Promoting Autumn growth of pasture and crops
The dual action of Golden Bay Dolomite on soil structure promotes good plant root development and architecture which gives plants better access to water and nutrients for strong overall growth.
Calcium and magnesium play key roles in plant growth. Calcium is important for healthy plant root stem and leaf growth. While magnesium is essential for plant growth, being actively involved in photosynthesis and is found at the centre of the chlorophyll molecule. Magnesium also plays an important role in plant respiration and energy.
A smart product option
The calcium and magnesium components of Golden Bay Dolomite have a dual action on particle formation. Calcium loosens soil by flocculating soil particles together, therefore increasing the air space between particles. While magnesium separates soil particles reducing the air space. Golden Bay Dolomite has an optimum percentage of calcium to magnesium, achieving the perfect balance between allowing water, air, and nutrient movement, while minimising leaching.

The good news is that Golden Bay Dolomite has a long-lasting action in soils -breaking down over an extended 18–24 months period. If you’re seeing the tell-tail signs of these deficiencies this Autumn, supplementing your future fertiliser programme with an application of Dolomite will ensure that these nutrient levels build effectively in your soils. The calcium and magnesium in Golden Bay Dolomite bind tightly in soils, so they are not subject to leaching.
