SatoSoil® pHoenix

In intensive farming, there is a gradual accumulation of nitrites, chlorides, carbonates, sulfates in the upper layers of the soil as a result of excessive mineralization. Excessive salt content in the soil disables huge arable areas, since at medium and high atmospheric temperatures the topsoil overheats, which provokes constant capillary evaporation of moisture from groundwater, and mineral fertilizers are no longer absorbed by plants and settle in the soil, salting it even more.

SatoSoil® pHoenix soil improver consists of ecological sapropel and lowland peat with non-toxic phosphogypsum. Phosphogypsum is an excellent adsorbent, has a high water-absorbing capacity and eliminates soda, and the absorbed sodium is replaced by calcium, forming neutral salts – sodium sulfates. In its turn, humic substances form stable water-insoluble compounds with metal ions contained in the soil and molecules of inorganic compounds that pollute the environment and in ion exchange absorb excess sodium, calcium and magnesium present in saline soils. Thus, the soil improver SatoSoil® pHoenix restores the neutral pH of the soil, removes excess nitrates and ammonium salts.

SatoSoil® pHoenix is suitable for the restoration of professional lawns, on construction sites and in industrial areas where revegetation activities are required after construction and industrial work. It’s possible to develop a more specific compound with reagents for binding to insoluble complexes of pollutants.

• is an sorbent buffer that absorbs excess salts;
• prevents the penetration of salts, heavy metals and radionuclides to the root system of plants;
• improves soil friability, activates metabolic processes, increases healthy microflora;
• retains moisture and strengthens plant defenses.
