Hi, this is Kelly Garrett from Extreme Ag. I'm here with Jared Cook of calibrated agronomy, and Caitlyn put us in front of this tote right here
00:00:06
because this is exactly what we're gonna talk about. A question came into extreme ag asking how do I mix a 3% calcium product with my phosphorus?
00:00:16
As most people know, that can be a tough thing to figure out. Yeah. 'cause if you put calcium in with phosphorus,
00:00:22
you might end up with goop, whereas Matt Miles or Chad Henderson will tell you big old bunch of snot. Snot. But Jared Cook thinks that he has a few things to look
00:00:30
for in the products you should be using that can accomplish that mix. Yeah. So right outta the gate, the number one product
00:00:36
that can be used by any grower anywhere is calcium. EDTA. Calcium, EDTA is a fully chelated calcium, meaning calcium.
00:00:45
The, the reason calcium precipitates with phosphate is because calcium's positively charged. Right. Phosphorus is negatively charged like magnets.
00:00:52
They wanna attract, well, we can take a chelate like EDTA and totally wrap it around that calcium to where
00:01:00
EDTA satisfies the electrical charge of the calcium. Therefore, when you put calcium and phosphate in the same tank mix, there's no antagonism.
00:01:09
It's all, it's, it's eliminated. And so that's, that's one number one that growers can use as calcium EETA.
00:01:16
Probably the easiest, safest, most cost, afford cost, affordable method that you, you could use at the farm. It really does matter the quality of the products. Yeah.
00:01:24
And as a grower throughout, uh, history and things like that, trying different things in furrow on my farm or foliar, you
00:01:30
might end up with a problem all the time. We should always jar test our products. Yes. Always jar test our mixes.
00:01:34
But it doesn't really matter what company you buy it from. Just look at the quality of the product. Yep.
00:01:40
Make sure the calcium's EDTA. Yep. And you can put 'em both in fur that Rip. Absolutely. Because
00:01:44
Otherwise you're talking about a grower adding a pass, which we're not gonna do. No. We need to be able to accomplish this
00:01:49
and as as efficient of a manner as possible. EDTA helps us do that. Absolutely. Yep. There you go.
