Soil Preparation 

Healthy plants start with healthy soil. Hubercarb® ground calcium carbonate can be used as a “soil sweetener,” providing growing plants with essential calcium. C.A.L.F.A.® soil amendment nutrient enhancer also helps release calcium, phosphates and micronutrients from the soil for easy absorption by plants.

Crop Protection 

Shield fruits and vegetables from attack by pests. Nu-Film® specialty adjuvants from Miller Chemical & Fertilizer—part of the Huber AgroSolutions business enable pesticides to adhere to a plant’s surface and resist the effects of rain and UV radiation. This helps farmers reduce their pesticide use to low dose, curative applications. Hubercarb® calcium carbonate is essential for healthy crops. In its various grades, Hubercarb is integrated into crop protection, enhancing insecticides, pesticides and sunscreen. This simple ingredient is a hard-working wonder that can increase the yield of crops.
