Sodium-pHix™ increases the electrolyte concentration and provides calcium to create an ion exchange reaction with sodium. This process improves the soil’s physical and chemical properties, controlling soil salinity and increasing calcium content. Soils with high sodium content do not perform as well as calcium-rich soils.

High-purity Sodium-pHix is proven to:

• Improve soil structure
  • Gypsum provides calcium, which can flocculate clay soils and reduce the swelling of smectite and open pore spaces, improving the penetration of water, air and roots into the soil.
• Increase water infiltration
  • As the soil structure improves, the water infiltration rate and hydraulic conductivity of the soil increases.
• Prevent crust buildup
  • Increasing the electrolyte concentration of the irrigation water can prevent depositional crusts on soil surfaces, which can adversely affect water infiltration rates and seed emergence and germination.
• Enhance moisture retention
  • Gypsum helps soil take in and retain moisture, which is especially critical in times of drought.
• Improve fertilization
  • Supplies bio-available calcium and sulfur, elements vital to proper plant growth and development.
• Enhance nutrient absorption
  • Calcium regulates the balance of micronutrients in grass plants and optimizes the calcium-to-magnesium ratio in soils.

Earth-Friendly Fact:

Sodium-pHix is environmentally safe. It is inert and non-toxic; taken from the same gypsum deposits as food- and pharmaceutical-grade calcium sulfate.
