The scientific explanation.
Calcium is a required element for tuber development.
A calcium deficiency in plants results in dividing cells
being unable to stay bound together. This causes
poor quality potatoes such as reduced size,
growth cracks and hollow heart.
ENCOURAGE NANOCAL is a unique
formulation of calcium carbonate.
Typical calcium soil additives have particle sizes of up
to 200 microns, too big to be readily absorbed by roots.
NANOCAL is milled to less than one micron. This greatly
expands the calcium surface area, and allows an order
of magnitude more particles in solution, providing a
denser field of calcium particles for uptake.
Foliar-applied calcium does
not translocate to tubers.
The only efficient way to move calcium into developing
tubers is through root and tuber uptake. Soil-applied
NANOCAL's particle size allows immediate movement
into the meristematic region of growing roots.
Soil-applied NANOCAL calcium particles
are immediately available to developing tubers.
Benefits of improved calcium
uptake at tuber initiation include:
• Dramatic reduction in hollow heart
• Improved shelf life and storability
• Better uniformity at maturity
• Increased firmness
• Increased yield
