Dolomite Granules for Soil Conditioning: Complete Guide

Dolomite Granules for Soil Conditioning: A Complete Guide

Dolomite granules are essential for farmers dealing with acidic soils. Here is everything you need to know about using dolomite for soil conditioning.

Why Soil Becomes Acidic

Indian soils can become acidic due to: - Heavy rainfall leaching calcium and magnesium - Overuse of chemical fertilizers - Acid-forming crop residues - Industrial pollution

How Dolomite Corrects Soil Acidity

Dolomite Ball Granules contain: - Calcium Oxide (CaO): 28-32% — neutralises soil acids - Magnesium Oxide (MgO): 18-22% — provides essential nutrient

When applied to soil, dolomite slowly dissolves, releasing calcium and magnesium ions that neutralise acid and raise pH to optimal levels (6.0-7.0).

Application Guidelines

Rate - Mild Acidity (pH 5.5-6.0): 200-300 kg per acre - Moderate Acidity (pH 5.0-5.5): 300-500 kg per acre - Severe Acidity (pH <5.0): 500-800 kg per acre

Timing - Apply 2-4 weeks before planting - Best applied during land preparation - Can be applied any season in greenhouse farming

Method - Spread uniformly across the field - Mix into top 15 cm of soil - Irrigate after application for faster activation

Benefits of Dolomite Granules vs Powder

• Easier to spread uniformly
• Less dust during application
• Slower release = longer lasting effect
• No caking during storage

Crops That Benefit Most

Wheat, rice, maize, vegetables, fruits, tea, coffee, and all crops grown in acidic soils.
