• Interrupts Crystal Formation
• Improves Soil Structure

Caltrisal is a patented formulation of polymaleic acid that increases the solubility of both natural and applied calcium and magnesium for faster and more thorough incorporation into the soil profile. It helps replace harmful sodium ions in the soil (which can weaken soil particle aggregation and lead to compaction) with beneficial calcium and magnesium which re-aggregate soil particles for increased porosity. This greater porosity allows for greater infiltration and penetration of water for a healthier, more functional soil profile.

Traditionally, calcium (either gypsum or limestone depending upon soil pH) is added to the soil surface where it solubilizes slowly. Caltrisal speeds up the solubilization process and interrupts the crystallization of calcium carbonate, which keeps more calcium in solution. Any calcium carbonate that does crystallize is amorphous and is much more readily re-solubilized. By enhancing solubility, more calcium is active in the soil solution to bind small clay particles together and re-aggregate the soil.
