NutraSoft® DG
NutraSoft DG is a high-quality material mined from natural deposits. It is ground to a flour-like powder, then granulated into pellets. The pellets disperse and release calcium and sulfur into the soil on contact with moisture.
Features and Benefits
- An all-natural, high-quality mined material that delivers calcium and sulfate sulfur to crops with a neutral pH
- Promotes healthy root growth and seed emergence while helping to loosen compacted soils quickly
- Decreases nitrate and phosphate runoff as well as decreases the toxic effect of soil salinity
- Increases drainage in conventional and no-till soils to improve water efficiency
- Helps balance calcium:magnesium ratio
- Minimizes heavy metal toxicity
- Improves yields
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When should NutraSoft pelletized gypsum be used?
A: NutraSoft can be applied any time conventional dry fertilizer is applied. Early spring and fall applications are most common and will give adequate time for the NutraSoft to begin to condition the soil. The production process of NutraSoft allows it to begin working quickly. NutraSoft is first ground down to a fine powder, then granulated into a fertilizer sized granule. The granules are held together with a water-soluble binder that allows the product to disperse back into powder when contacted with water (rain, irrigation, dew) after the product is applied.
Q: What is NutraSoft pelletized gypsum used for?
A: NutraSoft will loosen hard-packed and heavy clay soils, allowing for better root growth and water penetration and retention. NutraSoft is an effective conditioner for soils with high sodium content, as it will remove harmful salts that prevent seed germination and are harmful to plant growth.
Q: Will NutraSoft pelletized gypsum modify the pH of the soil?
A: NutraSoft is a pH-neutral product (it will neither raise nor lower soil pH levels). If existing soil pH levels are alkaline, neutral, or acidic, NutraSoft will not have any significant effect on soil pH.
