The need for safe and environmentally friendly crop protection has never been greater.
By 2050, agricultural output will need to increase by 50 percent, on a finite land base, and against increasing restrictions and concerns over crop protection products. While the world has recently had a wake-up call over food shortages and climate change, reducing dependence on so-called hard chemicals is becoming increasingly important for the agriculture industry.
Your challenges
Existing chemicals and pesticides for agriculture are already in the process of being deregistered – especially in Europe – or regulations around when and how they can be used are becoming tighter.
These restrictions require farmers to look for innovative solutions to help them overcome pests and disease in their crops.
OUR SOLUTION
Calix has developed BOOSTER-Mag, an easy-to-apply foliar spray that acts as both fertiliser and stimulates a plants natural ability to fight disease and pests. It demonstrably provides a substantial safety, simplicity, sustainability and productivity benefit.

Biogas Management
Treating wastewater from industries and farms has a dual potential benefit. Treated water can be recycled to help cut down industries’ fresh water use, and the waste load in wastewater can be converted to biogas and used to produce electricity.
Anaerobic digestion is a natural process that converts organic matter present in wastewater sludge into biogas for electricity, as well as significantly reducing the contaminant load in treated water.
The energy produced from the biogas can be fed back into the grid or used in other parts of the production process, which represents a real opportunity to reduce energy costs.

Biogas Management
Calix ACTI-Mag can increase the quality and quantity of the biogas coming from anaerobic systems, and provide a significant economic boost for food processing plants.

FROM MINE TO CUSTOMER
Calix is able to offer better service, reliability and performance to its customers because it controls the entire production process from mining of raw materials, processing and production.
Calix owns and operates a mine in South Australia as well as production, testing facilities and manufacturing plants. The ability to hydrate our high surface area MgO in our patented, close-to customer facilities creates multiple benefits for our customers and local communities.
Our AS/NZS ISO 9001 certified quality system and safety, health and environmental management system are vital elements of our engineering and quality services.
FASTER REACTIVITY = COST SAVINGS
Calix’s solutions are manufactured using Calix Technology, which involves grinding minerals to particles around one thousandth of a millimetre in size, and then “flash” heating them in a very short time at up to 1.000 degrees Celsius. As trapped gases in the mineral “bubble out” of the particles, we snap freeze them in a very high energy state, leaving a very porous, honey-comb-like structure.
New materials produced by Calix Technology are proving to have similar properties to highly active nano-materials, without the safety concerns and high cost, but with all the benefits. This means it has the high reactivity of nano-material, without the potential health and handling issues.
HASSLE FREE DELIVERY, LOCAL SERVICE AND SUPPORT YOU CAN COUNT ON, WHEREVER YOU ARE LOCATED.
Calix has its own direct delivery, service and support capabilities and also has an established a network of local distributors and partners that can provide the best solution for your specific needs and ensure you receive excellent customer service and support.
Calix has unique potential to scale solutions to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Calix’s solutions for the Agriculture industry help us contribute to many global goals, particularly SDG 2 – ensuring sustainable seafood production systems and implement resilient aquaculture practices that increase productivity and production, help maintain ecosystems, and strengthen capacity for adaptation to climate change.
Our Sustainability Series dives deeper into each of these challenges and explains how Calix contributes.
