Optimize High-Mag Soils with Bio-Cal®

Results that redefine what’s possible in challenging soils

A 2025 field trial in Northwest Iowa proved Bio-Cal® to be a game-changer for growers managing high-magnesium soils. The study showed 30% less early-season evaporation, 5% better water use efficiency, and visibly healthier, more uniform stands across treated acres.

Transforming Planting Conditions from the Ground Up

High-magnesium soils are notorious for being tight, crusty, and slow to dry—conditions that hinder emergence and limit yield potential. Bio-Cal’s unique calcium blend works to flocculate clay particles, creating open, friable seedbeds that encourage faster root initiation and stronger early growth.

Smarter Water Management in Tough Soils

By improving soil structure, Bio-Cal enhances infiltration and reduces runoff, helping moisture move efficiently through the profile. The result is cooler, looser soil that holds water where plants need it most—especially in silty loam fields prone to crusting.

Building the Foundation for Long-Term Performance

Bio-Cal improves planting conditions and water dynamics in even the most difficult soils, helping growers unlock healthier crops and higher yields season after season.
