Sudarshan Group is one of the renowned dolomite powder manufacturers and provides top-of-the-line products for various uses. Reliability is therefore guaranteed due to their experience and thus they are a reputable company in the industry.
Another important application of the dolomite powder in gardening is to enhance the acidity or the alkalinity of the soil. It is the level of acidity or alkalinity of soil and is very important in assessing the extent of nutrient uptake by plants. Most of the plants grow well in the slightly acidic to neutral pH, with the range being between 6.0-7.0. If the soil is too acidic, some nutrients are not easily taken up, and some toxic substances are more soluble. Dolomite powder assists in the process of making the soil less acidic through the process of increasing the pH level making it better for plant growth.
Apart from its ability to regulate the pH level when used in the production of animal feeds, dolomite powder is also a good source of calcium and magnesium. These nutrients are important in the growth and development of plants as far as physiological processes are concerned. Calcium is used in root and leaf formation, plus the construction of the cell wall structure. Magnesium on the other hand is a component of chlorophyll which is the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. When you incorporate dolomite powder into the soil, it means that plants are always going to have access to the nutrients they need.
Dolomite powder is also used to improve the structure of the soil. Compacted soils prevent the roots from growing freely and reduce the oxygen supply to the roots of plants. Dolomite assists in the breaking down of hard compressed soil therefore increasing air circulation and water filtration. This in a way enhances healthier root development and more robust plant growth.
Calcium and magnesium deficiencies become one of the factors that affect the health of plants, including blossom end rot in tomatoes due to calcium deficiency and interveinal chlorosis due to magnesium deficiency. It will be important therefore to apply dolomite powder at regular intervals so that the soil contains both nutrients that are needed.
As for its almost natural origin and the fact that it contains useful nutrients for plants, dolomite powder is not hazardous to organic gardens. It does not introduce chemicals and synthetic substances into the soil, thus ideal for use by gardeners who are keen on organic gardening.
Nevertheless, like any other soil amendment, there are some guidelines that one has to follow when using dolomite powder. If used in large quantities it results in the formation of alkaline soils which is inconducive for the growth of some plants that require slightly acidic soils. To prevent this, gardeners should check their soil pH before the use of dolomite and use the right amounts of application as provided for. There are tremendous numbers of soil testing kits in the market and they are very simple to use to know the present condition of your soil pH and nutrients.
The usual suggestion is to spread dolomite powder at a rate of five pounds per one hundred square feet of garden for acidic soil. For mildly acidic soils, the above-mentioned rates may be reduced. The use of dolomite powder is advised to be done in the fall, to give the soil enough time to alter the pH before the beginning of the next growing season.
