This 100% pure food-grade 50% citric acid solution (10 liters) offers versatile applications in agriculture. Its primary use is pH adjustment for irrigation water, crucial for optimal plant health and nutrient uptake. Alkaline water and soil conditions, common in agriculture, hinder microbial activity and nutrient availability (e.g., iron). Citric acid effectively removes scale build-up caused by calcium carbonate (lime) and magnesium precipitation, improving irrigation system efficiency. A pH of 7.5 or higher, combined with bicarbonate levels exceeding 100 ppm, often indicates a need for this treatment. The required amount depends on initial water pH and hardness (calcium and magnesium content). Most organic sprays require a pH around 6.5 for maximum effectiveness, a level easily achieved with this concentrated solution (pH 2.2).
Beyond irrigation, this 50% citric acid solution is also effective for cleaning pipes clogged by calcium and magnesium deposits. It's compatible with most agricultural fertilizers and, when diluted, acts as a natural fungistat, protecting fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants from fungal diseases. Preventative application during periods of high disease risk strengthens plant defenses, increasing resistance to pests and fungi.
While generally non-corrosive (except on corrosion-prone materials), use a pH meter during application. Apply after filtration.
