Cal-Sap

A premium liquid soluble calcium source

CalSap is a 100% Australian made premium liquid soluble lime that is perfectly formulated to help create optimal soil conditions for your crops to thrive in.

With far more soluble calcium than conventional liming products, CalSap is highly concentrated, fast acting and can improve plant growth by increasing nutrient uptake. Calsap can fight the effects of aluminium toxicity and improve sodic, saline and acidic soils.

Benefits

Reduced freight costs

A highly concentrated product helps to minimize one of the major costs associated with liming practises.

Remediates acidity

Ammoniated fertilisers release Hydrogen ions as they work, generating high levels of localised acidity when banded in soil. CalSap can help you treat this widespread problem.

Improves nutrient availability

Low pH contributes to low availability of many nutrients your crop needs. Maximise the efficiency of your valuable fertiliser inputs with Calsap.

Improves plant root growth

Nutrient and moisture mining are key to helping your crop endure environmental stress. Calsap improves rooting depth and density giving the plant the best foundation while building soil carbon levels for subsequent seasons.

Improve water absorption

in WA every drop of water counts and depending on your soil type, CalSap can dramatically increase the speed at which water enters your soil. Thereby preventing wasteful runoff and increasing the amount of moisture available to your crops.

Features

Calcium where it counts

CalSap has 340 times the soluble calcium found in conventional liming products.

Fully soluble

Unlike suspensions that can be hard to manage and apply, CalSap is a stable solution that is easy to handle, safe, reactive and efficient.

Available in bulk or convenient IBC packaging

Suitable to a wide range of applications and property sizes.

Results

Increased crop yields

A trial of two winter applications of CalSap by Echuca Town & Country Suppliers to a previously unfertilized paddock of pure Sprinter annual ryegrass in Nanneella, Victoria resulted in an additional 600kg DM/ha (a significant increase in yield).

Better soil, deeper roots, higher yields

Graham and Julie Taylor conducted a trial in which they treated one paddock of Crusher Canola with CalSap and left a second paddock untreated. Analysis of the CalSap treated paddock showed it to have a better pH balance, deeper roots and a better yield comparison.
