Starter
Calcium correction
$18-28 per ac per yr- Pro-Cal rate set off CEC and calcium base saturation
- AERATE soil conditioner
- Forage analysis before and after
More tons per cutting on the same stand.
Calcium availability sets root mass. Biology drives stand density. Average lift across fescue, bermuda, and alfalfa stands is 0.6 tons per cutting on the Standard program.
