LIQUID CALCIUM BORON

A nutrient fertilizer supplement for foliar & soil application

Product Overview

Liquid Calcium Boron is a specially formulated nutrient fertilizer supplement, designed to address calcium and boron deficiencies in a wide range of crops. This solution delivers bioavailable forms of both calcium and boron, two essential elements crucial for plant development, cell wall integrity, reproductive success, and overall yield quality.

·        Formulation: Fully soluble, quick-acting liquid concentrate.

·        Application: Suitable for both foliar spraying and soil drenching.

·        Compatibility: Can be tank-mixed with most common agrochemicals and fertilizers.

·        Crops: Effective for fruits, vegetables, cereals, oilseeds, ornamentals, and specialty crops.

Nutritional Importance of Calcium and Boron

Calcium (Ca)

Calcium is a vital secondary macronutrient that plays several roles within plants:

·        Promotes strong cell wall structure, reducing susceptibility to diseases and physical stress.

·        Facilitates root and shoot development, leaf expansion, and fruit firmness.

·        Supports nutrient uptake and translocation throughout the plant.

·        Improves quality attributes such as shelf-life, texture, and resistance to physiological disorders like blossom end rot or tip burn.

Boron (B)

Boron is a key essential micronutrient that, while required in trace amounts, has outsized effects on plant productivity:

·        Regulates cell wall synthesis and stability.

·        Supports pollen tube growth, fertilization processes, and seed and fruit set.

·        Involved in sugar translocation and carbohydrate metabolism.

·        Prevents deformities in fruits and vegetables, such as cracked or hollow stems, misshapen fruit, and poor development.

Why Choose BoroCal?

Comprehensive Deficiency Correction

Liquid Calcium Boron is engineered for rapid absorption and mobility, ensuring that plants receive an immediate supply of both nutrients when and where they need them most. Unlike dry or granular formulations, the liquid form enables uniform coverage and faster plant uptake, particularly through foliar feeding.

Dual-Action Solution

By delivering both calcium and boron together in a balanced ratio, this supplement addresses the synergistic requirements of the plant, maximizing the effectiveness of each nutrient. Boron's role in calcium mobility and cell wall formation means deficiencies are often interrelated; correction of both nutrients leads to improved crop outcomes.

Versatile Application Methods

·        Foliar Application: Allows for targeted, rapid correction of deficiencies, especially during critical growth stages such as flowering and fruit set.

·        Soil Application: Enhances root zone nutrient availability and supports sustained crop development throughout the growing season.

This versatility makes Liquid Calcium Boron an essential tool for both preventive maintenance and in-season deficiency management.

Compatibility and Convenience

The product is formulated to blend smoothly with most fungicides, insecticides, and other fertilizers, streamlining spray programs and reducing field passes. Its convenient liquid format simplifies mixing and reduces application errors.

Directions for Use

Foliar Application:

·        Recommended Rate: 1–2 liters per hectare, diluted in sufficient water for thorough coverage (usually 200–600 liters per hectare).

·        Timing: Apply at key growth stages—pre-bloom, bloom, early fruit set, and mid-season as needed.

·        Frequency: 2–3 applications per season, or as indicated by tissue analysis or visible deficiency symptoms.

Soil Application:

·        Recommended Rate: 2–4 liters per hectare, either pre-planting or as a side-dress during early crop development.

·        Method: Can be applied via drip irrigation, fertigation systems, or direct soil drenching.

·        Frequency: Dependent on soil test results and crop needs; repeat as necessary for sustained nutrition.

Compatibility Notes:

Always perform a jar test before tank-mixing with other agrochemicals. Avoid mixing with products containing phosphates or sulfates unless compatibility is confirmed.

Scientific Rationale and Research Support

Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated the benefits of timely calcium and boron supplementation:

·        In tomatoes and peppers, foliar application of calcium-boron blends reduced blossom end rot by up to 75% and improved overall fruit firmness.

·        Apple and pear orchards saw increased fruit set, reduced internal browning, and longer shelf-life with routine boron-calcium sprays.

·        Vegetable crops like broccoli and cabbage experienced greater head compactness and marketability when treated with balanced calcium and boron nutrition.

·        Field trials in oilseed crops showed increased seed set, pod formation, and yield per hectare.

These findings underscore the importance of maintaining optimal calcium and boron levels through the growing season.

Market Potential and Target Users

Who Should Use Liquid BOROCAL?

·        Commercial fruit and vegetable growers

·        Orchard and vineyard managers

·        Field crop producers (cereals, oilseeds, legumes)

·        Greenhouse and nursery operators

·        Agrochemical distributors and retailers

·        Agronomists and crop consultants

Market Trends

With growing consumer emphasis on crop quality, food safety, and environmental sustainability, demand for efficient, targeted micronutrient fertilizers is rising. Soil health monitoring and precision agriculture are further driving the adoption of supplemental nutrients like calcium and boron, opening new market opportunities for innovative solutions.
