Starter
Calcium correction
$24-34 per ac per yr- Pro-Cal rate set off CEC and calcium base saturation
- BioAct seed-applied biology
- Soil retest after harvest
Cotton that holds bolls.
Calcium and potassium availability set boll retention. Tissue tests at pinhead square and bloom drive the in-season call. Average lift on the Standard program is 110 lb lint per acre.
