Plant roots need oxygen to function.
Waterlogged soils occur due to heavy rainfall or bad irrigation techniques.
When rain guns are used on unstable soils, sand, silt or limestone, soils run together creating a seal that is impervious to oxygen and carbon dioxide.
In these cases, diffusion of gases through soil pores is so strongly inhibited that it fails to meet the needs of growing roots.
A slow oxygen influx was found to be the main reason of root injury.
Calcium Peroxide is a oxygen time release content to be mixed with soil for enhancing soil environment and accelerate plant growth.
Use of calcium peroxide significantly increased crop emergence, plant population and their dry matter production; reduced the weed growth significantly.
