I must admit, I failed to read each and every symptom and cure before I stickied that shuggy. But it is certainly something that "I" have NEVER heard before. If you have the lime in the soil, and are keeping ph range in an acceptable level, there shouldn't be a deficiency, and certainly no reason to foliar feed it.
....in addition, that composition suounds waaay concentrated "IMO".. , he only recommends "1 teaspoon p/gallon of water" to put in the soil, yet "twice that" concentration for foliar.?? :confused2:..To fix a calcium deficiency you can treat by foliar feeding with one teaspoon of dolomite lime or Garden lime per quart/2 pint/1.25lt of water.
I can tell you that "1 tablespoon, per gallon of soil", miced before planting, and you will never have a deficiency of mg or ca in your soil.
