What does Dolomite do?

• Dolomite neutralises soil acidity.
• Provides the element Calcium essential to maintain plant cell functions.
• Provides Magnesium essential for chlorophyll production.
• Stimulates microbacterial activity in the soil to aid plant nutrient availability.
• Dolomite helps to ensure the breakdown of organic matter and increases the availability of nitrogen to plants.
• The availability of molybdenum is improved by the use of dolomite on acid soils.

Why use Dolomite?

• Correct the symptoms of Magnesium deficiency in bananas, citrus, tomatoes, potatoes, cauliflowers and cereals.
• Neutralise soil acidity caused by frequent application of ammonia and nitrogen based fertilizers.
• Promote efficient conservation of essential nutrients by soil bacteria.
• Restore the critical soil balance by normal cropping.
