- Biocal is a liquid fertilizer specifically formulated to supply plants with calcium and nitrogen in the form of readily absorbed calcium nitrate, with a concentration of 19% calcium oxide and 15% nitrogen. It is used during critical stages of crop development, particularly at the beginning of fruit set and during fruit growth. Calcium contributes to strengthening plant cell walls and increasing tissue cohesion, while nitrate nitrogen supports vital activity and uniform growth. Regular application of Biocal helps improve fruit quality and reduce problems resulting from poor calcium translocation within the plant.
Product Features
- It provides calcium in a form that is fast-dissolving and easily absorbed.
- It supports the stability of plant cell walls and enhances the strength of fruit tissues.
- It helps reduce physiological disturbances associated with calcium deficiency.
- It contains nitrate nitrogen which supports balanced growth.
- Applicable via modern irrigation systems or foliar spraying.
- A low chloride and sodium formula reduces the likelihood of salt stress.

Technical tip 🌱
- Supplying the plant with calcium is most effective when used early and regularly, because calcium is a limited-movement element within the plant, so it is preferable to support it during critical periods rather than waiting for deficiency symptoms to appear.
