CARBO CAL

Description
Carbo Cal is a calcium and organic acid rich compound designed for both foliar and drip application. Despite calcium being a traditionally immobile ion, Carbo Cal is formulated with over 50 chelated organic acids, all available for rapid uptake and movement within the plant, improving structural strength, stability and quality. Carbo Cal provides superior calcium sap levels for fruit quality and disease resistance and contains no Nitrogen or Chloride. Carbo Cal includes a number of growth hormones, which aid flowering and increase general vigour of plants, without creating the vegetative flush created by Nitrogen. Carbo Cal is an effective source of calcium for plants.

Product Features

  • Carbo Cal provides readily absorbed root zone calcium when ground applied in dripper, trickle or irrigation injection.
  • Foliar applications are both safe and effective in supplementing plant requirements for calcium at peak usage times.

Function

Calcium is critical for. cell wall structure and strength; lending increased specific gravity; disease resistance and insect resistance. Post harvest damage can be minimised with sufficient use of calcium during the growing cycle. Shelf life will be increased with the correct use of Calcium as part of a balanced crop nutrition program.
