Cal Flow, calcium-based product

Calcium is an essential nutrient in the metabolism of plants, it´s lack causes a large number of physiopathies both in fruits and in leaves, stems and roots. But if it is as important as a nutrient for our crops, it is not less important if we bare in mind its function at soil level.

Calcium in the soil is found in many forms: oxalates, phosphates, carbonates, etc., but it only enters the plant as Ca++ ion, for this it must be found dissolved in the saturation extract. In addition, calcium plays a very important role in the clay-humic complex, increasing the cation exchange capacity and displacing toxic cations, such as sodium or aluminum. In turn, it is a flocculant element, improves the structure of the soil, facilitating oxygenation and root development.

The salts of which calcium is a part in the soil are usually insoluble or of very low solubility, so their passage to the saturation extract is very slow. Calcium applications in the form of sulfate (gypsum) or carbonate are not very effective, they must have a very fine particle size to facilitate their solubility and the doses to be used are usually very high.

Cal flow is a product based on calcium in the form of a concentrated suspension, whose salt has a particle size of less than 7 microns, which means that it offers a much larger surface area exposed to dissolution than conventional liming, so the speed of dissolution is 30 times higher.

With Cal flow we achieve more effective and efficient results, a much cheaper application, since it can be carried out through any fertirrigation system. Thanks to its easy dispersion in water, calcium can be located next to the root system, without the need for physical mixing with the soil.

With Cal flow everything is advantages.
