Introduction:
- Natural chelating agent therefore high acceptance by plants.
- Quick absorption & delivery of Calcium to tissues where it is required.
Benefits:
- It is free from Chloride, Sulfate and Nitrogen, and therefore ideal for crops during fruiting, Flowering & in periods during maturity
- Ideally applied as a foliar fertilizer, CALBON is directly absorbed by leaves, Shoots and fruits.
- Promote uptake of calcium for improved fruit size, quality, and shelf life.
- Helps to avoid fruit cracking.
- CALBON will also have a favorable effect in reducing sun damage.
Content:
- Calcium : 9% CaO (w/w)
- Heptagluconic acid : 40% (w/w)
- Colour : Light brown
- pH (Typically) : 2.31
Calcium in Plants:
- It is immobile & remains in older tissue.
- Calcium is a primary constituent of cell walls & membranes and is involved in production of new growing parts & root tips.
- Deficiency of Calcium will adversely affect cell division; impair structural stability & permeability of cell walls.
- Increase of Calcium in Fruit, promotes longer storage life & resists a range of Physiological breakdown conditions (such as water core, Bitter pit, internal browning in Apples, Tip burn in Lettuce, Internal Rust spots in Potatoes & Blossom End Rot in Tomatoes, Bud Necrosis in Grapes) etc.
- Due to stronger cell walls provided to the plant by Calcium, Fungal spores are less likely to penetrate and germinate in host cells.
- Crops that suffer from diseases like Botrytis, Rhizoctonia, Phythium, & Fusarium can have greater resistance to such fungal attacks
Reasons for Calcium deficiency
- Excessive dry or wet soils
- Excessive Potash in soils
- Upper leaves are distorted & curled at edges
- Leaves may have yellow bands
- Leaves may turn brown & die.
- Roots develop poorly , are short & chubby and turn brown at an early age and have few root hairs
- The leaves of some plants hook downward and exhibit marginal necrosis
- In blossom end rot, pale brown sunken areas will develop around blossom end. (e.g. Tomatoes).
- Flower buds will fail to develop
In case of Grapes. Calcium deficiency creates bud Necrosis in Grape bunch
Symptoms of Calcium Deficiency
- Slow root development. Roots may develop a dark color and in severe cases the growing point may die.
- New leaf growth may slow and leaf tips may stick together. Remember that calcium does not readily translocate within the plant. So deficiency symptoms will appear on the new growth.
- Poor nodulation by nitrogen fixing bacteria on leguminous plant roots. Ineffective nodules are white to grayish green inside while healthy nodules have dark pink interiors.
- Blossom end rot in tomatoes. Calcium and proper water management improve plant resistance to this problem.
- Aborted and shriveled fruit on peanuts. A shortage of calcium at “pegging” results in a high percentage of “pops”.
- Darkened plumule or “black heart” in peanut seed. This reduces yield, quality and crop value.
- Pod rots diseases on peanuts. Pods are predisposed to fungus infections when calcium is deficient or out of balance with Mg and K.
