Lower is a fully organic formulation designed to reduce the EC and pH of irrigation water. No chemical compounds are used in its production. At an application rate of 0.5–1 Kg/1000 L of water, it can reduce water pH by up to 6 units, depending on the carbonate and bicarbonate content of the water.
AN ORGANIC PH AND EC REDUCER FOR BOTH WATER AND SOIL
LOWER is a fully organic formulation produced without the use of synthetic chemical compounds. It is a powerful bicarbonate-reducing and neutralizing agent for both irrigation water and soil, helping improve their chemical conditions and facilitating the uptake of micronutrients by plants.
For this reason, the use of LOWER in hot and arid regions with alkaline soil and irrigation water can improve crop performance and soil conditions.
The presence of tartaric acid (a dicarboxylic acid) and potassium citrate acetate enables LOWER, unlike conventional industrial acids, to reduce soil pH effectively and sustainably, without causing harm to natural ecosystems or beneficial microorganisms. Using 0.5–1 Kg/1000 L of water of LOWER in one liter of distilled water can reduce pH by up to 6 units.
High EC causes osmotic stress and nutrient-uptake stress. Due to insufficient water uptake, plants are forced to close their stomata, causing overall photosynthetic activity to decline significantly. As a result, plants may experience severe energy deficits, leaf drop, reduced fruit size, flower abortion, and other symptoms.
By effectively reducing EC, LOWER helps mitigate the adverse effects of high salinity on crop performance.
In addition, LOWER can break down carbonate and calcium-based deposits, making it highly effective for removing accumulated deposits from irrigation pipes and drip emitters.
Special Characteristics:
Organic Acids for pH Reduction
Suitable for application through irrigation water and foliar spraying.
Irrigation Since the bicarbonate content of water varies depending on the geological layers and soil conditions of each area, the recommended approach is to first conduct a small-scale test, for example, using 1 liter of water. Add Lower gradually in small amounts and measure the pH to determine the optimal application rate.
Foliar 0.5 Kg/1000 L of water when mixed with fertilizers or pesticides.
Compatible with all Emami Corp fertilizers.
