Salt Remediation for Agriculture

about this project

Salt buildup in agricultural soils, has become the most limiting factor to continued agricultural production in many parts of the world , especially in arid climates. There are very few solutions available.

I have  developed a non toxic homeopathic based product to help plants grow within high salt environments. Two trials on commercial grapes in Chile have shown reductions of Chlorine levels in the new growth of the  plant from a) 13,000ppm to 1500ppm, b) 7700ppm to 300ppm after two applications, applied through the fertigation system. The accompanying healthy plant growth was also observed.

With all work of this type, for it to be adopted quickly and in a broad way, credible scientific trials, need to be carried out. 

a) to prove efficacy in a range of circumstances and crops

b) to establish what is happening to the chlorine in the soil over the longer term

c) how does this product effect the other chemical elements involved in plant growth

d) trial other alternative formulas to increase efficacy.

The BIG costs are for third party scientists to carry out the trials and the cost of plant and  soil testing.
