Borocal is a complete liquid fertilizer containing nitrogen, calcium and boron, designed to feed plants during critical stages, especially before flowering and during fruit set. Calcium strengthens cell walls and increases the firmness of plant tissues, boron improves pollination, increases fruit set and reduces flower drop, and nitrogen supports overall plant growth. It is rapidly absorbed through leaves and roots, helps reduce calcium-deficiency disorders such as blossom-end rot and fruit cracking, and is an effective solution for improving produce quality and fruit firmness and shelf life.
Key Features:
- Contains calcium and boron to support flowering and fruit set and improve fruit quality.
- Helps strengthen cell walls and increase the firmness of plant tissues.
- Reduces calcium-deficiency problems such as blossom-end rot and fruit cracking.
- Improves pollination and increases fruit set thanks to its boron content.
- Helps improve calcium translocation within the plant with regular use.
- Suitable for all irrigation systems and for foliar spraying.

Orkida Tip:
Borocal gives the best results when applied just before flowering and during fruit set, because calcium and boron at this stage are the key factors for successful fruit set and fruit quality. Any delay in application clearly reduces the product's efficiency.
