| Abstract/Contents: | "The product is called calcium magnesium acetate (CMA). CMA is a hard spherical pellet that is about as corrosive as drinking water. Once dissolved calcium and magnesium are absorbed by soil which can enhance soil structure by restoring soil porosity and aggregate stability...Since it has been shown that CMA does not effect plant growth, why not try CMA on ice covered turf to prevent suffocation? Research will be initiated at the Noer Facility this season to evaluate CMA as a possible ice remover." |
