Calcium Thiosulfate liquid fertiliser

Calcium Thiosulfate is a neutral to basic, chloride-free, clear solution, containing 6 % calcium and 10 % sulfur. A liter of CaTs contains 75 grams of calcium (Ca) and 125 grams of S in the thiosulfate form (thiosulfate sulfur). CaTs may be applied by drip, micro-sprinkler, sprinkler, flood irrigation, pivot system, surface broadcast, banded or watered in. It may be blended with other fertilizers, or applied as a foliar treatment on selected crops. When used as a foliar fertilizer, CaTs should first be diluted with water before applying.

CaTs may be applied to a wide variety of crops. The calcium requirement for most crops increases during periods of rapid growth and early fruit development. CaTs is an effective water-soluble source of calcium and thiosulfate sulfur which aids in the correction of these nutrient deficiencies in crops.

CaTs may be used as a fertilizer and as a soil amendment. As a soil amendment, CaTs may be used to improve water infiltration and aid in the leaching of harmful soil salts.

BENEFITS OF CATS

• Improves firmness of fruits and vegetables

• Improves cell structure and plant strength

• Increases yield and shelf life

• Reduces bruising

• Balances the soil allowing better water infiltration

• Solubilizes soil nutrients (calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and manganese)

• Leaches out harmful salts

Liquid fertilizer benefits

• Easy to handle and safe to use

• Cost effective with uniform field application

• Fully compatible with irrigation systems and sprayers

• Reduced environmental impact compared to conventional fertilizers

• Does not plug drip lines or spray nozzles

• Uniform field application

• Liquid precision- ideal for localized application

Active thiosulfate benefits

• Enhances crop protein and chlorophyll content

• Assists the synthesis and functioning of enzymes in the plant

• Optimizes fertilizer efficiency by stabilizing nitrogen

• Improves availability of nutrients in the soil, particularly phosphorus and micronutrients and their uptake by the crop

• Energy efficient assimilation in the plant

• Beneficial soil microorganism interaction

• Provides prolonged sulfur nutrition

• A controlled and localized pH adjustment effect in the soil

SUMMARY OF APPLICATIONS

• Compatible with open field cultivation as well as cultivation under covers in tunnels and in greenhouses.

• Can be applied via drip irrigation, micro-sprinklers, sprinklers and pivots, soil injection and foliar applications.

• Suitable for use in all crops.

• CaTs applications should be based on an analysis of the soil, and plant tissue (leaf and/or fruit) that provides information on the amount of calcium present. Be sure to follow established recommendations for crops based on local conditions, type of soil,crop and yield potential. In addition, the recommendations in this document are a guide only: the rates must be adjust for each local conditions.

COMPATIBILITY

CaTs is compatible with most fertilizer solutions within normal concentration ranges. CaTs is not compatible with phosphate, sulfate and ammonium thiosulfate fertilizers. Before mixing with pesticides perform compatibility test and read pesticide label carefully.
