Calcium

Maintaining proper calcium levels throughout the entirety of a season is critical to crop yield. Since calcium is immobile, symptoms of calcium deficiency show up first in newer growth. Taking a comparative sap analysis of your plant can help illustrate how calcium levels are changing. This allows you to find gaps in fertilizer applications, regulate balancing with other nutrients, or identify slow root growth preventing the plant from uptaking enough.

Monitoring the ratio between calcium and potassium is also vital. It ensures plants are utilizing their calcium concentrations properly, so we include a K/Ca statistic along with our tests to highlight if your plants are maintaining a healthy balance.
