Clean Green Liquid Calcium can dramatically increase your production of Corn, Beans ,small grains, pasture and hay.  Here is how we will do it. 

 

Corn, grains and Grass are  big Nitrogen user.  Normally these crops require 1 to 1 1/3 units of Nitrogen per bushel grown or tonnage grown.  But Nitrogen is a gas.  Even if you knife in liquid Nitrogen, half of it can wick off.  Should you have heavy rains, they will leach the nitrogen on down into the ground out of the root zone.  With granulated Nitrogen, the losses are even worse.  Granulated Nitrogen needs to be incorporated into the soil within 3 hours time.  If it lays on the ground for a week without rain, you can lose up to 90%.

 Clean Green Liquid Calcium makes Nitrogen 100% more effective.  We stabilize Nitrogen, so that you get practically no loss.  When you apply your liquid Nitrogen, mix in 3 gallons per acre of our Liquid Calcium.  Our Calcium MUST be put on with or before your Nitrogen to be effective.  Many of our customers find that when they put on 3 gal. of our Calcium, they can cut back the amount of Nitrogen they use per acre by 50%, using as little as ½ unit per bushel of corn grown, and actually have more  Nitrogen available to the plant than if they had put on a higher rate of Nitrogen without our Calcium. 

Calcium is the king of crop nutrients.  Our Liquid  Calcium is 100% soluble, plus it contains micro nutrients and simulators.  Our Liquid  Calcium will stabilize your Nitrogen.  It will keep it in the root zone and spoon feed it to the plant throughout the growing season.  When Calcium is flowing in the soil, all the nutrients will flow in the soil.  Calcium frees up other nutrients, making them available to the plant! 

Not only will you make your Nitrogen so much more available to the plant, but you will get the wonderful benefits of our Liquid Calcium.  Clean Green Liquid Calcium is approximately 300 times more available than gypsum or ag lime.  In field studies, putting on 3 gal. per acre of our Calcium has shown that it can do the following:

In Furrow 

Placing fertilizer in-furrow with the seed during planting is a common practice in small grain production and to some extent in row crop production. Placing fertilizer with the seed can be an effective and beneficial management practice, but over application and mismanagement can result in seedling damage, and ultimate stand and yield loss. The type of crop, fertilizer source, row spacing, and soil environment all affect how much fertilizer can be safely applied with seed.

Type of crop

Some crops are more susceptible to injury from in-furrow fertilization than others. Oil seed crops are particularly sensitive; therefore most guidelines allow no fertilizer placed with the seed of these crops. The general order of sensitively (most to least) among major Great Plains crops is soybeans > sorghum > corn > small grains, also hay and pasture.

Type of fertilizer

Fertilizers are salts, and these salts can affect the ability of the seedling to absorb water ... too much fertilizer (salt) and seedling desiccation or "burn" can occur. Some fertilizer materials have a higher salt index or burn potential than others. Salt index values are usually included in basic agronomic texts, or are available from fertilizer dealers or extension resources.

As a general rule, most common N and K fertilizers have higher salt indexes than P fertilizers; therefore, a common predictor for the potential for salt damage is the sum of N+K2O per acre applied with the seed. For example, most guidelines for corn in 30 inch rows will allow for no more than 10 lb/A of N+K2O in medium to fine textured soils - assuming no urea-containing products are used.

Ammonia formation potential of fertilizer

Fertilizers that have the potential to release free ammonia can cause ammonia toxicity to germinating seeds or young emerging seedlings. Thus, extra caution must be used with in-furrow placement of urea-containing fertilizers.

Hay , Pasture and Alfalfa and Bio-Activated Liquid Calcium

Texas Agricultural Extension, Texas, A & M University System.
“The increased ammonium absorption caused by calcium has interesting results. Photosynthesis
increases (Fig.1) and greater amounts of carbon dioxide are captured by the plant from the air,
which increases the plant’s organic building blocks (Fig. 2).
When plants absorb more ammonium, less nitrogen remains in the soil and is subject to leaching.
Also, surplus nitrogen absorbed by plants is stored and is available to promote growth all season.
In trials, both bermudagrass and ryegrass showed this effect, with denser growth and color (chlorophyll-photosynthesis) throughout the season.” 

Has research data changed recommendations for providing calcium?

By Glen Harris and John Beasley, University of Georgia, and Julie Howe, Auburn University

“Finally, over the last three years, a new technique of using liquid calcium chloride or calcium thiosulfate through the pivot during peak pod fill has been tested at UGA and has shown promise for providing calcium to the pegging zone. If gypsum becomes in short supply, this method may be a valuable alternative for calcium application. ...

“Putting these “liquid calciums” through a center pivot is a soil-applied application. When putting out that much water per acre, even though it hits the leaves initially, it basically runs off and is applied to the soil. Think of it this way, when you foliar feed, you apply approximately 10 gallons per acre final spray volume. When you apply one acre-inch, you are applying approximately 27,000 gallons of water – a huge difference.”

Regarding Plant Root Growth and Nutrient uptake resulting from Calcium Chloride Application. 

Ray E. Lamond and Dale F. Leikam, Chloride in Kansas: Plant, Soil, and Fertilizer Considerations, Kansas State University

“Chloride, an often-overlooked nutrient, is essential for plant growth. Deficiencies of this nutrient have been verified in Kansas. Chloride is essential for photosynthesis and serves other critical roles in plants. Plants take up chloride as the Cl- ion. This ion is very mobile in the soil and is subject to leaching. Soil testing and plant analyses have proven useful in identifying potential deficiencies of chloride. Recent Kansas research has verified a need for chloride fertilization on some soils. Chloride recommendations are based on soil test chloride levels. If supplemental chloride is needed, several sources of chloride fertilizers are available, but potassium chloride is the most readily available”

Texas A&M University Sam E. Feagley and Lloyd B. Fenn

“Roots can be killed, but usually they grow around the fertilizer bands. After the soil microbes have converted much of the banded ammonium to nitrate, then the roots can begin to use the nitrogen. When extra soluble calcium is applied with the fertilizer it lowers the pH of the fertilizer band, thus reducing its toxicity. If calcium is applied beyond precipitation requirements, it stimulates ammonium absorption by plants.”

Plant health and growth;

Dr. Easterwood is national agronomy manager at Hydro Agri North America, Inc., Tampa, Florida.

“Uptake can be enhanced by applying calcium in the soluble form (i.e., calcium nitrate or calcium chloride, either of which is immediately available for uptake). With many rapidly growing crops, insoluble sources will not provide adequate calcium fertility. Disease reduction Many fungi and bacteria invade and infect plant tissue by producing enzymes that dissolve the middle lamella. Enzymes responsible for dissolving the middle lamella include polyglacturonases and pectolytic enzymes such as pectate transeliminase.

Absorption of nutrients is vital to plant health and growth as we can read from;

Texas Agricultural Extension, Texas, A & M University System study.

“Calcium increases ammonium, potassium and phosphorus absorption, stimulates photosynthesis, and increases the size of sell-able plant parts. It also makes the use of nitrogen more efficient, which improves the economics of production and reduces nitrogen contamination of the environment.”

“Research has shown that applying soluble calcium with urea, an ammonium form of nitrogen, can improve crop production. Calcium increases ammonium, potassium and phosphorus absorption, stimulates photosynthesis, and increases the size of sellable plant parts. It also makes the use of nitrogen more efficient, which improves the economics of production and reduces nitrogen contamination of the environment.”
