The calcium is applied by FOLIAR spray. It doen't just jump from the ground to the bunch.

This is a explanation of what happens to calcium after being deposited in the leaf tissue, whether it be by absorption from plant sap or by direrct FOLIAR spray application.

Haifa Group is a business that lies for profit.
I am done speaking to you because I don't deserve the difficult task of finding relevancies in your prolific pile of irrelevancies. I suggest that you only speak to fools who deserve it. |
Even 'for profit' business promoting their methods and products cited relevant researcher's work to prove the method and/or products.
Further, this is a Forum of Home/Hobby Grower of Bananas where we share our knowledge gain by 'first hand' experience.
... BTW ... Current fertilizer programs by & for Banana Plantation is to apply approximately 25% at planting by soil application for the first 3 or 4 months; then by soil side dressing, fertigation, or foliar spray apply 40% of needed fertilizer for a 70% total of the plant requirement by the time of shooting; THEN by FOLIAR spray apply the next 30% of the plant requirements directly to the upper plant & Bunch. This includes ALL the NPK, Macros (calcium), and Minors
Further, WE ARE NOT a Peer REVIEW group of any research papers and more especially a near 40 year old research paper you referenced. ... That said paper was a study of calcium and only explained what happen to calcium inside the banana plant.
That paper has nothing to do with Foliar spray applications as it was not part of that study. ... You have NO foundation to claim Foliar application of calcium does not work as YOU STATED. That was YOUR assumption or concussion.
You sir, are total BS!
