GeoKalk Soil improver is a grey, yellowish-grey powdery material containing a minimum of 60% CaCO3 and other organic matter and trace elements.
It has a maximum moisture content of 25% and is therefore highly friable and powdery, making it easy to spread with the right equipment. It is very easy to use, it is sufficient to spread directly on the ground, no need to rotate, no scorching effect.
Storage is simple and economical, it can be stored in a depot without covering and its quality is maintained indefinitely.

On average, in acidic areas (pH 5.8-6), we recommend applying 3 tonnes per hectare. The ideal application time is after cereals before ploughing, but the material is available to growers all year round. The recommended rate is expected to have a soil improvement effect for up to 2-3 years.
