Soil Restoration - Improves Soil pH levels

Our Egg-Cellent Calcium helps with the balance of the pH levels of the soil. Adding Egg-Cellent Calcium helps to restore the soil's pH balance that stimulates plant growth and increases soil fertility.

 

In low pH soils, calcium can help to counter the negative effect of aluminum on root growth and help re-adjust the pH. Similarly, applied on soils with salinity issues alongside humic and kelp, calcium helps displace sodium to restore the uncropped areas of the field and put them back into production

Nitrogen for the Stimulation of Photosynthesis 

Calcium contains Nitrogen , which is a vital component within the photosynthesis process. Nitrogen within Calcium can regulate the transcription and translation of genes that encode chloroplast proteins and enzymes, which are involved in the reactions of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the most extensive and important biosynthesis process on Earth, and it occurs in chloroplasts.

Nitrogen is also a component of the chlorophyll molecule, which enables the plant to capture sunlight energy by photosynthesis, driving plant growth and grain yield. Nitrogen plays a critical role within the plant to ensure energy is available when and where the plant needs it to optimize yield.

Promotes Vigorous Root Growth and Stimulating Plant Growth

Calcium is one of the main components of the plants cell wall. Promoting vigorous roots, stronger stems, better nodulation, healthier tissues in leaves, flowers and fruits.

 

Calcium increases ammoni- um, potassium and phosphorus absorption, stimulates photosynthesis, and increases the size of sellable plant parts. It also makes the use of nitrogen more efficient, which improves the economics of production and reduces nitrogen contamination of the environment.

Germination of seeds

Calcium can improve the quality of seedling germination period. Calcium carbonate, which is one of the most essential nutrients for thriving plants. As Egg-Cellent Calcium break down, it enriches the soil with calcium and nitrogen, which the plant's roots will absorb and put to use as it grows.

 

Our product that contains a large amount of calcium carbonate and other nutrition that is perfect to use as a seed starters, and when plant needs to be transplanted into soil, they break down naturally and nourish your garden.

Improves water penetration

There is an improvement in water use efficiency. Twenty-five to 100% more water is available in calcium treated soils versus untreated soils.  

 

Since calcium assists in increasing water penetration in soils, it is important to consider its application during drought conditions.

Increase Soil fertility 

Calcium contributes to soil fertility by helping maintain a flocculated clay and therefore with good aeration.

 

Soil structure and water holding capacity are improved if the amount of exchangeable sodium (ESP) is kept below 5% of the cation exchange capacity of the soil

Prevention of Blossom end Rot - BER

Blossom end rot is caused by two things: a lack of calcium and inconsistent watering. While the best cure to blossom end rot is prevention, it can be reversed once it's started

Fruits with BER will develop black spots on the ends of their fruit.

 

Due to deficiency of calcium, several physiological disorders occur in plants like tip born (Cabbage and Lettuce), cavity spot (Carrot), stunted growth (Celery) and blossom end rot (Tomatoes and Peppers).  Excellent Calcium present healthy balanced calcium, due to its trace amounts of other minerals it is probably the best natural source of calcium.

Disease Resistance

Calcium carbonate is used to help prevent the spread of various diseases, such as powdery mildew, black spot, and blossom end rot. Other benefits of calcium include protection from heat stress.

 

Adequate nutrition plays a major role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and the micronutrients of greatest importance are calcium and vitamin D.

 

Calcium contains a variety of nutrients that reduces the risk of the following vegetable diseases 

Tip born - Cabbage and Lettuce

Cavity spot - Carrot

Stunted growth - Celery

Blossom end rot - Tomatoes and Pepper

Advanced flowering and Fruit growth

Calcium and potassium are vital nutrients to soil. Fast-growing plants deplete the soil of calcium very quickly, so giving them a source of new calcium helps for advanced flowering and fruit growth.

 

Calcium plays a vital role in fruit production. It improves tree health and improves fruit storability and shelf life. Calcium is also important to cell health and cell wall strength — both of which improve fruit quality.

Healthier plants and Leaves 

Calcium is essential for a healthy plant structure as it helps to form new cell walls and membranes. It also gives stability to existing cell structures, forming compounds and binding agents to give stability to cell walls.

 

Calcium is essential for root health, growth of new roots and root hairs, and the development of leaves.

 

Symptoms of calcium deficiency first appear on younger leaves and tissues, growth is inhibited, and plants have a bushy appearance. The youngest leaves are usually small and misshapen with brown chlorotic spots developing along the margins, which spread to eventually unite in the center of the leaves.

Improves Cellular wall structure and the plants Membrane function

Plants need calcium for cell wall development and growth as well as root tips. Pathogens attack weak cell walls to invade a plant, and stronger cell wall structure avoids this.

 

Plants need calcium for enzyme activity, metabolism (increases metabolic functions), and for nitrate (a useable form of nitrogen) uptake. Calcium and phosphorus are often found together. Plants need phosphorus to grow strong and healthy, for moisture regulation, photosynthesis, respiration, and metabolism.

 

Calcium attaches to the walls of plant tissues, stabilizing the cell wall and favoring cell wall formation.

Micro and Macro Nutrient intake

Macronutrients include nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg), carbon (C), oxygen (O), hydrogen (H)

 

Micronutrients (or trace minerals) are iron (Fe), boron (B), chlorine (Cl), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni) 

 

A plant uses these nutrients to support its growth, life cycle, and biological functions.
