SiliCalMax™
A calcium and boron true solution with silicon to improve crop quality and reduce the impact of abiotic stress.
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS:
Calcium (Ca) 7.6%
Boron (B) 0.47%
Silicon (Si(OH)4) 2.75%
SUGGESTED FOLIAR RATES:
1.0-1.5 L/ac
A maximum of 8 applications per season.
SUGGESTED SOIL/FERTIGATION RATES:
1.0-3.0 L/ac
A maximum of 8 applications per season.
BENEFITS:
- Contains high-quality ingredients to deliver easily metabolized calcium to developing tissue.
- Silicon naturally fortifies the cuticular barrier to help prevent water loss and is important for structural support.
- Silicon is emerging as an important nutrient for improving crop tolerance to environmental stress.
- Formulated without sulfate, nitrate, or chloride counter ions for maximal crop safety.
- Tank mix compatible with most crop protection chemicals.
SILICON:
Several studies have demonstrated the positive effects of soil-applied silicon in potatoes.1-2 In general, crops treated with silicon resulted in larger, healthier tubers, particularly under drought conditions. It has also been shown that Si can improve nutrient use efficiency and increase overall tuber quality.
CALCIUM DEFICIENCY:
Because it is an immobile nutrient, calcium deficiency first appears in the tips of the new leaves. Symptoms include browning at the tips causing them to curl. Newly emerging leaves may stick together at the leaf margins, causing them to appear shredded.
