Calcynox in agriculture
Liming is a common agricultural practice that increases soil alkalinity and mitigates the negative effects of acidic soils. Our technology related to liming provides an unparalleled, think-outside-the-box solution. Our patented innovative solution offers not just cure for soil acidification, but a precise approach to alkalinization in agriculture, ensuring we deliver the results farmers seek. Calcynox is an advanced method in regenerative agriculture, consisting of a unique blend of a specialized lime compound and Ensynox—an organic enzyme derived from a specific combination of selected earthworms. This distinctive combination allows for the gradual release of active agents, such as calcium, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, and a small amount of oxygen, over a defined period. Applying Calcynox just once can satisfy the soil's requirements for an extended time, resulting in well-balanced soil. The Calcynox formula is designed as a time-released material, ensuring active agents are released gradually and intelligently, providing an effective liming solution.
The formula is a selectively absorbent and temporarily hydrophobic enzymatic bioremediation agent. We combine different formulas that lose their hydrophobic properties at various times and rates. This process releases active agents, like medication capsules, that improve the soil's chemistry.
During the production process, micro amounts of air are incorporated into the formula when the particles are formulated. As the particles begin to lose their hydrophobic properties, the air is released into the soil.
Why soil acidification matters?
Soil acidification is not a side effect. It’s a system collapse in slow motion.
We’ve been taught that nitrogen fertilizers are the backbone of food security.
But what if the very input meant to grow life is silently killing the system that sustains it?
Not to defend a position. But to reveal a pattern that too many are ignoring:
➤Soil pH is crashing. Yields may look stable—for now—but the biological engine beneath is breaking.
We’ve been taught, the soil’s pH is lowering, as a side effect, resulting in acidic environment, because of the overuse of synthetic chemicals, fertilizers.
Well, it is more than that. An acidic environment does not favor any form of life.
I mean, good bacteria decline, bad bacteria thrive. It is a system collapse of sustainable life.
It says, there is a huge need globally of applications of effective
alkalinizing agents which may provide multiple benefits to the soil.
Let us show you the science:
➤ In long-term trials, high nitrogen use has dropped soil pH from ~7.2 to 6.25 in just 13 years.
➤ That drop doesn’t just shift chemistry—it triggers microbial collapse, phosphorus lock-up, and aluminum toxicity.
➤ Microbial diversity—the immune system of soil—is the first casualty, reducing nutrient cycling, organic matter turnover, and disease suppression.
Even resilient crops like tea are stunted in soils that fall below pH 3.0.
Still think it’s just “low pH”?
Take a look at this figure on the right (2023 study):
➤Panel (a) shows that declining pH correlates directly with higher disease severity and weaker roots.
➤ Panel (b) confirms that pH is the strongest predictor of plant disease, above even nitrate or potassium levels.
➤ Panels (e–h) prove that functional gene abundance and microbial diversity collapse as pH falls below 5.5.
➤This is not about attacking fertilizer. It’s about challenging the illusion that more input = more life.
Are we still measuring success by yield… while our soils scream in silence?
This isn’t just a technical failure—it’s a philosophical failure of how we define productivity.
Because in soil science, the most dangerous erosion isn’t from wind or water.
It’s from our unwillingness to think critically about what we apply and what the soil absorbs.

Helping climate goals
Calcynox supports carbon sequestration, utilization, and storage in the soil (CCUS). Calcium plays a crucial role in photosynthesis and the carbon cycle, which means that Calcynox can significantly contribute to combating climate change. Scientific research demonstrates limestone's capability to sequester and store carbon, helping to build a balanced soil carbon environment. As a result, farmers and stakeholders in agriculture can earn additional revenue through participation in the Carbon Market.
Benefits of Calcynox
Calcium helps balance the soil pH and counteract acidification, which can be caused by excessive fertilization and chemical applications.
Calcynox (Cx) a temporarily hydrophobic substance, helps stabilize the soil by repelling water and aerating the soil.
This helps prevent erosion and provides plants with the necessary calcium, which is essential for photosynthesis.
