About the Farm

A private farm in Izmir, Turkey, cultivating both lavender and vineyards, sought a comprehensive solution for their agricultural and facility needs.

Dual Challenge

The farm needed to address:

  • Limescale problems in irrigation systems
  • Photosynthesis inhibition caused by limescale cyanide
  • Protection of heating and cooling systems in farm buildings
Dual Protection

Results

Crop Benefits
  • No blockages in irrigation systems after Vulcan
  • Better processed photosynthesis (inhibited by limescale cyanide)
  • Plants could be fed more easily
  • Plant roots became stronger
  • Increased fertilizer and water utilization
  • Limescale stains on plants disappeared
Farm Building Benefits
  • Heating systems protected against limescale
  • Cooling systems protected against limescale
  • Equipment in main building protected
  • Technical buildings protected against lime and rust

The Science: Photosynthesis & Limescale Cyanide

Limescale in irrigation water can inhibit photosynthesis through the presence of limescale cyanide. By treating the water with Vulcan 550:

  • Photosynthesis is better processed
  • Plants can utilize nutrients more effectively
  • Stronger root systems develop
  • Fertilizer and water efficiency increases

Benefits for Agricultural Operations

Irrigation Reliability

No blockages in irrigation systems

Plant Health

Stronger roots, better feeding

Photosynthesis

Improved through limescale treatment

Building Protection

HVAC systems scale-free
