Growth Calcium X-tra is essential for healthy plant growth and crop production.

Calcium is a structural component of cell walls. Calcium ions affect permeability of the cell membrane, are involved in energy transfers in carbohydrates, affect the activities of some enzymes and prevent the accumulation of organic acids by forming slats, soaps and other compounds.

A deficiency in Calcium results in retarded root and shoot development. Young leaves tend to remain folded and growing points die back. Conditions such as leaf tip hooking in beet and brassicas, petiole break in clover and white tip of cereals are typical of Calcium deficiency. Fruit quality may be impaired, especially in Tomatoes, apples and peanuts

Calcium X-tra is a biological stimulator solution blended with Boric Acid and specific organic complexors to provide a lower pH Boron source with superior uptake. This means that Calcium X-tra is effective at very low rates.

Calcium X-tra is highly compatible with most pesticides and fertilizers. Its 'low use rates' allow growers to use fewer litres, making applications faster and more economical.

 Advantages of Calcium X-tra

• Readily absorbed and utilised by the plant
• Ideal for foliar or soil application
• Low use rates
• Highly compatable
• Economical

Calcium X-tra Application Rates

	Crop		Rate L/Ha		Critical Comments
	Field Crops, Cotton and Peanuts		0.6 to 4		Apply as a foliar spray to supplement nutritional requirements of the crop. Alternatively apply to the soil at planting.
	Tree Crops and Vine Crops		0.6 to 4
	General Instructions:  Growth Calcium X-tra is designed as a foliar spray for cotton, vegetables, vines, trees and other crops, which require supplemental Calcium .  It may also be used as a soil applied product. Growth Calcium Xtra contains Calcium in amounts which could be excessive for some crops.  For further advice contact GROWTH agriculture on FREECALL 1800 440438. Compatibility: Growth Calcium X-Tra mixes well with most spray chemicals, but ALWAYS TEST FOR COMPATIBILITY FIRST.
	Application: When applying by ground sprayers, use with a minimum of 100 L of water per ha.  When used in an aerial application use at least 30 L of water per ha.
	STORAGE AND DISPOSAL: Store in the closed original container in a cool, well ventilated area.  DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.  DO NOT store material that has been mixed with water – it will not keep. Triple or preferable pressure rinse containers before disposal.  Add rinsings to the spray tank.  DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site.  If recycling replace cap and return containers to  recycler or designated collection point.  If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill.  If not available bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetable and tree roots.  Empty containers should not be burnt. SAFETY DIRECTIONS: Wash hands after use. FIRST AID: If poisoning occurs contact a Doctor or Poisons Information Centre (131126).
