AQUA-CARBON 2.5 gallon

Natural Solution to Improve Irrigation Water, Soil Penetration and Hydration

 

• Lowers the pH of irrigation water
• Increases infiltration of applied water
• Softens seed coat for germination
• Minimizes scale formation in drip irrigation lines

By pre-treating irrigation waters with Aqua-Carbon, carbonates and bicarbonates are converted to highly-soluble and organically-rich lignosulfonate salts, which stabilize soil pH and serve as a source of nutrition for soil microbes. UsingAqua-Carbon can increase readily available calcium and organic sulfur to soils.

USE BENEFITS OF AQUA-CARBON

• Safe to handle

• Will not burn the skin

• Will not harm the environment

• Classified by DOT standards as non-corrosive

• Contains only NOP and OMRI listed ingredients

High pH irrigation waters contain significant levels of carbonates and bicarbonates. When repeatedly introduced into soils, these substances shift soil pH towards the alkaline side of the spectrum. Such a shift can negatively affect soil microbiology and reduce the availability of soil nutrients. By pre-treating irrigation waters with Aqua-Carbon, carbonates and bicarbonates are converted to highly-soluble and organically-rich lignosulfonate salts, which stabilize soil pH and serve as a source of nutrition for soil microbes.

Improper soil pH can adversely impact turf quality. Originating from organic plant material, Aqua-Carbon conditions soils by reducing alkalinity and lowering soil pH. Field trials have shown that the addition of Aqua-Carbon to standard fertility programs can:

• Add organic matter

• Reduce soluble salts

• Increase cation exchange capacity

• Stimulate microbial activity in the soil

• Improve water penetration

In addition, the long term use of Aqua-Carbon can:

• Increase readily available calcium and organic sulfur to soils

• Provide both rapid and slow release carbon to soils
