Losses caused by intensive human agricultural activity and the use of physiologically acidic nitrogen fertilisers contribute to soil acidification. This, in turn, hinders the transfer of water and mineral salts to the above-ground parts of plants. Crops grown on acidic soils show less resistance to drought, frost damage, and pathogens. One of the most important ways to regulate soil pH is through a liming treatment.
bi calc+ is a granular limestone fertiliser that contains a wealth of bacteria stimulating humus formation processes and nitrogen compound conversions. This innovative product, made of finely ground limestone flour, is easy to apply and quickly dissolves in the soil environment. With the inclusion of concentrated bacteria cultures, the breakdown processes of organic matter occur faster, allowing plants to more efficiently absorb nutrients and strengthen their resistance to adverse conditions and diseases.
Liming with the use of granules increases the intensity of nitrogen uptake from the air by slow-growing microorganisms and raises the availability of phosphorus from the soil. It is worth noting that bi calc+ stimulates the growth of crop plant roots, which improves nutrient absorption and contributes to increased crop yields.

DOSAGE | APPLICATION |
---|---|
0,5 - 1 t/ha | Annually, depending on soil acidity and its agronomic category. bi calc+ can be applied from spring to late autumn, but the best time for application is during the summer after ploughing, before autumn cultivation. |
The fertiliser should not be applied directly before or after the application of mineral fertilisers containing phosphorus and nitrogen in the form of ammonium or amide, as well as natural fertilisers such as manure, slurry, or compost.
The recommended interval between these treatments is at least 3-4 weeks.
The use of the fertiliser on frozen, snow-covered, or waterlogged soils is prohibited. It is not recommended to use bi calc+ limestone fertiliser together with plant protection products.
