ActiCal is a unique liquid calcium formulation of the latest generation containing calcium in the form of a high quality chelate. This unique amino acid formulation of calcium (CALAC112) substantially augments bioavailability, eliminating the drawbacks associated with the low mobility of calcium ions in plants (CaO calcium content – 112 g/l). It is easy to use by its liquid formula, completely soluble in water and is one of the few products in the market does not contain chlorine or nitrates.
• Improves fruit firmness, durability and mechanical resistance
• Prevents physiological diseases caused by calcium deficiency
• Improves fruit resistance to cracking
Calcium and its significance:
• takes part in the biosynthesis of the cell wall
• collects and stabilizes microelements, e.g. pectin in the cell wall
• influences the growth of fruit
• makes the plant resistant to stress conditions.
Symptoms of calcium deficiency:
• yellowing of leaf lamina tips, curling of leaf lamina and necrosis
• shoots white to brownish
• putridity in the tip of the fruit
• decay of the plasma membrane
• incorrect growth
• necrosis of plant organs.
