    Q
    Can this product be applied directly on tomato plants as a diluted spray?
    The directions direct to dilute in water and treat the soil, but I want to know if it can be diluted and sprayed directly on the plant. If not, can you recommend a product for calcium bicarbonate direct application.
    A
    Yes, the Foli-Cal may be used a foliar spray on Tomatoes. Apply 3 fl. oz. in 2 gallons of water at the 10-12 true leaf state, then at 14 day intervals as needed. Thorough coverage and wetting are needed for optimum foliar spray results. Applications to actively growing plants produce the best results. Wet the entire plant surface. DO NOT apply to foliage when plants are suffering from moisture or heat stress.

    Q
    Can you mix Monterey Foli-Cal with other chemicals for apple trees?
    A

    Since Monterey Foli-Cal is a fertilizer, there should not be any issues applying it together with another product, unless the product label for the other product prohibits such applications.

    Q
    Is Foli-Cal a good product to use to help with calcium deficiencies?
    I have used the spray that is used when you see the blossom end rot and you spray it directly on the leaves and flower. I would like to treat the problem and not the symptom.
    A
    Foli-Cal is labeled to treat for calcium deficiencies that cause rot. We would highly recommend to speak with the master gardener at Your Local Cooperative Extension Office to make sure this would be the right product for your plants needs.

  • Asked by Caro from Lake Charles, La

    Q
    Can Monterey Foli-Cal be used as a soil drench instead of foliar spray?
    A

    According to the Monterey Foli-Cal Product Label: "Foliar sprays of FOLI-CAL are intended to complement good soil fertility by supplying nutrients directly to the foliage, roots and fruit of crops during critical growth stages. " It is mostly intended to be used as a full coverage spray on the foliage and fruit to allow for faster absorption and results. You should be safe to use it as a drench, but since the manufacturer does not state use instructions for this on the label, we couldn't advise on what rate to apply the product.
