Organic Liquid Calcium 880 Fertilizer

Ferticel Calcium 880Plus is a complex of Calcium carbonate and freshwater algae extract which can be used effectively in foliar applications and most irrigation systems. It contains a natural package of unicellular algae cell extracts to encourage biological activity in the plant. The algae cells act as a facilitator of mobility for the Calcium molecule in the plant and provide the fastest and most efficient assimilation of Calcium possible.

Commercial Orders Only

Calcium 880Plus is processed under pharmaceutical guidelines, providing for the highest quality Calcium available. The Calcium carbonate is mined and processed to a size of less than one micron. This extremely small particle size increases the surface area of Calcium when applied to a crop, helping to increase the rate and volume of assimilation, and the mobility of the Calcium once assimilated by the plant.

Calcium is the most underestimated nutrient used in agriculture. Only nitrogen and potassium are required in larger amounts by plants, but Calcium plays an active role in the uptake of water and nutrients by neutralizing organic acids in the plant. Deficiencies of Calcium cause well-documented fruit and vegetable disorders, such as bitter pit in apples, blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers, soft bottom in melons, and tip burn on lettuce. Calcium protects the plant by acting as a buffering agent against stress caused by soil toxicity or extremes of acidity or alkalinity.

BENEFITS:

  • Increased uptake through plant cells and root system
  • User-friendly in most irrigation systems
  • Easily incorporated in all nutrient programs (some restrictions on mixing with phosphorous)
  • High corrective rates may be used with no detrimental risks
  • Economical application costs
  • Best management protocol for salts
  • Calcium is the only “counter” ion for sodium management
  • Excellent tool for soil reclamation
  • Improves soil porosity and stress tolerance
  • Increases nitrogen uptake (NH4)
  • Improves mobility through plant vascular systems
  • Prevents premature leaf loss (senescence)

FEATURES:

  • One micron or less particle size
  • High Calcium concentration (25% liquid formulation)
  • No limiting factors, i.e. sulfates/chlorides found in most other Calcium products
  • Processed under pharmaceutical guidelines
  • Stability in all soil types
  • Added algae extract
  • Mix compatibility
  • Low Salt index (5). As a comparison, Calcium nitrate has a salt index of 52.5
  • Highly soluble and mobile

Calcium Deficiencies to look out for:

  • Necrosis at the tips and margins of young leaves
  • Bulb and fruit abnormalities
  • Premature leaf loss
  • Deformation of affected leaves
  • Highly branched, short, brown root systems
  • Severely stunted growth
  • General chlorosis
