Technical Data and Instruction Sheet Definition: DOLOKORN®90
Carbonic magnesium lime 90, granulated for arable land, grassland, woodland and garden
Manufacture: Dolokorn results from granulating super-fine milled dolomite meal
Contents:
CaCO3: 60 %
MgCO3: 30 %
Alkaline active constituents (rated as CaO): 53 %
Bulk density: approx. 1170 kg/m³
Specific Density: 2.47 g/cm³
Storage: Keep dry, decomposes when exposed to water or humidity
Grain size: as granulate ~ 1.6 -5.6 mm; after decomposition 90 % < 0.063 mm
Effect: Carbonic magnesium lime supplies lime and magnesium to conserve soil structure, improve soil biology and to raise the pH level. Lime and magnesium dissolve in water in carbonated soils. Therefore, for example magnesium can immediately be absorbed by the plant. When using with liquid manure there are no nitrogen losses due to lime.
