Nutri-Cal is the Number 1 organically complexed liquid calcium plant nutrient product sold today to solve calcium deficiency plant nutrient problems. It is made by the C.S.I. Corporation, a family owned and operated fertilizer manufacturing company, which began in 1955 in Bondurant, Iowa. Until 1973, C.S.I. manufactured liquid fertilizers for grain farmers and other retail dealers throughout the mid-west.

Since that time, we have diversified into the fruit, vegetable and turf markets throughout the United States and now, globally. We began developing a liquid calcium plant nutrient product for the corn and soybean market in 1973. Our soils tested high in calcium, but the pH was low in many soils because a lot of nitrogen was used, creating high hydrogen levels in the soil. We were selling ag lime to help correct this, but found that it took several years to break down and the soil tests were still showing the need for more lime (calcium) and the yields were not increasing. So we set out to find an alternative that would release and keep available the calcium, which was already in our soils.

During this testing we found that there were thousands of pounds of calcium in the soil, but was tied-up and was not available for the exchange with hydrogen on the soil colloid or for uptake by the plant. This is when we discovered a unique organic acid complexing agent that had a great affinity for calcium and could actually breakdown the insoluble calcium bonds in the soil, solving calcium deficiency plant nutrient problems.

Thus, freeing the calcium ion, allowing it to be utilized by the exchange column to replace the hydrogen ion or be immediately absorbed by the roots into the plant. This changed many industry and university people's ideas about liming and introduced the idea of utilizing the plant nutrients we already have in the soil.

Then, in 1980, further diversifying, our research led us to the fact that many fruits and vegetables have calcium deficiency problems. That there were many physiological disorders associated with calcium deficiency. Through our research and development program, we began a five year project to come up with a more efficient, effective and safer product than what was on the market. Nutri-Cal is that product – a liquid calcium plant nutrient to solve calcium deficiency problems.

Nutri-Cal was introduced into the market in 1985 and is the Number 1 organically complexed liquid calcium plant nutrient product sold today. Over 30 years of consistent results has proven Nutri-Cal to be the best liquid calcium plant nutrient source to solve calcium deficiency plant nutrient problems. Today, Nutri-Cal is sold all over the world on and used on almost every crop grown.
