LEAFCALCO is a highly concentrated calcium-based product, readily available, and essential for the vitality of plants. It’s specially designed for field & greenhouse crops (arable crops, perennials, horticulture, pastures, and others).
- Due to its ultra-fine particles, it forms a fine, evenly dispersed cover on the crop that strengthens the cell wall and offers nutrition, and physical protection against environmental stress and high temperatures. Leafcalco improves water management in plants by strengthening the cell wall and fruit peel reducing transpiration and water loss. It increases the photosynthesis rate.
- Reduces flower and fruit drops.
- Ideal solution for complete calcium nutrition: the plant becomes more robust, photosynthetically very active and less sensitive to environmental stress.
- The fruiting process is supported from the early vegetation stages. Enhances fruit binding and improves fruit quality and shelf life. It results in healthy fruits with intense color and gives real prevention against calcium-related plant diseases (bitter pitting of the apple tree, apical rot of the tomato, cracking of the fruits).
- Protects from sunburn, both leaves and fruits and increases tolerance to drought. Increases plant resistance and vitality, especially in case of physiological stress.
- Improve yields and their quality.
