The role of Dolomite and Dolomite Powder in Agriculture

6/25/2021

Dolomite is one of the indispensable ingredients in the field of aquaculture, especially shrimp farming. Dolomite is used to treat water, increase the alkalinity of water, provide trace elements and macronutrients for fish feed and create an environment for algae to grow.
 
Dolomite is used to treat pond water when:
- Nutritional imbalance with humus and mud with organic matter
- Soft water, with low alkalinity
- Ao is alkaline
Then, using Dolomite powder sprinkled on the pond will work:
- Neutralize acid, increase pH of water and pond bottom
- Increase CO2 for photosynthesis of phytoplankton
- precipitates the glue in water
- Increased phosphorus content in the bottom, reducing dissolved phosphorus
Provides macronutrients such as Ca, Mg, P, Na, K, Cl and trace elements such as Fe, Mn, B, Mo, Cu, Co, Zn ... Create a favorable environment for algae to grow. 


Use Dolomite as a feedstock for aquaculture
During aquaculture, the pH of the pond continuously decreases, the composition of macronutrients and micronutrients need to be added to create a suitable environment for aquatic and algae useful growth; Therefore, it is often necessary to sprinkle with Dolomite powder.
The amount of Dolomite powder sprinkled periodically should be based on the pH of water, with a drop of about 1 pH can be powdered, the rate of sprinkling is 30 to 50kg / hectare.
Thus, Dolomite plays an important role in aquaculture from which to increase productivity, efficiency in aquaculture and aquaculture.
