The yield potential of agricultural soil varies from one field to another depending on various elements: its natural balance, its pH, its organic matter content, and its biological activity. For example, a low pH will result in a decrease in biological activity in the soil, therefore a decrease in mineralization and humification. This translates concretely to a near absence of earthworms, demonstrating a lack of dynamism in the life of the soil. Due to the low content of organic matter in the soil, there is a limitation in the increase in agricultural yields.
Fertilizers enriched with Calkorium are formulated to nourish and develop soil life, increasing the reserve of mineral elements. They contain various elements: phosphorus, nitrogen, potash, sulfur, and others. These fertilizers nourish plants and boost the biological activity of the soil. This increases the mineralization of organic matter, which is responsible, among other things, for yield levels and soil fertility.
Calkorium® is our premix constituent of all our ranges of fertilizers
Calkorium is a natural premix that meets the limits observed by the use of chemical fertilizers. By being added to our fertilizers, it nourishes the microorganisms naturally present in the soil. The premix acts on biodiversity in the soil, which allows better assimilation of nutrients by plants. It also has a role of bio-activator with respect to all the mineral elements: phosphorus, nitrogen, potash, and others.
Phosphorus is a demanding element that needs to be applied in the fields as close as possible to the plant's needs in time and space, without which it cannot be assimilated by plants. In fact, the more time passes, the more this element retrogrades in the ground. The demotion of phosphorus prevents the plant from assimilating it. By nourishing soil bacteria, Calkorium allows the secretion of enzymes that dissolve phosphorus in an optimal and lasting way.
Potassium can also leach out. This is all the more problematic for solutions based on potassium chloride, the chlorine inputs of which are harmful to soil life and plant nutrition. The solutions offered by FCA Fertilisants are designed essentially from potassium sulphate, less leachable than a chloride. By optimizing the absorption of potash by the plant, Calkorium limits leaching. This is possible thanks to its natural chelating power and the revitalization of soil life.
Sulfur of vegetable origin promotes interactions between the elements present in our fertilizers, in particular nitrogen. By stimulating life in soils, Calkorium strengthens the beneficial effects of plant-based sulfur and stimulates the interactions between sulfur and nitrogen (the presence of one of these elements in the soil promotes the assimilation of the other).
Did you know ? Spreading a large amount of fertilizers to increase yields is often not effective, and can have adverse effects on yields and the environment. By doing an analysis, you are able to know the elements and the quantity required to rebalance the life of your soils. This rebalancing enriches your crops, which has a positive and lasting impact on your yields.
The Calko Pro range of fertilizers gradually reduce the amount of nitrogen fertilizer spreading, ensuring that plants consume nitrogen sustainably and independently. These solutions also play a major role in reducing environmental pollution by reducing nitrate residues in soils or in groundwater.
The fertilizers of the Calko PK range create a healthy environment that facilitates plant nutrition. They allow plants to absorb phosphorus and potash at all times, preventing them from downgrading or leaching out. Calko PK solutions also fight against leaching and downshifting by optimizing the absorption of nutritional elements by the plant.
The fertilizers of the Calko NPK range are mainly created from raw materials of natural origin. NPK fertilizers at FCA Fertilisants increase the absorption of fertilizer units by around 30% compared to synthetic fertilizers on the market.
The Calko pH range at Calkorium is mainly composed of calcium and magnesium which favorably maintain the structure and pH of soils. These solutions act directly on the root development of plants and allow optimal germination conditions. Adapted to all types of soil, the Calko PH range helps control surface acidity and combat its effects.
By fighting against acidity, the fertilizers of the Calko PH range reinforce biological activity and thus increase soil fertility.
The fertilizers in the Bio Nutrium range enhance the cycle of organic materials responsible for the agronomic balance of the soil. They work for this on the dynamics of the main elements that compose them: phosphorus, potash, nitrogen, etc.
