- Biocal is a specialized liquid fertilizer designed to correct calcium deficiency and support balanced vegetative growth thanks to its easily absorbed nitrogen and calcium content. It is used to reduce problems such as blossom-end rot, fruit cracking, and poor tissue firmness, particularly in tomato, pepper, cucumber, melon, and strawberry crops.
- Calcium contributes to strengthening cell walls and improving fruit firmness and quality, while nitrogen supports vegetative growth without negatively affecting fruit firmness when used correctly. It is recommended to use it during the pre-flowering, early fruit set, and fruit enlargement stages when the plant's need for calcium is at its highest, thus helping to improve crop quality and reduce losses.
