Ca 9%

Ca 9% is a specially formulated liquid calcium product designed for in-season calcium supplementation. Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in the uptake of other minerals through the plant. It contributes to stalk strength and facilitates efficient water movement throughout the plant, enhancing overall plant health. Additionally, calcium aids in flocculating soils, which improves pore space and helps form stable soil aggregates, promoting better root growth and nutrient absorption.

The timing of Ca 9% application is critical, and sap analysis is the most accurate method to determine when calcium is needed. Years of sap analyses have indicated that calcium should be applied early and often to meet plant demands. While calcium, like any mineral, can be toxic to plants in excess, careful adherence to the product label ensures safe use. For optimal results, it is recommended to apply Ca 9% with boron, as calcium acts as a transport "truck" for minerals, while boron acts as the "driver" guiding them to their proper location within the plant. A jar test should always be performed before application. Ca 9% is versatile and can be applied via foliar spray, sidedress applications, or fertigation, making it suitable for various farming practices.
