It did raise our calcium levels in the soil, but had no movement in acidity levels over two years at recommended rates. Visually improved hay fields, but not in soybean or corn fields on our soils in western PA.
I used this product and it did nothing for PH on my hay field. Talk to the farm extension and they told me this product was proven not to do what it said it would do and to not waste my money!
Liquid calcium is so expensive that the manufacturer/distributor gain profit. Agrilime is less expensive and proven to be effective at 2 months after applications.
IDK- kind of misleading, or the whole story isn't being told. Yes, calcium will help plants take up the nutrients in the soil. But pH also facilitates that. Calcium, by itself, has been said to do nothing in regards to pH. Calcium carbonate, or in another form (oxide, hydroxide or silicate) will raise pH. Calcium chloride adds calcium, but does nothing for pH. So if your soil is already calcium rich, but your pH is too high or low for the crop type you're planting, adding additional calcium shouldn't buy you much of anything.
I agree. Most soils are calcium deficient though. Here is the question. Is the ph the problem or a symptom? Perhaps there is low organic matter in the soil or some other issue.

You act like there's peer reviewed studies for everything and that that is a safe metric to follow. 😂
In cilli plants I can easily agree with you that the Ca is far more important than the Macro primary NPK
Has AgriTech done any research with Advanced Ca and Longleaf Pine?

Is this liquid calcium the same calcium that tractors have in their tires for weight?
No
can I in furrow this on soybeans?
Can you use calcium oxide?
Calcium chelate is what we use to raise pH.
Thank you
@@agritecintany other studies showing calcium ( oxide) moving pH other than ageitacint ?
This will not lower Ph only make Ca more accessible thus giving the illusion that it's doing something good.

Yeah, that's it's because it isn't lime. It's deionised calcium. Separated from the carbonate.
How about just growing grass like Bermuda?
Works great!
Great video...
Thank you!
So we no longer have to wait 6months-year for limestone to raise our pH!? Wow! That’s awesome
Calcium won’t do much for ph

@@Reutzel507 Because the liquid calcium is calcium deionised from the carbonate.
Where can one find this calcium ??
Make your own. Toast eggshells, crush and add to apple cider vinegar. Let sit for a week. Dilute with water. Easy.

Calcium nitrate. Or look for CalMag liquid plant food products .
@@laneeacannon1450 Calcium acetate?
@@pedclarkemobileNitrates tend to leach, probably best to apply little and often.

I use chelated calcium for foliar absorption and bypass any binding soil pH issues.

I wouldn't be adding quick lime, slaked lime or a cement. Sounds like you'd be making your soil very hard.
What's the fucking difference, but time.
Lack of a functional soil wont halp
