SPONSORED CONTENT THE NO CALCINE The Road to Better Soil ponding. Field trials with high-salt soils that were treated with Calcine revealed earthworm populations increased, enhancing soil structure and nutrient cycling even further. Calcine researchers found as much as a 25 percent increase in yield as a result. Improving soil structure leads to increased permeability and water-holding capacity whether your farm is dryland or irrigated. An Arizona grower trialing Calcine" in their alfalfa crops saw a 36 percent reduction in water usage after four months of treatment. The trial also revealed Calcine increases protein, fat and calcium of forage crops like alfalfa. Producers can see S4 to $10 in return for every dollar invested. In addition, bringing land back into production has the potential to increase land values by as much as several thousand dollars per acre. "As you can see, we have some vegetation growing As a producer you know your crop is only as good as your soil. When things go awry, whether with nutrient profile or soil structure it is often due to high salt densities and as a result yields suffer. Area producers are finding a new product, Calcine", to be particularly THE ACE the green. "We are about one to one and a half leaves further ahead and our stand counts are probably four or five beets more per 100 feet of row, which is tremendous," said Gary Wagner, a local farmer.
