Solfert Calcium is a granular, hard and homogeneous fertilizer. It is applied from early spring until fruit setting and development.
The presence of nitrate has a positive effect on calcium uptake by the plant. Solfert Calcium, with its high calcium content, improves the resistance of cell walls during active phases of cell division.
Solfert Calcium is compatible with other fertilizers, with the exception of sulphur or phosphorus based fertilizers. So either use a separate container or use the fertilizers at different times.
Calcium deficiency is manifested as follows:
-growing shoots degrade, become mucilaginous and brown;
-tomatoes and cucumbers affected by calcium deficiency show blossom end rot on the fruit;
-bitter crumbling occurs in apples during ripening and storage;
-blooms and flower stalks bend;
-degeneration of root center in celery (black heart);
-reduces head splitting, prevents leaf burn in cabbage;
-cracked calyx on carnations.
