CalVantage

Product catalog summary
Product Overview:
Cal-Vantage is a sophisticated calcium formulation designed to enhance plant nutrition through a synergistic blend of ingredients including Calcium, Carbon, Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Boron. This product is particularly beneficial for turf management, providing a bioactive and available form of calcium along with boron to improve soil and plant health.
Manufacturing Process:
The production of Cal-Vantage involves a meticulous water purification process, including softening, deionization, and reverse osmosis, to ensure a pure medium for nutrient saturation. The ingredients are mixed through a 'stacking' process to maximize compatibility and nutrient availability, followed by micro-screening to ensure a non-plugging filtrate.
Key Ingredients and Benefits:
  • Calcium Complex: Includes four forms of calcium to enhance availability and microbial breakdown.
  • Humic and Fulvic Acids: Provide organic acids that stimulate soil fungi and chelate micro-nutrients.
  • Yucca Schidigera Extract: Improves water penetration and provides polysaccharides for soil micro-flora.
  • EW Mineral Plex: A blend of chelated trace minerals to enhance nutrient mobility.
  • Vitamin Complex: Includes vitamins C, E, B-complex, and B-12 to support plant health and soil biomass.
  • Boron: Essential for calcium release and plant sugar production.
Application Rates and Programs:
  • Greens & Tees: 2 oz. per 1000 sq. ft. weekly or 4 oz. bi-weekly, with increased rates for calcium-poor soils.
  • Fairways: 1.5 gallons per acre monthly, with increased rates for high sodium soils.
  • Sports Fields: Similar to fairways, with adjustments for sodium levels.
  • Ornamentals: 4 oz. per 2 gallons of water, diluted at least 50:1.
Cal-Vantage can be mixed with most turf products, but a bench test is recommended.
Conclusion:
Cal-Vantage is a comprehensive solution for enhancing soil and plant health, particularly in turf management, through its complex blend of nutrients and organic compounds.

CalVantage-1

Cal-Vantage is a breakthrough in calcium formulations. A Fivefold Matrix of plant food co-factors is included in this recipe, namely: Calcium, Carbon, Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Boron. When these ingredients are used synergistically as they are in Cal-Vantage, plant nutrition is addressed as it was meant to be. Unlike singular calcium products, chelated or not, Cal-Vantage provides ingredients that are associated with the uptake of plant foods. The result is a very bioactive and available form of calcium, in combination with an ample amount of plant available boron. There are very few soils found in the turf industry that will not benefit from the increased calcium mobility that a rich product like Cal-Vantage can provide. 4 Calcium Forms Boron Kelp Extracts Humic Acids The EarthWorks Process Manufacturing of the liquids involves first the availability of excellent water. We begin by softening the water, followed by deionization and finally reverse osmosis. The result is water that is absent of total dissolved solids, alkalinity, carbonates and conductivity. This allows for an aqueous medium that can be fully saturated with the diversity of ingredients that go into the Cal-Vantage formula. The recipe is then loaded through a process called “stacking”, which simply means using a formula that allows for ingredient compatibility by following a proper sequence of mixing, creating maximum saturation of the water by these nutrients. Finally, the products are micro-screened in order to create a non-plugging filtrate for trouble-free applications. The EarthWorks Liquid Organics are the most complex formulas available. They are developed to work synergistically with each other and with other nutrient based products. Used on a “small but frequent” basis, Cal-Vantage will become a staple in any turf management program. P.O. Box 278K 6574 S.

CalVantage-2

Cal-Vantage Calcium Complex TM Cal-Vantage includes four separate forms of calcium designed to improve availability and microbial breakdown and incorporates the highest quality raw materials available. The short carbon chains used in this formula and the longer carbons found in the humic and fulvic acids combine to provide a constant food source for microbes, encouraging greater availability of calcium. Few products on the market have been able to provide both calcium and boron in the same package. These two nutrients work synergistically in their ability to mobilize into the plant. Cal-Vantage...
