Calfite Extra is a unique foliar nutrient complex designed to improve crop rooting and maximise nutrient uptake and utilisation from the soil.
Calfite Extra improves the crop’s phosphorus use efficiency, delivering calcium through the leaf into the plant.
What does it do?
This true biostimulant delivers a multitude of effects depending upon dose, timing, programme and crop species and provides efficient foliar delivery of phosphorus and calcium fertiliser. It contains 19%v P2O5 and 11% Ca based on the phosphite form of P.
It has the lowest salt index of all phosphites, making it the safest formulation, while its formulation stablises the phosphite, preventing oxidation to phosphate.
Includes L-PGA to enhance optimum nutrient use efficiency.
How does it do it?
The phosphite component tricks the plant into thinking that it’s in a phosphorus deficiency situation, so the plant responds by increasing root length, biomass and activity (exudation).
