Product Description

Calcium has been described as The Prince of Elements by leading soil scientists due to the significant roll it plays in plant and soil health. Its chemical, physical and biological effects in our environment means a continuous supply of calcium is needed for optimum health, yield and quality. Calcium is the main constituent of all cell walls and the transfer of materials in and out of cells. Plants deficient in calcium display symptoms such as stunted root system, leaves do not open properly, empty peanut shells, rot on tomatoes and capsicums, cavity spot in carrots, tip burn on strawberries, premature flower drop and poor seed set, susceptibility to rot disease, black heart in celery and internal browning in Brussels sprouts. These symptoms all relate to poor cell division in the plants growing points including the fruit.
