Calcium Chelate
Correct calcium deficiencies with Calcium Chelate fertilizer—a fully EDTA-chelated, highly soluble micronutrient for foliar, soil, and hydroponic use
Overview
Calcium Chelate is an EDTA-chelated microgranule fertilizer containing 9.5% calcium, developed to correct calcium deficiencies in soil & crops and support crop quality. It is especially effective during rapid growth, flowering, and fruiting stages when calcium demand from plants is elevated.
This highly soluble micronutrient is suitable for foliar sprays, fertigation systems, hydroponic mixes, and soil applications. Compatible with phosphate-based fertilizers and most agrochemicals, Calcium Chelate fertilizer helps maintain calcium availability without displacing potassium or causing problems with tank mixes.

Foliar applications, soil applications and/or inclusion in a hydroponic program
Physically compatible in spray tanks with most agrochemicals

How Does It Work?
Calcium deficiency usually appears in the young leaves and near the growing points of stems and in the roots. The young leaves may be severely distorted with the tips hooked back and the margins curled backward or forward. The leaf margins may show brown scorching or spotting effects with spectacular die-back of stems near the growing points. These effects are most pronounced in tomato and celery crops. Calcium deficiencies normally appear during the rapid growing, flowering and/or fruiting stages. Blossom End Rot is one such example of a calcium deficiency. Calcium Chelate should be applied in multiple applications to help meet the plant’s calcium needs.
