Efficient Delivery and Immediate Uptake
Ultra fine and highly reactive, Calcium 96 is a natural limestone powder that provides immediate availability of this valuable nutrient for plants and microflora. With a high neutralizing value, this solution grade powder can be applied at rates lower than typical Ag lime for fast soil pH changes. High quality calcium provides a myriad of benefits to plants, soils and soil biology. Designed for efficient delivery and immediate uptake, this 325 mesh powder can be used in drip irrigation or spray applications.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Make a concentrated solution by mixing the total weight of recommended Down To Earth Solution Grade Calcium 96 with water (do not exceed rate of 8 lbs per gallon). Mix this concentrated solution into the total volume of water necessary for coverage. Continued agitation is recommended to keep diluted solution in suspension. Most effective when applied to pre-wetted soils. Additional calcium may be required to overcome the acidifying effects of nitrogen fertilizers and/or to account for crop-specific calcium needs.
