Consequences of a Saline Soil
Soil salinity is one of the main factors affecting crop development, arising from natural conditions or agricultural management practices.

Compacted or saline soil? Productivity starts below ground
Living, structured soils for maximum productivity
Does your soil show any of these symptoms?
- Irrigation water ponds or runs off instead of soaking in.
- Roots stay in the top few centimeters and don't go deeper.
- The soil crusts over or hardens as it dries.
- You need more and more tillage or subsoiling to get the crop started.
- Electrical conductivity is high, with burnt leaf tips or plants that don't respond to fertilizer.
If two or more sound familiar, your yield ceiling is probably in the soil, not in nutrition.
Platícale a un asesor lo que ves en campoOur proposal
Our proposal comprehensively optimizes soil conditions, improving its structure and achieving an optimal balance between macropores and micropores. This positively impacts different soil properties such as infiltration, resistance to penetration, and moisture retention.
Soil conditioning facilitates root growth and exploration, enabling the development of more robust root systems with better development and productivity.
Our proposal contributes to reducing aggressive corrective practices that can damage roots, lowering operational costs and ensuring greater crop profitability.
What happens below ground
Compacted soil loses macropores: water doesn't infiltrate, the root zone runs short of oxygen, and roots spend energy pushing through instead of absorbing. In saline soils, excess salts cause osmotic stress: the water is there, but the plant struggles to take it up.
Our approach works on soil structure to balance macropores and micropores. That improves infiltration, lowers penetration resistance and holds moisture better. Under those conditions, roots explore more soil and the crop makes better use of the water and fertilizer you already apply.
It is the first pillar of RDR (Root Dynamic Regulation): before you stimulate the root, it needs soil it can grow in.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my soil is compacted?
If water ponds, roots don't go deep, or it's hard to push a shovel in at 20–30 cm (8–12 in), the soil is compacted. A soil physical analysis or a penetrometer will confirm it.
Does a soil conditioner replace fertilization?
No. It complements it: it improves conditions so roots can use the nutrients you already apply.
What's the difference between Promesol 5x and Promesol Ca?
Promesol 5x focuses on relieving compaction and improving physical structure. Promesol Ca supplies calcium and is designed for salt stress.
Does it work in any crop?
It is used in vegetables, fruit crops and row crops. Your advisor tailors the program to your crop and soil type.
When is it applied?
Most commonly at the start of the cycle and at times of high root demand, by drench or fertigation. Your advisor defines the exact program.
