Limacelle
Limacelle contains a high concentration of micronized calcium carbonate in combination with fulvic acid, among others. Almost all crops will benefit from extra calcium during the growth phase. Calcium is an important component of cell walls and cell membranes, and determines the cell strength. Calcium is essential for cell elongation, hence it is a requirement for each step in plant growth. It also improves the absorption of other nutrients. Calcium also plays a major role in building brix levels in the plant.
Benefits Limacelle
- can be used as a supplement for calcium needy crops
- improves structure and machinability on clay soils
- provides readily available calcium in soils with excess of potassium and magnesium
- stimulates the micro life in the soil, which further improves absorption
- has a low pH effect. The soil pH will hardly rise in contrast to the use of calcium carbonate in a granular form
- makes applying smaller gifts spread out over the season possible. This is particularly important in light sandy soils with calcium deficiencies
- almost does not washout
- is easier to apply than a traditional calcium carbonate
Typical Analysis w/v
- Calcium (as carbonate) .............................. 93,7 g/L
- Magnesium .............................................. 10,5 g/L
- Conductivity ..................................... 4 - 15 mS/cm

Application Rates
Soil application: (maximum dilution 1:50) 3- 30 L per ha
Handling/manual
Stir or shake concentrate in bottle thoroughly before use. Then add an equal amount of water, to the container, using a a stirring device to prevent sediments. Use a maximum concentration of 1:50 to prevent clogging of filters. Limacelle leaves visible residue. Therefore it is recommended to always flush visually appealing products after usage.
Storage
Store in cool dry area out of direct sunlight. Store between 5°C-25°C. Do not pre-mix or store in a diluted form, use promptly.
