Enhanced Lime and Gypsum for Annuals, Perennials, Bulbs, Vines, Ornamental Grasses, Trees, Shrubs, Groundcovers, and Vegetables



## Why Verde-Cal?


	

- Improves hardening off of transplants	

- Improves/maximizes fertility, especially N-P-K	

- Plants in sellable condition faster

## Verde-Cal G - Enhanced Gypsum with thCa™


	

- 100% Available Calcium	

- Will not alter soil or growing media pH	

- Contains Sulfur for acid loving plants	

- Very soluble Calcium Sulfate	

- Clean, uniform particle sizes	

- Can be mechanically incorporated into growing media or applied over-the-top	

- Results are four times more effective than typical gypsum applications	

- Extremely effective on leaching Sodium/salts	

- An excellent Calcium source	

- Builds tough cell walls that makes plant hardier and stronger

## Verde-Cal - Enhanced Calcitic Limestone with thCa™


	

- 100% Available Calcium	

- Extremely effective for maintaining or raising pH	

- Very soluble Calcium source	

- Clean, uniform particle sizes	

- Can be mechanically incorporated into growing media or applied over-the-top	

- Results are four times more effective than typical limestone applications	

- An excellent Calcium source	

- Builds extremely tough cell walls that makes plants hardier and stronger

## thCa™ Advantage


	

- Organic acid used to sequester unavailable Calcium already in the soil and converts it to be available for the soil or plant to use	

- Penetrates the soil profile	

- Stimulates the plant growth	

- Stimulates rooting	

- Allows complete conditioning of the soil profile
