Helping Crops Cope With The Next Heatwave: Nutrients
To maintain calcium flow in the plant in between fertigation cycles, consider foliar feeding with CalMax Ultra which actively moves calcium into cells through its pump primer technology.
Growers should also consider synergistically incorporating Kelpak into their nutrition plans via the drip to offer crops a biostimulant boost to combat stress placed on the plants.
