves Soil Structure—Gypsum provides calcium, which can flocculate clay soils and reduce the swelling of smectite and open pore spaces, improving the penetration of water, air and roots into the soil.
Enhances Moisture Retention—Gypsum helps soil take in and retain moisture, which is especially critical in times of drought.
Improves Fertilization—Supplies bio-available calcium and sulfur, elements vital to proper plant growth and development.
Has a Positive Irrigation Effect—Controlling soil salinity with appropriate water management is especially important because soils with high sodium content do not perform as well as calcium-rich soils.
Sodium-pHix joins three other ProPlus soil neutralizers: Aqua pHix Hydro, Granular, Spray and Fertigation proprietary formulations of self-buffering, chelated organic and inorganic acids designed to help manage alkaline soils; NeutraLime Dry which contains 50 percent more CaCO3 and is used for soil pH values less than 6.3; and NeutraLime Liquid, an easy-to-use additive which contains a high concentrate of the purest form of limestone.
