This past fall our team gathered again at HQ in Rocky Mount, NC to prepare for the upcoming Virtual Trade Show season. We spent a few days together preparing new tools for both end users and our distribution and dealer networks to gain a deeper understanding and training into our solutions.
Soil Solution
Enhanced Gypsum
General Details
NEW 70 SGN – High bulk density for easy spreadability!
Calcium sulfate (gypsum) is combined with thCa™, an organic complexing agent. thCa makes the calcium in VERDE-CAL G more readily available for soil or plant use without affecting or raising pH.
• 500 pounds will yield results equivalent to 1 ton of typical gypsum
• Leaches excessive amounts of sodium and magnesium from soil colloids
• Supplies calcium without raising pH
• Helps loosen compacted, heavy clay soils
• Supplies plant available sulfur in the sulfate form
• Improves soil aeration and water percolation
• Ideal for turf, shrubs, and flowers
• Quicker response at lower rates
• Requires 1/4 the rate of standard gypsum per application
Application Rates
For continued optimum growing conditions, apply VERDE-CAL G at 5 pounds per 1,000 ft2 or 220 pounds per acre (250 kg per hectare) monthly through the growing season, or as needed. Soil test recommendations should be followed.
To correct high sodium or magnesium levels or to loosen clay soils, apply VERDE-CAL G at 10 pounds per 1,000 ft2 or 435 pounds per acre (500 kg per hectare) once or twice per growing season, or as needed. A follow up soil test is recommended and reapply, if needed, at optimal growing condition rate.
To correct high sodium levels on Greens and Tees or when using effluent water, apply VERDE-CAL G at 8 pounds per 1,000 ft2 (400 kg per hectare) every month during the growing season.
Understanding thCa™
The Value of thCa™
– Allows you to apply 1/4 the product than typical Gypsum or Limestone products.
– Makes Calcium (Ca) available now when not 2 – 3 years from now.
– Goes into the soil to make bound-up, unavailable Calcium (Ca) available to the plant.
