Coral Calcium

Calcium in the Soil

    · A calcium shortage restricts the growth of roots as well as that of stems, leaves and other parts.

    · The inability of calcium deficient roots to elongate rapidly handicaps the plant for exploiting new portions of the soil volume to obtain water and nutrients.

Calcium and Insects

    · Good available calcium plus good available phosphorus equals sugar. Sugar equals energy which in turn helps the biology of the soil, the roots, and the plant..

    · As the plant continues to build sugar insects will no longer view the plant as a food source.

    · Insects are born without a pancreas/liver and therefore cannot digest the sugar in a high brix crop. For that reason an insect would rather die than eat a healthy high sugar plant.
