Cal-Tech™-Amino-Chelated Liquid Calcium (with boron)

Calcium is the trucker of all minerals and boron is the steering wheel.

A liquid calcium product, combining enhanced absorption capacity and bio-stimulation with the highest percentage of chelated calcium in ionic form ever achieved! Cal-Tech™ is chelated with 17 amino acids. Boron, a proven calcium synergist, is also included in the formulation, along with nitrogen, 60 trace elements, 5 natural growth hormones and vitamin B12 (a growth stimulant that has been shown to increase calcium uptake and bio-availability).

Packaging.

  • 1 litre (1.32kg), 5 litre (6.45kg), 20 litre (26.2kg), 200 litre (270kg), 1000 litre (1315kg).
    Weight per Volume: 1.25

Information:

  • Calcium is the single most important nutrient in high-production agriculture and Cal-Tech™ provides a rapidly absorbed, chelated liquid calcium.
  • Calcium and boron are synergists and part of The Big Four, ie: four elements that should always be maintained at luxury levels within the plant.
  • Boron is directly involved in the translocation of sugars from the leaf to the roots. Half of these sugars are exuded into the root zone to feed beneficial microorganisms, ie. boron has a direct biological link.
  • Best results are achieved from well-timed, multiple applications. In this context, all crops respond to calcium supplementation during the crop cycle.

Application Rates:

  • Foliar:
    Hand-gun or spot-spraying: 750ml -1 litre per 100 litres (ie 1:100 - 1:150).
    Knapsack: 75 - 100 ml per 10 litres (ie 1:100 - 1:150).
  • Orchards/vineyards:
    5 litres per hectare (minimum dilution 1:150)
  • Boom-spray horticulture:
    Requires 750 ml - 1 litre per 100 litres (ie 1:100 - 1:150)
  • Boom-spray broadacre:
    Requires 500 ml per 50-100 litres per hectare.

Note:

  • Should not be mixed with phosphate or sulfate-based fertilisers without a compatibility test.
  • Must be given a good shake or stir to ensure even consistency.

This record lucerne crop was grown in Queensland using soluble calcium and boron as the key inputs.
