ENCAPSALT
Benefits of Use:
- Buffers salts in highly alkaline or sodium-rich soils
- Improves the soil environment for aerobic biological activity
- Stimulates biomass development across all soil types
- Aerates soils and promotes clay flocculation
- Increases water penetration and infiltration
- Enhances nutrient availability for improved plant uptake
- Encourages root mass and deeper root penetration
Addresses the Following Problems:
- Anaerobic soil conditions
- Low soil organic matter
- Poor water penetration
- Salt damage or toxicity to plants
- Inhibited root growth, small root mass
How Encapsalt Works:
- ENCAPSALT frees sodium (Na) ions bound in the soil, allowing irrigation water to effectively leach excess salts deeper into the soil profile. This process improves water penetration and helps remediate crusted, compacted, and hard-setting soils.

This Week in Ag #35
Last week I was a guest on the TopSoil Webinar series hosted by Mitchell Hora of Continuum Ag (you can check it out here). I mentioned how western growers seem further along in their regenerative agriculture journey. That’s largely driven by regional attitudes and the food companies, who have pledged to sell products grown using regen ag practices. This has motivated growers of crops such as potatoes, onions, apples, and blueberries to hasten their adoption. But in the Heartland, where commodity crops fill the landscape, these growers have lacked many of the market-driven economic incentives. Until now.
How Dry Conditions Drive #Plant25 Decisions
There’s an old saying in farming: “Plant in dust, your bins will bust”. The premise is that dry soils will encourage faster, deeper root growth early in the season, which will lead to more robust root systems and stronger plants throughout the growing season. Conversely, crops planted in ideal moisture conditions may become lazy and their roots remain shallow, causing potential problems later in the season when summer heat and dry conditions often arise. If that old adage is true, then Midwest farmers would be looking at a bumper crop in 2025. Then again, there’s dry, then there’s very dry.
