STABILIZE IRRIGATION WATER pH
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. SOIL ACIDIFICATION WITH AQUA-CARBON 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
USE BENEFITS OF AQUA-CARBON
