General Product Description

Agricultural plaster, or calcium sulfate, is a technical mineral that improves soil structure and provides calcium and sulfur, key nutrients for the development of plants. Its action also corrects the salinity of the soils, improving its permeability and facilitating the growth of deep roots.

Differences between granulometries and recommended uses

0-10 mm granulometry

Description: Larger particle size, slowly released from nutrients.
Recommended uses: Ideal for soils that require prolonged treatment. Perfect for long cycle crops or clay soils that need a gradual structural improvement.

0-3 mm granulometry

Description: Intermediate size that provides a moderate release of nutrients.
Recommended uses: Versatile for various crops. Suitable for soils with moderate salinity correction needs or those that seek an improvement both in the short and long term.

0-1 mm granulometry

Description: Fine size that offers a rapid release of nutrients.
Recommended uses: Perfect for rapid corrections in soils or short cycle crops. Ideal for situations that require immediate soil improvement, such as nurseries or intensive crops.

Ideal time of application

He Agricultural plaster It can be applied throughout the year, but the optimal times of application are usually:

1. Autumn: Just after the harvest, to prepare the floor for the next season. The autumnal application helps improve soil structure during the coldest months, ensuring that it is in optimal conditions for spring planting.
2. Spring: Before planting or at the beginning of the growth season, when plants demand an adequate supply of calcium and sulfur. Applying it in spring also ensures that nutrients are available during active growth of plants.
3. In arid areas or saline soils: The application can be particularly useful before rainy seasons, to maximize water penetration and facilitate sodium displacement in salinized soils.

Form of application

1. Superficial application: The agricultural plaster must be spread evenly on the ground. Depending on granulometry, it is advisable to use a fertilizer spreading machine to ensure a homogeneous distribution.
2. Incorporation to the ground: To obtain better results, especially with larger granulometries (0-10 mm), it is recommended to incorporate the plaster to the ground by slight or plow. This ensures that nutrients penetrate more deeply and mix better with the substrate.
3. Posterior irrigation: After application, especially in dry climates, it is ideal to apply moderate irrigation. Water facilitates the dissolution and distribution of calcium sulfate in the soil, accelerating its action.
4. Application in direct sowing or grasslands: In these cases, the plaster can be applied directly to the surface without tillage, and it will be rain or irrigation water that is responsible for bringing the product to the deepest layers of the soil.

Benefits of agricultural plaster (calcium sulfate)

• Improve the soil structure: Promotes aeration and reduces compaction.
• ESSENTIAL NUTRIENT SUPPLY: It provides calcium and sulfur, necessary for the optimal growth of plants.
• Salinity correction: It helps to move the sodium of saline soils, improving the quality of the land.
• Improve water infiltration: It promotes greater water penetration in the soil, reducing problems of runoff and erosion.
