What is QUELANT®-Ca foliar?
QUELANT-Ca is an amino acid chelated calcium product developed to correct calcium deficiency of turfgrass and other plants. The calcium chelated with amino acids in QUELANT-Ca is readily available and easily absorbed by the leaves and/or roots of the plant regardless of most environmental and soil conditions. The amino acids used not only increase absorption of calcium, but also enhance the translocation of this essential macronutrient to growing points of the plant. These biologically active, free L- amino acids also improve photosynthesis and offer maximum protection from stress.
Observations
QUELANT-Ca is environmentally safe and non-phytotoxic. It is tank mix compatible with normally used agrochemical products. Applied together, QUELANT-Ca improves the efficiency of these treatments by increasing their absorption and translocation within the plant.
Applications
QUELANT-Ca can be applied as a foliar spray or through fertigation. A faster response will be observed when QUELANT-Ca is foliar applied, but it is important to wet uniformly the entire leaf until runoff. This product should be used to prevent and control calcium deficiency in the plants and maintain turfgrass leaf turgidity and quality.
