About Concentrated Liquid Calcium

Calcium is critical in plant cell division and is regarded as one of the most needed elements. Foliar feeding specially formulated liquid calcium concentrate is both the most effective and least expensive means of delivering an adequate supply of calcium to plants. SUPER CAL 8 is water soluble, 100% chelated calcium compounds that are non-phytotoxic when used as directed. Immediately available to the leaf and readily absorbed by the root system via leaf stomata. SUPER CAL 8 contains no EDTA.

Experiments show that calcium, when bound to a protein called calmodulin, prompts plants to make salicylic acid (SA) when threatened by infection or other danger. SA is a close chemical relative of aspirin. In plants, SA acts as a signal molecule that kicks off a series of reactions that help defend against external threats.

That plants make salicylic acid has been known for more than 100 years, said B.W. Poovaiah, Regents Professor and director of the study, but the role of calcium in signaling a plant to make SA has not been known before.
