TETRA, the world's largest producer of calcium chloride, supplies products suitable for use in the agricultural industry.
All of these products contain 100% water soluble calcium, which gives our customers a tremendous advantage over those using much less soluble calcium sources such as gypsum and limestone.
The products are used:
- As a nutrient to supply calcium for crops,
- As a soil amendment to reduce sodium levels, improve soil tilth and flocculate the soil, and
- As a post harvest dip to increase the shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
