Absolute Acid™: Sustainable Soil Health and Salinity Management Solution

Contact Us
Absolute Acid™ is a complex of weak organic acids from the hydroxycarboxylic family. These weak acids are complexed to improve water penetration. Absolute Acid is not designed to treat every drop of water, like most other “strong” acids on the market. Instead, Absolute Acid™ is designed to prepare our soils to accept the marginal water quality that we experience today.

Absolute Acid™ will react with soil calcium and convert it into a form that is five times more “nutrient available” and also support an “exchange reaction” when compared to gypsum. Salt management with a weak organic acids like Absolute Acid™ can be incorporated with successful calcium programs when integrated with Absolute Acid™ and will provide bio-rational results (safe to living soil).

Salts management can be achieved through the use of low frequent rates of Absolute Acid™. The critical salts that are often found at near toxic or toxic levels include chloride, sodium, carbonates, bicarbonate s, and sulfates. Many other nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorous, and other micro-nutrients are found to be imbalanced.

Absolute Acid™ will assist in solubilizing and removing excessive negative salts, and promote displacement and balance of other ions.

As our soils dry, calcium is precipitated out by excess bicarbonates, forming a white crusty layer at the soil interface. Absolute Acid™ will prevent the loss of calcium from the soil and will prevent an accumulation of excess salts, especially sodium.

Absolute Acid™ may be combined with Calcium 880Plus™ or ProCal™ applications to improve solubility and conversions to crop available forms on a continuing basis.

FEATURES:
• Non-corrosive material
• Carbon-based acids
• Contains amine
• Converts Calcium
• Extremely safe material for employees, irrigation systems and components

BENEFITS:
• Used to prevent mineral scaling and corrosion in irrigation systems
• Ideal for continuous injection at low economic rates
• Converts calcium to plant available forms
• Solubilize risk salts for successful salt management programs
• Aid in water penetration with complexed weak acids
• Supports chelating activity
• Converts other nutrients to plant available forms
• Biodegradable
• Safely degrades to minerals, CO2, and water
• Residual activity in soils will prevent salts from re-forming compounds such as calcium phosphate in western soils

Like these decks of cards, soils vary on compaction. A new deck of cards, would be flat, with the cards closer together do not allow air to come between, same as soils with a salinity issue. Ions form together, lowering nutrient availability.

Weak organic acids like Absolute Acid™ open that soil up like this older, well-shuffled deck of cards, allowing water penetration and the ability for nutrients to be available to the plant.
