Calcium for the pod
Pegging zone Ca must stay above 500 ppm exchangeable for full pod development.

Peanut.
Calcium drives the pod.
Peanuts live or die on calcium. The pegging zone needs available Ca through pod fill, and base saturation in the 65–75% range. AgriTec partnered with Auburn University on documented peanut trials demonstrating the calcium-led program.
02 / The growth plan
From emergence to harvest: one plan, stage by stage.
The whole peanut season up top, then the general program below. Every pass is shown at the exact stage it targets, so the picture and the plan line up.
Read this first
This is a general roadmap, not an exact prescription for your farm. No two fields, soil tests, planting dates, or seasons line up the same way, so your stages, rates, and timing will differ. Treat the timeline below as the shape of the program; we size the exact stack and pin every pass to your soil test and your acres.
The plan, pass by pass, pinned to the stage it works
Each pass has a window. Hit it and it pays; miss it and the dollar's mostly spent.
-
Flower · Pegging PeggingAdvanced-Cal
3 gal/ac
Chelated Ca into the pegging zone, replacing roughly 1,250 lb of gypsum. Calcium has to be there while pods are setting, not before.
-
Flower · Pegging PeggingBoroLift
1 pt/ac
Foliar boron as pegs go down — boron moves the sugars that fill the pod, and deficient peanuts show hollow heart at grading.
- Pegging
YieldMaker
1 qt/ac
Micronutrient and kelp package through pod set, when peanut demand for micros is at its peak.
What's driving the response
Boron for the peg
Boron carries sugars to the developing peg and pod; deficiency shows up as hollow heart and poor kernel fill.
Micros at pegging
Peanuts respond strongly to micronutrients from flowering through pod set.
Sulfur for proteins
Pro-Sul supports oil + protein quality in the kernel.
