Calcium 880Plus SDS

Organic Liquid Calcium 880 Fertilizer

Calcium is the most underestimated nutrient used in agriculture. Only nitrogen and potassium are required in larger amounts by plants.

Calcium 880Plus™ is a complex of Calcium carbonate and freshwater algae extract which can be used effectively in foliar applications and most irrigation systems. It contains a natural package of unicellular algae cell extracts to encourage biological activity in the plant. The algae cells act as a facilitator of mobility for the Calcium molecule in the plant and provide the fastest and most efficient assimilation of Calcium possible.

Calcium 880Plus™ is processed under pharmaceutical guidelines, providing for the highest quality Calcium available. The Calcium carbonate is mined and processed to a size of less than one micron. This extremely small particle size increases the surface area of Calcium when applied to a crop, helping to increase the rate and volume of assimilation, and the mobility of the Calcium once assimilated by the plant.

Calcium plays an active role in the uptake of water and nutrients by neutralizing organic acids in the plant. Deficiencies of Calcium cause well-documented fruit and vegetable disorders, such as bitter pit in apples, blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers, soft bottom in melons, and tip burn on lettuce. Calcium protects the plant by acting as a buffering agent against stress caused by soil toxicity or extremes of acidity or alkalinity.

Calcium 880Plus Features and Benefits

BENEFITS:

  • Increased uptake through plant cells and root system
  • User-friendly in most irrigation systems
  • Easily incorporated in all nutrient programs (some restrictions on mixing with phosphorous)
  • High corrective rates may be used with no detrimental risks
  • Economical application costs
  • Best management protocol for salts
  • Calcium is the only “counter” ion for sodium management
  • Excellent tool for soil reclamation
  • Improves soil porosity and stress tolerance
  • Increases nitrogen uptake (NH4)
  • Improves mobility through plant vascular systems
  • Prevents premature leaf loss (senescence)

FEATURES:

  • One micron or less particle size
  • High Calcium concentration (25% liquid formulation)
  • No limiting factors, i.e. sulfates/chlorides found in most other Calcium products
  • Processed under pharmaceutical guidelines
  • Stability in all soil types
  • Added algae extract
  • Mix compatibility
  • Low Salt index (5). As a comparison, Calcium nitrate has a salt index of 52.5
  • Highly soluble and mobile

Calcium Deficiencies to look out for:

  • Necrosis at the tips and margins of young leaves
  • Bulb and fruit abnormalities
  • Premature leaf loss
  • Deformation of affected leaves
  • Highly branched, short, brown root systems
  • Severely stunted growth
  • General chlorosis

What does Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus do for plants, and what deficiencies does it correct?

Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus supplies highly absorbable calcium to correct and prevent deficiencies such as blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers, bitter pit in apples, soft bottom in melons, tip burn on lettuce, necrotic leaf margins, stunted growth, and deformed leaves. Calcium also plays an active role in water and nutrient uptake by neutralizing organic acids in the plant, and acts as a buffering agent against stress from soil toxicity or pH extremes.

What makes Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus absorb faster than standard calcium fertilizers?

Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus combines sub-micron calcium carbonate particles (one micron or smaller) with freshwater unicellular algae cell extracts that act as a mobility facilitator for the calcium molecule inside the plant. The extremely small particle size increases surface area upon application, boosting the rate and volume of assimilation, while the algae extract encourages biological activity and improves movement through the plant's vascular system.

How much calcium does Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus contain, and what is the formula derived from?

Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus contains 25% calcium (Ca) by weight, derived from calcium carbonate. The formula also contains 25% algae extract as a non-plant-food ingredient that supports calcium mobility and biological activity in the plant.

Is Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus compatible with existing nutrient programs and irrigation systems?

Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus is designed to be user-friendly in most irrigation systems and can be incorporated into nearly all nutrient programs, with the noted restriction that mixing with phosphorous should be avoided. The product carries a low salt index of 5, compared to 52.5 for calcium nitrate, and contains no sulfates or chlorides that limit compatibility in many other calcium products.

Can Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus be used for foliar applications as well as root feeding?

Yes, Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus is effective in both foliar applications and most irrigation systems, making the product versatile for growers who want to address calcium deficiencies through multiple delivery methods. The highly soluble, sub-micron formulation supports rapid uptake whether applied to leaves or delivered through the root zone.

Is Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus suitable for soil and soilless growing environments?

Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus is formulated for use in both soil and soilless growing media. The product offers stability across all soil types and is also an effective tool for soil reclamation, improving soil porosity, managing sodium through calcium's role as a counter ion, and increasing nitrogen uptake.

Is Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus an organic product, and does it carry OMRI certification?

Ferticell Calcium 880 Plus is classified as an organic-based liquid nutrient, but the product does not carry OMRI certification. Growers requiring OMRI-listed inputs for certified organic production should verify compliance with their certifying agency before use.
