What are the benefits of liquid fertilizer?
Michigan State University performed 30 years of research on the effects of liquid fertilizer and granular fertilizer. They found that only 20% of granular fertilizer makes it into the plant. In contrast, 95% of foliar liquid fertilizers make it into the plant. There will be 4.5 times more nutrie
What are the benefits of liquid fertilizer?
Michigan State University performed 30 years of research on the effects of liquid fertilizer and granular fertilizer. They found that only 20% of granular fertilizer makes it into the plant. In contrast, 95% of foliar liquid fertilizers make it into the plant. There will be 4.5 times more nutrients available to the plant in 100lbs of liquid than 100lbs of the same analysis in a dry fertilizer material.
Six gallons per acre of a 10-20-10 liquid plant food weighing 11.4 pounds per gallon will weigh about 68 pounds. Assuming an availability of 90%, the plant would receive about 61 pounds of fertilizer per acre. Further breaking this down in terms of N, P, and K, the plant should receive and use 6.1 pounds of nitrogen (10% N), 12.2 pounds of phosphorus (20%), and 6.1 pounds of potash (10% K).
As noted from the above calculations, six gallons of liquid fertilizer would provide as much nutrition to the plant as 300 pounds of dry fertilizer.
“We apply fertilizer nutrient materials to the above ground growing portion of the plant. We have seen that materials are absorbed by the plant and move rather freely in the plant. The amounts may at first seem relatively small, but to offset this handicap, the efficiency is high. In fact, this is the most efficient method of applying fertilizer to the plants that we have yet discovered.”

How does liquid calcium affect pH?
One of the biggest factors that impacts plant productivity is having nutrient-rich soil. Soil with lots of hydrogen will naturally be more acidic. Acidic soil prevents nutrients from going into the plant and thereby decreases plant productivity.

How does liquid calcium affect pH?
One of the biggest factors that impacts plant productivity is having nutrient-rich soil. Soil with lots of hydrogen will naturally be more acidic. Acidic soil prevents nutrients from going into the plant and thereby decreases plant productivity.
To combat this, liquid calcium actually displaces, or moves, the hydrogen out of the way, allowing more nutrients to enter the plant. As the hydrogen is getting displaced, it causes the pH of the soil to increase, making it less acidic. As pH increases, so does plant productivity.
