DCM SOLAFIDA® restores the soil balance of your sports turf

Almost all sports fields consist of a sandy top layer with a low humus content. The advantage of this is that such soils are well-drained and stable. A disadvantage, however, is that nutrients can easily leach into the subsoil. Unlike clay and humus particles, sand particles carry no negative charge. As a result, positively charged nutrients such as potassium, magnesium and calcium, as well as trace elements like zinc, copper, manganese and boron, are less effectively bound to soil particles. As a result, the CEC – the Cation Exchange Capacity, also known as the clay-humus complex – is often low and insufficient. By carrying out a targeted application annually at the end of the growing season, the CEC balance of the soil can be better maintained.

The cations present K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and various trace elements are gradually released and remain available to the plant for a long time, thereby also increasing the efficiency of your standard fertilisation programme.

The advantages of this product are:

All essential cations in the soil are brought to the correct level in a single operation: K⁺, Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺.
These cations bind to the negatively charged clay-humus complex, increasing the CEC value and soil fertility.
The soil is able to retain nutrients more effectively and release them when plants need them.
The potassium of plant origin contributes to a strong, hardened turf during autumn and winter.
Calcium of natural origin ensures a crumbly soil structure and strengthens the cell walls of grass plants.
Magnesium of natural origin is indispensable for effective photosynthesis and ensures a deep green leaf colour.
Naturally rich in sulphur and essential trace elements.
Helps to counteract the annual soil acidification, making the nutrients present more absorbable.
Easy-to-spread and readily soluble granule.
