Abiotic stress covers non-living pressures that hold crops back, including drought, salinity and poor soil structure. They limit how much water and nutrient a plant can take up, slow growth and can cut yields sharply. With climate variability rising, these conditions are hitting more fields, more often.

Sodium in the soil blocks water and nutrient uptake and breaks down soil structure. Borregaard's solutions release that sodium so it can be flushed away and replaced by calcium or other nutrients, letting water move freely through the soil again. At the same time, their biostimulant action helps the plant keep taking up water and nutrients even while salt is still present. 

Yes, they work better together. Correctors like gypsum, calcium thiosulfate or acidifiers supply calcium, but that calcium can only replace sodium once the sodium is released from the soil. Borregaard's solutions mobilise the sodium locked in the soil so the calcium can move in and take its place, making the corrector more effective, not redundant. On top of that, they add a biostimulant, anti-stress effect that purely chemical correctors don't have, keeping the plant productive while the soil recovers.

Yes. Borregaard's solutions come in calcium, ammonium and potassium forms. Where calcium is already in excess, the ammonium or potassium form mobilises sodium and delivers the same biostimulant benefit without adding more calcium, helping rebalance the soil instead of loading it further. 

Irrigation helps carry the released sodium below the root zone, so it's useful. But growers often see improvement even before full flushing, because the biostimulant effect supports the crop directly. Water speeds the process up; it isn't the only lever.

Well-structured soil forms stable clumps with pores that let water soak in, air reach the roots and roots grow deep. Borregaard's solutions help build and maintain that structure. Divalent cations such as calcium act as bridges between soil particles and the clay-humus complex. Better structure means more stored water and more resilience when conditions turn dry or saline.

Yes. They're highly soluble and stable across a wide pH range, including high-salt fertiliser blends, and come in soluble powder or liquid form, so manufacturers can add them to a broad range of soil and foliar products without reformulating.

Yes. Selected Borregaard products are OMRI Listed and are compatible with standard irrigation systems. As organic certification schemes vary by region, confirm the specific approval that applies to your market.
