All of Lebanon Turf's Emerald True Foliar products are designed to produce excellent surface conditions - color, consistency, controlled growth, and turf quality - while also providing seaplant extract and other beneficial supplements for root growth, stress tolerance, and disease resistance.
True Foliar N-Ca (15-0-0) has been improved significantly. It has been redesigned to be more user-friendly and to be an easier addition to the Emerald Isle True Foliar Nutrition programs. It now mixes better with all other Emerald Isle True Foliars. It is also higher in nitrogen, which allows it to be substituted or alternated for True Foliar N in certain applications when used in the program. Finally, like all other Emerald Isle True Foliars, True Foliar N-Ca (15-0-0) now contains a minimum of 10% seaplant extract.
Calcium is an element required by the turf for cell division, as well as many very important cell functions. It a great supporting element, helping develop and move carbohydrates throughout the plant. Calcium is also critical in the absorption of other nutrients in the plant. Calcium is immobile in the plant and must be continuously supplied in order to help plants grow. Calcium is available in most soils, or as part of soil conditioners such as lime, dolomitic lime and gypsum.
Deficiencies tend to occur in sandy soils with low CEC and acidic or sodic soils. Where granular applications perform well, these are usually most cost effective in the spring or fall. However, in the summer months and where liming is not needed or is usually ineffective, a foliar application of calcium is recommended on a regular basis.
