Description translated from Japanese

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a liquid calcium fertilizer for supplying calcium to plants by foliar application.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Since calcium does not easily move in plants, deficiency in the part far from the root such as bottom rot of tomato has been reported. As
a preventive measure, a method of applying a calcium fertilizer such as calcium chloride or calcium nitrate as an aqueous solution and spraying it on the leaf surface or
fruit surface of plants has been used.

On the other hand, calcium chloride and calcium nitrate were liable to cause phytotoxicity in plants, especially apples. Therefore, when phytotoxicity is likely to occur,
organic acid calcium such as calcium formate, which is free of chloride ion and nitrate ion, has begun to be used.

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-137384 discloses a foliar-applied fertilizer for plants containing calcium formate as an active ingredient.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 60-260487 discloses a fertilizer for foliar application of plants containing calcium acetate as an active ingredient.

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-202080 discloses a fertilizer for foliar application of plants, which contains calcium propionate as an active
ingredient.

Further, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-97686 discloses a fertilizer or a culture solution having excellent stability of a solution containing calcium and
gluconic acid or a compound that produces gluconic acid.

12/21/23, 10:07 PM JPH09263477A - Liquid calcium fertilizer - Google Patents
Recently, there has been a demand for a foliar spray fertilizer of liquid calcium which is free from the chemical damage of calcium chloride and which can be easily
dissolved and divided into small amounts.

Table 1 shows the results of examining the calcium content of various calcium salts, the saturated concentration, and the calcium concentration of the saturated
solution.

[0010]

[Table 1]

Calcium chloride has a problem of chemical damage, but it is well soluble in water and has a high calcium content. As shown in Table 1, the concentration of calcium in
the saturated solution is about 22 in terms of CaO.
%, Which is by far the best among calcium compounds.
Further, it is the most preferable as a raw material for the liquid calcium agent since it can be obtained in large quantities from Soda Industry at a low cost.

[0012] Calcium organic acid is excellent in that the occurrence of phytotoxicity is reduced, but as shown in Table 1, both the solubility and the calcium content are lower
than that of calcium chloride. This is the limit and has the drawback that a high-concentration liquid containing 10% or more of CaO cannot be produced. Also, organic
acid calcium is generally higher than calcium chloride, which makes it considerably expensive.

On the other hand, when calcium chloride or organic acid calcium is dissolved in water to prepare a high-concentration calcium-containing liquid,
There are problems that crystals are deposited during storage and that insoluble calcium carbonate is generated by absorbing carbon dioxide gas in the air. For this
reason, calcium fertilizer is distributed in powder form, and most of it is used by users after dissolving it in water.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is a liquid calcium fertilizer which has the following conditions: low chemical damage, high calcium content, good
storage stability, low cost as much as possible, and high calcium effect. Is the development of.

[0015]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present inventors have examined the reduction of chemical damage and the improvement of storage stability of a combination of
calcium chloride and organic acid calcium, which has been hitherto harmful to use. As a result, in a liquid composition prepared by mixing and dissolving water-soluble
organic acid, calcium chloride, slaked lime and / or quick lime in water, the calcium concentration derived from calcium chloride becomes 45 to 65% of the total calcium
concentration, and the pH becomes 3 to 4.5. It was found that the above problems can be solved by doing so.

The organic acid used here may be one that forms a water-soluble calcium salt. However, it is preferable to use gluconic acid, which is an oxycarboxylic acid, in
combination with lactic acid because it has a particularly excellent effect on stabilization of liquid properties.
In addition, use of acetic acid is preferable for producing a high-concentration preparation having CaO of 11% or more. Formic acid and propionic acid can be combined
with them to make highly concentrated formulations and help reduce the acetic acid odor of the stock solution.

These liquid compositions have a slightly acidic pH of about 5 to 6 when diluted to a use concentration, have a practical level of phytotoxicity, and have good liquid
stability. Thus, due to the unique composition and pH at the time of application, the fertilizing effect of calcium is at a higher level than other calcium salts alone.

In the present invention, slaked lime and / or quick lime and an organic acid undergo a neutralization reaction between a hydroxide ion and a hydrogen ion produced from
each other in water to produce a calcium ion and an organic acid ion. Part of it becomes organic acid calcium, in which calcium chloride is dissolved.
On the other hand, it is possible to make a chemical composition equivalent to that of the present invention by combining organic acid calcium, calcium chloride and a
small amount of organic acid, but the stability of the resulting liquid calcium fertilizer becomes poor. It is considered that this is because the chemical equilibrium state in
the liquid is different and the liquid calcium fertilizer according to the method of the present invention is unique and its effect is high.

By the above method, the calcium concentration in the liquid is increased to CaO 11 to 14%. This is equivalent to about 1.5 to 2 times the saturated concentration of
calcium formate, which is widely used on the market, and there is a cost advantage in terms of distribution, and it is convenient because a small amount can be
purchased.

The preferred composition is as follows. Gluconic acid 1 to 3%, lactic acid 1 to 5%, acetic acid 5% or more, pH 3 to
4.5 The pH is preferably 3.5 to 4.1, the calcium content is 11% or more in terms of CaO, preferably 12 to 14%, and the proportion of calcium chloride-derived calcium in the
total calcium content is 45 to 65%. When an organic acid other than gluconic acid, lactic acid, and acetic acid is added, formic acid and propionic acid are preferred
because they tend to be stable.

Furthermore, it is possible to change part of calcium chloride into calcium nitrate. In this case, nitrogen is supplied together with calcium, so that the period of use and
crops are limited.

[0022]

[Action] Although the details of the action mechanism are unknown, it is considered as follows. Free organic acid ions chelate and stabilize calcium. In particular,
oxycarboxylic acids gluconic acid and lactic acid form a highly stable water-soluble chelate. For plants, a mixture of calcium chloride and an organic acid is easily
absorbed, and further, the organic acid prevents immobilization of calcium and assists its movement in the plant. Also,
When the organic acid ions are present in a certain proportion or more with respect to the chlorine ions, they antagonize the chlorine ions and prevent the chlorine ion
from causing chemical damage. Further, since the proportion of calcium chloride is above a certain level, a stable high-concentration liquid can be prepared.
