Is there someone using water mixing with powder gypsum to add directly some calcium (sulfate)? How rate?
Is there a way for a foliar spray???

Many thanks!

Stephane, Il faut mieux ajouter le gypse au sol puis arroser ou laisser faire la pluie. La quantité dépend du résultat de l'analyse de sol. Pour apporter du calcium en foliaire, je te conseille le mégagreen dispo en France.

Extreme pumpkin sells a liquid gypsum. It's calcium chloride instead of calcium sulfate which will make it more soluble in water.

Merci beaucoup, c'est noté Medhi!

It's a new patch, no calcium ever added in it but with a lot of horse manure compost, i'll try to find Megagreen in France(sur quel site Medhi? please).

Thinking of many manure compost can create an acidification of the soil so i have to put a little lime too.

Thanks Dave and Medhi.

Tape Megagreen sur google, tu trouveras des dizaines de sites français qui en vendent. Pour le calcium, si ton Ph est correcte, utilise du gypse mais si ton Ph est bas alors la chaux augmentera ton calcium et le Ph.
