The Supercal Advantage

SuperCal 98G – The precision pH product

SuperCal 98G is the premier choice to correct soil pH levels, increase yield potential and profitability.

The key to SuperCal 98G is:• Purity• Particle size• Uniformity• Precision

Poor pH = Poor Roots = Poor Yield

Low soil pH burns roots

Low pH reduces nutrient and water uptake

What happens when we lime?

Lime (CaCO3 ) must dissolve in water The CO3 reacts with H+ to form water and CO2

Ca++ takes place of H+ on CEC sites

Improved pH Management

For immediate and long-term soil pH solutions, SuperCal 98G is the choice for today's precision farmer.

Why not spend smaller amounts every other year for quick ROI?

Particle Size & Drift

On average, 25% of the finest most reactive particles drift off target

Variable Rate Lime is Variable

“The results of this research proved conclusively that non–uniform application of fertilizers resulted in less total yield than uniformly applied fertilizers even though the same total rate per acre had been applied in each case.

The loss in yield due to lower than recommended rates of application far exceeded the slight increase in yield obtained from excess application over the recommended rate.” Virginia Tech

No such thing as precision Aglime

Precision agriculture has revolutionized the way we manage our fields and increase our yields.

Aglime just doesn’t fundamentally fit into precision agriculture.

SuperCal 98G - True Precision Lime

Calcium Products pellets are engineered to work seamlessly with today's precision farming tools and techniques.

Simplify hauling, storage, and enjoy drift-free application and easy cleanup.

Apply our products in precise locations and specific amounts, maximizing return on investment through higher yields.

The perfect amount in the precise location, every time!

SuperCal 98G is Precision

SuperCal 98G allows for precision spreading, equal distribution with flexible application options.

Apply 98G anytime with any dry fertilizer

Can be strip-tilled, row placed, drop boom applied, used in seed blends and as a carrier.

SuperCal 98G = Increased Yield

Bottom Line Results

With treatment cost approximately the same, SuperCal 98G gave a 4.2 bu/A advantage over aglime

“We put a lot less on than ag lime, but got better results...”-Darin G., IA

SuperCal is a Superior Sulfur Source

AMS (21-0-0-24) -24% S• Solubility• Volatile Cost• N:S Ratio• Acidifying

Elemental S – 90% S • Not sulfate form• Slow availability• Application rate• Acidifying

SuperCal SO4 applied at 100 lbs/A provides a pellet every 5.75 inches

Elemental sulfur provides a pellet every 29 inches

SuperCal SO4 at 17# S/a 25 pellets / sq ft

Elemental at 20# S/a5 pellets / sq ft

SuperCal SO4 – Available Sulfur

SuperCal SO4 is the only Sulfur fertilizer you can apply over the top of standing crop that will not “burn” or injury the crop.

Green up in as little at 10 days.
