Soil Conditioning Products

Areas of land that are constantly used for large-scale farming tend to lose its nutrients faster than non commercial ones. Soil quality naturally decreases after every harvest, and lack of proper soil management can take a toll on your future harvests. This is why taking a preventive stance via soil conditioning is recommended after every few crop cycles.


Soil conditioning is an important aspect of farming. Well-conditioned soil yields healthier crops and is more profitable in the long run. Soil conditioners can augment the effect of fertilisers and improve soil fertility.



Together with proper farming techniques, soil conditioners and fertilisers can help maintain productive yields every season. Ag-Culture Enterprises has a wide range of soil conditioning products that can help improve your soil quality and future crop yields.

LIME

Lime increases the pH of almost all soil types and also helps adjust water pH — making it great for agricultural purposes. Lime is also a great calcium source, and it helps improve soil structure and NPK uptake. It also influences soil microorganisms and is used as a stock feed supplement.

GYPSUM

Gypsum naturally occurs as calcium sulphate and is used as a clay breaker. While this does not raise soil pH, this is especially useful for water penetration and photosynthesis. It is also good for re-vegetation purposes and its high solubility makes it a good calcium source for plants.

SILICA

Silica is mostly used for plant resistance, soil detoxification and improvement of plant strength, flowering and fruit setting. It also improves crop tolerance, helps replenish soil nutrients and supports plants become pathogen resistant.

ZEOLITE

Zeolite is used for improving plant growth and water infiltration and retention. It also enhances fertiliser efficiency, soil quality and crop yield. It helps reduce nutrient soil and improves nutrient retention for plant use.

DOLOMITE

Dolomite is used to reduce soil acidity and improves NPK uptake. It supplies and maintains the ratio of calcium and magnesium in soil and helps nutrients move through plants. This is also used as stock feed supplement.

RAW HUMATE

Raw Humate is great for improving aeration, water retention, seed strike and root growth. It also augments the performance of lime, fertilisers and urea supplements. It also helps in the promotion of natural soil organisms.

MAGNESIUM OXIDE

Also known as “burnt magnesite”, magnesium oxide increases soil pH and helps improve chlorophyll and photosynthesis. It is highly soluble and is usually used for soil that already has enough calcium content.

CALCIUM OXIDE

Calcium oxide is used to treat highly acidic soil and is great for soil that needs its pH to raise quickly. This is also known as quicklime or burnt lime.

SILICA

Organic Product Range

MANURE

Manure is organic matter containing lots of nutrients, such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. It also helps improve soil structure and moisture retention.

COMPOST

Compost is organic matter that helps improve nutrient levels in soil as well as moisture retention. It also increases disease resistance in plants and helps aid crop yield and quality.

We can also do custom blends upon request. Give us a call at Ag-Culture Enterprises today and let us talk about what kind of soil conditioners and blends your land needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is it cost effective to buy soil conditioners and fertilisers in bulk?

    Buying soil conditioners and fertilisers in bulk is generally cheaper and more cost effective in the long run as opposed to buying retail in smaller quantities. Buying in bulk is also ideal for those who own large areas of land and harvest crops at a commercial scale.

  • How often should I use soil conditioners?

    It is generally recommended to use soil conditioners before you start using your land for plants and crops and, as often as you can after that. However, this depends on the overall quality of your soil after every harvest. Organic soil conditioners are more frequently applied compared to inorganic soil conditioners.

  • Do I need to get my soil tested first before using soil conditioners?

    Soil conditioners have a variety of uses depending on what your soil needs. This is why a soil test (Total Grower Services Burnette) is needed as this will guide you when it comes to determining what kind of soil conditioners are needed to improve your soil and foster higher crop yields.
