Piocal is a specialized liquid fertilizer that supplies calcium and nitrogen in the form of fast-absorbed calcium nitrate, containing 19% calcium oxide and 15% nitrogen. It is used during sensitive crop stages, especially at the start of fruit set and during fruit growth: calcium stabilizes plant cell walls and increases tissue firmness, while nitrate nitrogen supports biological activity and steady growth. Regular use of Piocal improves fruit quality and reduces problems caused by poor calcium translocation within the plant.
Key Features:
- Supplies calcium in a fast-dissolving, easily absorbed form.
- Supports cell-wall stability and strengthens fruit tissues.
- Helps reduce physiological disorders linked to calcium deficiency.
- Contains nitrate nitrogen for balanced growth.
- Can be applied through modern irrigation systems or as a foliar spray.
- Low-chloride, low-sodium formula that reduces the risk of salt stress.

- Cereals and forage crops: 5 ml per liter of water when needed.
- General foliar spray: 1 ml per liter of water.
- Repeat applications according to the fertilization program and plant condition.
Compatibility and Precautions:
- Compatible with most agricultural fertilizers.
- Avoid mixing with phosphate or sulfate sources.
- A jar (compatibility) test is recommended before mixing.
- Avoid spraying during high temperatures.
Storage:
- Keep in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place.
- Keep away from direct sunlight.
- Shake well before use.
Orkida Tip:
Calcium supply is most effective when started early and applied regularly, because calcium moves very little inside the plant. Support your crop during critical periods rather than waiting for deficiency symptoms to appear.
