VERDE-CAL
Calcitic limestone combined with thCa™, an organic complexing agent, converts insoluble Calcium (Ca) compounds to soluble and available Calcium (Ca). This allows for greater delivery of Calcium (Ca) to the exchange sites on the soil colloid.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF USING VERDE-CAL
-
Reduces Hydrogen (H), Sodium (Na), and Chlorine (Cl) in the plant and soil.
-
Improves germination, stimulates root growth, and enhances microbial activity.
-
Increases essential nutrient absorption and translocation.
-
Improves soil structure (flocculation, water infiltration).
-
Supplies optimal Calcium (Ca) levels to plant cells to strengthen the plants resistance to disease.
-
Balances the Ca/N ratio in the plant.
-
Quicker response at lower rates. Requires 1/4 the rate of standard lime per application.

APPLICATION:
To maintain optimum pH and growing conditions, apply Verde-Cal at 5 pounds per 1,000 ft2 or 220 pounds per acre (250 kg per hectare) at least twice per growing season, or as needed. Soil test recommendations should be used to determine liming needs.
To adjust pH, apply Verde-Cal at 10 pounds per 1,000 ft2 or 435 pounds per acre (500 kg per hectare), or as needed. In most soils this will raise the soil pH up to one full point. Retest and reapply, if needed, at this rate.

Calcium Sulfate (gypsum) is combined with thCa™, an organic complexing agent. thCa™ makes the Calcium (Ca) in gypsum more readily available for soil or plant use without effecting or raising pH.
FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF USING VERDE-CAL G
-
Leaches excessive amounts of Sodium (Na) and Magnesium (Mg) from soil colloids.
-
Quicker response at lower rates.
-
Supplies Calcium (Ca) without raising pH.
-
Helps loosen compacted, heavy clay soils.
-
Supplies plant available Sulfur (S) in the sulfate form.
-
Improves soil aeration and water percolation.
-
Ideal for turf, shrubs, and flowers.

APPLICATION:
For continued optimum growing conditions, apply Verde-Cal G at 5 pounds per 1,000 ft2 or 220 pounds per acre (250 kg per hectare) monthly through the growing season, or as needed. Soil test recommendations should be followed.
To correct high sodium or magnesium levels or to loosen clay soils, apply Verde-Cal G at 10 pounds per 1,000 ft2 or 435 pounds per acre (500 kg per hectare) once or twice per growing season, or as needed. A follow up soil test is recommended and reapply, if needed, at optimal growing condition rate.
To correct high sodium levels on Greens and Tees or when using effluent water, apply Verde-Cal G at 8 pounds per 1,000 ft2 (400 kg per hectare) every month during the growing season.
