Most Brazilian soils are characterized by their high acidity. This acidity, evident in the cerrado, imposes problems to the soil such as:

• Calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg) deficiency
• High content of toxic Aluminum (Al)
• Excessive toxic manganese (Mn)
• Phosphorus (P) fixation in a form that is poorly utilized by crops

This means that, in addition to making very important elements such as Ca and Mg unviable for the crops, the high toxic Al content does not allow the plant to develop its roots properly, leaving the roots confined to a small area, which is detrimental to the plant's growth. crop development.

With several units in the north of Minas Gerais, where this situation often occurs, the RIMA Group has developed FERTIRIMA, a soil improver for soils with high acidity.
