QUELANT-Ca
Calcium where you want it, when you want it.
Calcium is a critical element in the formation of plant cell walls. That is why adequate levels of available calcium help provide a strong turf that can stand up to heavy play and mechanical damage. Unfortunately, plant tissue can easily become calcium deficient, even in soils with adequate calcium levels.
Quelant-Ca is formulated with a balanced proportion of calcium and free amino acids to aid in the prompt absorption within the plant. With Quelant-Ca in your fertility program, you can quickly correct and maintain the calcium levels in your turf, even during times of plant stress.

-
Pharmaceutical grade manufacturing process guarantees consistent ratios of L-amino acids. Learn more about the manufacturing process.
-
Prevents and controls calcium deficiency to maintain leaf turgidity and quality
-
Tank mix compatible with most normally-used agrochemical products
-
Fortified with boron to maximize calcium utilization by the plant. Learn more about the technology.
Quelant-Ca Uptake Vs. Calcium Nitrate
Plant calcium concentrations following applications of Quelant-Ca at two rates (0.5 and 0.75 lbs calcium/Acre) and calcium nitrate (1.5 lbs calcium/Acre). Notice how the amino acid complexed calcium found in Quelant-Ca can be applied at lower rates, while increasing plant calcium levels beyond that of a higher rate of basic calcium nitrate.
Quelant-Ca Increases Calcium Concentration in Leaf Tissue
Figure 1
Figure 2
Tall fescue plants were treated with Quelant-Ca at the rate of 2.0 fl oz/1000 ft2 on 10 day intervals for a total of 4 applications. Untreated plants were used to compare levels of calcium throughout the study. Tissue samples were collected and analyzed 24 hours after initial applications, and 5 weeks after the final application.
At just 24 hours after initial applications of Quelant-Ca, calcium leaf concentrations increased 18% compared to the untreated control (Figure1.). Calcium concentrations continued to increase after each application, and remained much higher than the untreated control even 5 weeks after the final application (Figure 2.).
