Salt Remediation Using Solu-Cal S Enhanced Dihydrate Gypsum
SOLU-CAL S is Dihydrate Gypsum formulated with Intensify Soil Microbial BioCatalyst. The proper application rate depends on your soil test results. Apply to dry turf. Water in thoroughly.
Fairway Applications:
Solu-Cal S Application
Apply 250lbs of Solu-Cal S per acre and water in as you would with any fertility application. The Solu-Cal S application can be repeated every 6 weeks or as needed. For turf with low K levels, an application of KCal Plus 0-0-24 is recommended at 200lbs/acre.
Greens and Tees:
Solu-Cal S MICRO Application
• TO MAINTAIN OPTIMUM GROWING CONDITIONS: Coverage 8,000 sq ft. Apply 6 lbs per 1000 sq ft or 260 lbs per acre through the growing season.
• TO CORRECT HIGH SODIUM OR APPLICATIONS TO HIGH CEC OR HEAVY CLAY SOILS: Coverage 4000 sq ft. Apply 12.5 lbs per 1000 sq ft or 550 lbs per acre. To assure complete and even coverage, apply at half rates in two directions.
Water in as you would with any fertility application. This can be repeated every 4 weeks or as needed for maintenance as described above. For turf with low K levels, an application of Kcal Plus 0-0-24 is recommended at 150 lbs/acre.

Did You Know
Solu-Cal, a calcitic lime, is four times more effective than regular lime. If a superintendent is told to use a ton of lime per acre, he can do the same thing with 500 pounds of Solu-Cal. There are labor savings, storage savings, fewer empty bags to fool with, fewer refills.
Why Calcium?
The Forgotten Nutrient
Calcium in the Soil:
- Primary nutrient in maintaining proper soil pH
- Improves soil texture
- Reduces soil compaction
- Creates better environment for the proliferation of beneficial bacteria
- Possible links to weed suppression
Calcium in the Plant:
- Vital constituent of cell walls within the plant
- Strong cell walls significantly reduce disease and insect pressures and outbreaks
- Enhances cell tissue strength for greater resistance to heat and traffic stress
- Increases the availability of N-P-K and other vital micro nutrients
- Used more by weight and volume than any other nutrient
Why Sulfur?
- Sulfur is needed by plants in relatively large amounts
- Aids in the formulation of chlorophyll
- Aids in the fixation of nitrogen by micro organisms
- Sulfur is vital in plant metabolism
