Aragonite for Turf, Landscape & Golf.
A natural calcium carbonate for soil-test-driven pH, calcium, top-dressing and root-zone programs.
Supplied as AG-CAL, 0.2–0.5 mm (published range), or as a custom classification to a written specification.
The turf application
Mineral chemistry and particle sizing, working together.
Oolitic aragonite is a marine-origin calcium carbonate used in turf and landscape programs as a calcium source, an acidity-neutralizing carbonate and a graded mineral component.
Composition is 96.17% CaCO3 with 38.51% elemental calcium.
- Calcium and alkalinity. As a carbonate, aragonite supplies calcium and alkalinity. Soil pH, reserve acidity, rate, placement and irrigation determine field response.
- Root-zone particle design. For construction, top-dressing or amendment use, the complete sieve curve and fines fraction support compatibility with the existing root-zone blend.
- Hydraulic behavior. Particle distribution, blend design and placement influence drainage, infiltration and root-zone performance.
- Application handling. Moisture, particle distribution, spreader settings and wind conditions affect flow, coverage and dust management.
What matters to a turf manager
Start with the site, then select the grade.
Soil and water analysis
Document current pH, buffer pH or reserve acidity, calcium status, salinity and irrigation-water chemistry before setting a program.
Particle distribution
Sieve distribution determines top-dressing compatibility, infiltration, blending and application-equipment fit.
Hydraulic and root-zone criteria
Construction and renovation programs integrate particle sizing, permeability, blend compatibility and course design.
Material documentation
Grade specifications, safety data and analytical documentation support procurement and application planning.
A practical path from specification to use.
Define
Provide the turf species, use area, soil or root-zone report, target response and application equipment.
Trial
Apply a representative area at the agronomically selected rate and document coverage, handling and initial soil response.
Monitor
Track soil pH, calcium status, infiltration and turf response over the locally appropriate interval before scaling.
A turf input selected by soil analysis and site goals.
Soil conditions, turf goals and particle sizing guide product selection, rate and placement.
Golf-green construction and renovation integrate the selected root-zone blend, hydraulic properties and course design requirements.
Discuss turf conditions, sizing and product requirements.
Send the soil or root-zone report, use area, target response, volume and destination for product matching and pricing.
