SALDIUM
Soil Salinity Corrector Based on Polymerized Polymaleic Acid
SALDIUM is a soil salinity corrector formulated with polymerized polymaleic acid to help recover soil structure and crop performance under saline conditions.
Excess salts limit water uptake, nutrient availability and root activity. SALDIUM acts in the rhizosphere to support salt management programs, improve soil conditions for root development and help crops maintain productivity when irrigation water or soil salinity become limiting factors.
It is designed for professional fertigation and soil strategies in horticultural crops, fruit trees, vineyards and other high-value productions exposed to salinity stress.
Technical profile
SALDIUM is built around a concentrated polymerized polymaleic acid technology for soil salinity management.
Its main technical advantages are:
- Polymerized polymaleic acid at high concentration for salinity correction programs.
- Soil-focused action to support the rhizosphere under salt stress.
- Compatible with fertigation strategies in professional crop programs.
- Supports nutrient and water availability when salinity restricts crop performance.
- Suitable for saline soils and irrigation water management plans.
Composition and guaranteed analysis
| Composition | % w/w |

| Polymerized polymaleic acid | 33.0 |
| Density | 1.13 |
Benefits and agronomic effects
SALDIUM helps growers manage salinity where soil or water quality reduces crop potential.
Main benefits include:
- Helps correct soil salinity conditions.
- Supports root activity under salt stress.
- Improves growing conditions for nutrient uptake.
- Fits fertigation and soil application programs.
- Useful in horticulture, fruit trees and other saline-sensitive crops.
Application rates and timing
Soil application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Horticultural crops (tomato, pepper, cucumber, eggplant, melon, watermelon, zucchini, lettuce, brassicas, etc.) | From transplanting until harvest according to crop stage and salinity level. | Initial / shock: 4–8 L/ha · Maintenance: 1–2 L/ha | Pre-transplant or first irrigation; then every 10–20 days under saline conditions. |
| Fruit trees & vine (citrus, grapevine, apple, pear, stone fruits, pomegranate, olive, avocado, mango) | Apply at the beginning of the season and repeat during critical growth stages. | Initial / shock: 2–4 L/ha · Maintenance: 1–2 L/ha | At the beginning of root activity; during flowering, fruit set and fruit development. |
| Berries & high-value crops (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry) | Adjust frequency based on salinity levels and crop requirements. | Initial / shock: 4–8 L/ha · Maintenance: 1–2 L/ha | At planting or start of root activity; repeat according to soil EC and irrigation water. |
| Field & industrial crops (maize, wheat, soybean, sunflower, cotton, sugarcane) | Helps improve establishment, root growth and tolerance to saline stress. | Initial / shock: 4–6 L/ha · Maintenance: 2–3 L/ha | Pre-sowing or first irrigation; during early vegetative development if required. |
| Rice & salt-sensitive irrigated crops | Improves soil conditions and reduces salt accumulation in the root zone. | Initial / shock: 4–6 L/ha · Maintenance: 2–3 L/ha | At soil preparation or first irrigation; during early development (tillering stage). |
| Root, tuber & bulb crops (potato, onion, garlic, carrot, beet and similar) | During root, tuber or bulb development. | Initial / shock: 4–8 L/ha | At planting or emergence. Ensures better root development and higher yield under saline conditions. |
