NUE Cal-8 is a non-nitrogen, non-chloride form of foliar calcium with organic acids and other proprietary carbon based compounds, making NUE Cal-8 an effective carrier for other micronutrients. Cal-8 can be used as a foliar or water run source of calcium to help prevent and correct nutrient deficiencies that may limit crop growth and yields. Calcium is key to quality produce.
Information
NUE Cal-8 is a non-nitrogen, non-chloride form of foliar calcium with organic acids and other proprietary carbon based compounds, making NUE Cal-8 an effective carrier for other micronutrients. Cal-8 can be used as a foliar or water run source of calcium to help prevent and correct nutrient deficiencies that may limit crop growth and yields. Calcium is key to quality produce.
Benefits: Organic Acids improve uptake and translocation of calcium and other nutrients through a complex blend of sugars, carboxylic acid and other carbon compounds. Nutrients Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu are essential for maximum photosynthesis and a plants ability to create organic acids, acidifying the rhizosphere exactly where it’s needed.
Use Rate
NUE Cal-8 can be used on most crops where foliar or water run calcium applications are commonly used.
NUE Cal-8 can be applied by ground, air or through micro and overhead irrigation systems. Always use enough water for uniform application and to prevent possible plant tissue damage to the intended crop from concentrated droplets.
Optimum rate of application will vary between fields depending on soil and/or climatic conditions, stage of crop growth and size of plants.
Do not apply foliar applications of NUE Cal-8 under poor drying conditions or in excess heat. Dilute spray in at least 100 gallons per acre of water.
FOLIAR APPLICATION RATES
Field Crops: Apply 1 to 8 quarts per acre as a directed foliar spray during periods of rapid growth or nutritional demand once plants have reached 4-8 inches in height. NUE Cal-8 may be applied at 10 to 14 day intervals.
Vegetable Crops: Apply 1 to 8 quarts per acre. Apply NUE Cal-8 as needed throughout vegetative development and/or during rapid fruit growth.
Tree and Vine Crops: Apply 2 to 12 quarts per acre during
growing season. Applications during verasion should be limited to 2 qts/acre and used with appropriate adjuvant unless experience dictates otherwise. Repeat applications may be made in 10 to 21 day intervals.
Berry Crops: Apply 2 to 8 quarts per acre of NUE Cal-8 after active vegetative growth begins. Applications may be repeated in 7 to 14 day intervals.
FERTIGATION APPLICATION RATES
All Crops: Apply 4 to 12 quarts per acre once plants have an established root system. NUE Cal-8 may be applied through drip or overhead irrigation systems as required.
