For treatment of Bitter Pit, Blossom End Rot, Albedo Breakdown, Tip Burn, and other Calcium deficiencies.NTS: Eez-Range

PRODUCT INFORMATION:

• FERT-CAL provides quick, efficient, safe, and cost-effective way of treating serious calcium deficiency disorders in most crops.
• FERT-CAL is totally Nitrate and Chloride free.
• FERT-CAL is an organic fertigation Calcium product.
• FERT-CAL is organic acid-chelate based.
• FERT-CAL has a formulation that facilitates efficient and prompt uptake as well as translocation in the plant tissue.
• FERT-CAL is an all-Australian product.

CALCIUM DEFICIENCIES:

• Are widespread.
• Are very common, even in soils that are very high in Calcium.
• Unlike Trace Elements, Calcium is a Major Element. To correct its deficiencies by foliar applications alone, many applications are required at high rates of application.
• May be the result of other nutritional imbalances, especially high levels of Nitrogen, Magnesium, & Phosphorus.
• Are difficult to treat using traditional soil Calcium fertilizer applications as Calcium Nitrate and Muriate add unwanted Nitrogen and Chloride, respectively.

PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH CALCIUM FERTILIZERS:

• Traditional Calcium fertilizers are salts of Nitrates and/or Chlorides. The former is inefficient; the latter is toxic as well as inefficient.
• Non-traditional Calcium fertilizers (such as Thio-sulphate) have a low concentration and are not cost effective.
• Value-added “micronized” Calcium products are indeed suspensions of insoluble Calcium carbonate (ie Lime) and/or Calcium Sulphate (ie Gypsum). Their insolubility makes them highly unavailable.
• Chelated (ie synthetic) forms do not easily release the Calcium to plants. They are also very expensive.
• Foliar Calcium applications alone are often not enough.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

FERT-CAL is suitable for all crops. The general rule of thumb is to apply it late and/or during periods of Calcium stress. The following is a guideline for some crop categories:

FERT-CAL IS A FERTIGATION PRODUCTION AND IS NOT SUITABLE FOR FOLIAR APPLICATION

Applications can be repeated monthly or as needed. For more specific rates, seek the advice of supplier and/or refer to soil/leaf data.

COMPATIBILITY:

FERT-CAL is compatible with most fertilizers and other soil-applied chemicals including Fulvic Acids. Incompatible with Phosphorus and Humic Acids. Check for compatibility before mixing.

PACKAGING:

Available in 10 kg units (in 10 Lt pails) or 20 kg units (in 20 Lt pails).
