I use it on our gravel road to keep the dust down. It is a salt that draws in water to keep the dust wet. It is highly corrosive to steel. I wouldn't want to get it anywhere near my pumpkin plants. It would suck the water right out of them.

don't know if it is the same stuff you are looking at or not...
this stuff says derived from citric acid and calcium choride.

i recomend you don't use it. It seems anything with a clorine (cloride) ion in it is not good for human and plant health. Look it up though because i could be wrong

Calcium Chloride is often used for tomatoes in the Form of Blossum Rot End. It is used as a foliar to increase to calcium. We use Calcium Nitrate and Molasses...along with Fish and Kelp for a balanced fertilizer/

Much better forms of calcium than CaCl. I never used it and never will.

I've used it plenty of times on my tomato plants, mixed a tablespoon to a gallon of water and use as a foliar. I have great results on the tomatos with it, almost like a steroid. My understanding is that the AG plants are a much more tender plant than a tomato.....don't think I would chance it.
