HUALI Soil Amendment CD-1 provides immediate benefits for turf establishment and permanent performance for water savings, improved infiltration rates, control of excess water, tolerance of recycled and salty water, and more. Improve the performance of you greens and fairways by incorporating 5% to 10% of HUALI Soil Amendment CD-1 (by volume) into the root zone.
1, Golf Superior Turf Management
the diatomite soil amendment is superior in reducing compaction thanks to its low bulk density, and has superior water absorption. Soil Amendment provides immediate benefits for turf establishment and permanent performance for water savings, improved infiltration rates, control of excess water, tolerance of recycled and salty water, and more.
2, Landscapes and Horticulture
the diatomite soil amendment creates an ideal soil structure for all of your indoor and outdoor plants, it saves water - essential for environmentally-friendly projects and harsh environments such as containers and green roofs.
3, Lawns and turf Sports fields, residential and commercial
By adding porosity to the soil with diatomite soil amendment, even the hardest native soils can be amended to allow turf to recover more quickly and respond faster to regular maintenance. Additionally, improved soil allows fertilizers and pesticides to be more effective, sometimes at lower rates, to produce a better playing surface.
4, As Infield Conditioner for baseball fields and softball fields.
5, Dust and Moisture Control for Equestrian Footing Materials.
6, Growing medium for orchid, succulent plants, and soilless culture.
HUALI Soil Amendment CD-1 works due to the extremely porous characteristics of a naturally occurring mineral – diatomaceous earth. DIATOM -- Nature designed this tiny organism for efficient movement of water and air. Like a microscopic hard sponge, the diatom is 82% porous and is the key to adding permanent porosity to the soil.
HUALI Soil Amendment CD-1 is superior in reducing compaction thanks to its low bulk density, and has superior water absorption. It successfully moderates wet or dry moisture extremes, while simultaneously increasing aerobic capacity. Our product conforms to USGA particle size specifications and has negligible breakdown over repeated freeze and thaw cycles. HUALI Soil Amendment CD-1 outperforms all other soil amendments on a pound for pound basis due to larger internal pore space. HUALI Soil Amendment CD-1 allows you to water more deeply and less often, resulting in a significant new reduction in your irrigation requirments.
By controlling the infiltration of air and water in the root zones, HUALI Soil Amendment CD-1 can also help reduce problems such as fairy rings, wet or dry spots, and black layer. Due to its absorption capacity, HUALI Soil Amendment CD-1 keeps the greens firm and playable much sooner after heavy rainfall.
You can water more deeply and less often, and also make the most of any natural rainfall. HUALI Diatomite Soil Amendment CD-1 allows air and water to penetrate compacted clay soil and enables deep roots to grow.
HUALI Diatomite Soil Amendment CD-1 is applied at a rate of only 10% by volume, while other conditioners require 20% or more. Since HUALI Diatomite Soil Amendment CD-1 is more effective at improving playing conditions, you’ll need less conditioner to condition your Golf Course than other conditions.
Many golf courses also use HUALI Diatomite Soil Amendment CD-1 to treat walk-off areas, tees, and other turf areas subject to heavy foot and cart traffic.
