Bio-Cal® is the go-to product for growers looking to increase their nutrient availability, offering unique sources of calcium that improves plant availability and uptake, reduces compaction, and boosts crop profitability.
Bio-Cal is a proprietary calcium-based soil amendment. Formulated with five calcium sources that range from soluble to time-released. Bio-Cal provides highly reactive, readily available calcium. Bio-Cal acts as a catalyst in soil fertility programs, helping to mobilize nutrients, unlock soil potential and promote healthier and stronger crops.
Bio-Cal Decreased Spring Soil Compaction in Multi-Year No-Till Corn/Soy Trials – South Eastern MN
- Spring soil compaction was reduced 19% (44 PSI) with the application of Bio-Cal.
- Data was collected on multi-year Bio-Cal trials with EarthOptics soil penetrometer readings.
Product Characteristics
- More Plant Available Calcium
- Bio-Cal provides higher levels of soluble calcium than many other products. Bio-Cal has 150 pounds of soluble calcium per ton while materials such as dolomitic and calcitic lime have varying amounts of soluble calcium, often as little as 1-2 pounds per ton.
- Better Plant Health
- For years, farmers have known calcium helps raise healthy, quality crops. Recent research supports this and has identified calcium as a key requirement for maintaining macro and micro nutrient availability in the soil and plant.
- A Better Calcium Source
- Multiple forms of calcium are present in Bio-Cal, providing both highly available and slow-release calcium. These include calcium oxide and calcium carbonate.
- Easy to Spread
- Bio-Cal is specially formulated for easy application.
- High Quality
- We routinely test to ensure materials used in Bio-Cal are free of contaminates. For more than 15 years, Bio-Cal has met or exceed government standards for heavy metals and organic toxins.
