CalGuard™
Highly mobile liquid calcium
Product Description
CalGuard provides a form of calcium that is rapidly translocated into the fruit so that it can be most effective in preventing physiological disorders related to calcium deficiency. Since calcium is not mobile in plant phloem tissue, many calcium sources do not move into the fruit readily when they are applied as a foliar spray.
Features and Benefits
- Can prevent many common fruit quality problems: bitter pit in apples, blossom end rot in tomatoes, and others
- Builds strong cell walls
- Increases plant resistance to abiotic stressors
- Positively affects fruit set and formation
- Contains boron to help calcium mobility
Application Rates
- As a foliar or in fertigation: apply up to 1 gallon per acre at appropriate plant growth stages.
- As a soil drench or row starter: apply up to 2 gallons per acre at appropriate plant growth stages.
Always check the label on the product or consult your local AEA representative for more details.
