DESCRIPTION:
This fertilizer contains CAL-STAR™, a homogenous combination of pelletized hi-calcium lime and 100% soluble humic, which quickly neutralizes pH in acid soils and activates numerous valuable biological and environmental responses in the plant and soil.
Benefits of CAL-STAR™
• Neutralizes acidic soil leading to optimum turf growth and the reduction of conditions that favor moss, bare spots and certain weed species
• Increases nutrient availability and efficient use of applied and soil stored nutrients
• Prevents nutrients from leaching out of the soil
• Improves soil structure and promotes an environment for root growth
• Activates soil microorganisms which more efficiently breakdown organic matter
• Breaks up compacted soils (aerates the soil from the inside), allowing for enhanced water penetration and improved root growth and development
• Increases the organic matter in deficient soils
This fertilizer also contains XCU® slow-release fertilizer technology. XCU® slow-release fertilizer is unique to the market and provides gradual, steady nutritional uptake for up to 10 weeks of plant response. XCU® fertilizer has a high nitrogen (N) content (43%) with the unique addition of sulfur (4%), which provides added nutrition to the plant and can amend the soil. The value of a slow-release fertilizer like XCU is that more area can be covered per application using less fertilizer, which is more efficient and economical. Also, with less N lock-off, more of the applied N is taken up and utilized by turfgrass or plants in the desired time frame.
