Pro-Cal Soil Amendment: A Precise and Efficient Calcium Source for Soil Improvement
In comparison to traditional agricultural lime (ag-lime), Pro-Cal offers a reliable and effective solution for supplying calcium to the soil in a more precise and fast-acting manner.
Recent research conducted by leading agricultural universities has demonstrated that the conventional method of applying lime to the soil for calcium supply and pH adjustment may not be the most efficient approach. The slow breakdown of lime over months can result in insufficient calcium release into the soil, often failing to meet the soil's calcium requirements for achieving desired pH levels. In contrast, liquid calcium, such as Pro-Cal, offers superior speed and effectiveness due to the purification and separation of nutrients from non-pH-affecting substances like rock.
Pro-Cal serves as an essential initial step in soil treatment, preceding the application of fertilizers or planting of seeds. As approximately 95% of soils naturally possess low pH, raising the soil pH becomes crucial to mitigate issues such as fertilizer loss, nutrient immobilization, stunted growth, and reduced productivity. By promptly elevating the soil pH, Pro-Cal enables optimal nutrient utilization, promotes robust and lush plant growth, and prevents nutrient binding within the soil. Consequently, Pro-Cal not only provides an immediate pH increase comparable to lime but also sustains a neutral state, ensuring multiple growing seasons of efficient soil and high-quality production.
Calcium, being the most abundant essential nutrient required by the soil, should ideally occupy 60-75% of the soil's base saturation of cations. Deviating from this range can significantly impact plant growth and development.
Pro-Cal ensures both livestock safety and adherence to food-grade standards. Its compatibility with any sprayer facilitates convenient application in diverse agricultural settings. Furthermore, Pro-Cal exhibits an impressive soil life of 2-4 years, contributing to long-term soil enhancement and reducing the need for frequent reapplication.
In addition to its effectiveness, Pro-Cal also offers cost advantages over liquid lime, making it a more economical choice for farmers and growers seeking optimal soil health and crop productivity.
Selecting Pro-Cal Soil Amendment as your calcium source ensures precise and efficient calcium supply to your soil. With its proven effectiveness, livestock safety, food-grade quality, compatibility with various sprayers, extended soil life, and cost-effectiveness, Pro-Cal empowers farmers and growers to enhance soil quality, promote healthy plant growth, and increase agricultural productivity. Make an informed choice by incorporating Pro-Cal into your soil management practices and experience the tangible benefits it brings to your farming endeavors.
Pro-Cal® can be applied through standard ground or aerial application equipment, and through standard irrigation or fertigation systems. Pro-Cal® may be mixed with most herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and liquid fertilizers.
