๐ Calcium in orchards โ when, how much, and how?
๐ง Calcium is essential for the quality of stone fruits โ it strengthens the skin, improves firmness and reduces cracking. But the effectiveness of calcium treatments depends entirely on timing and application method.
โ
When to apply?
Start foliar treatments during fruit development. Plan 3โ4 applications, with the last one at least 14 days before harvest.
โ
What not to mix it with?
Avoid combining calcium with phosphates and phosphonates, as these can reduce absorption efficiency.
โ
How to boost effectiveness?
Adding amino acids enhances calcium uptake and helps plants respond better to environmental stress.
๐ฏ Precision matters: calcium is transported only upward in the plant. In dry or overly humid conditions, it may never reach the fruit โ which is why foliar nutrition is crucial.
๐ Recommended by agronomists:
๐น VitaFer Ca – for improved firmness
๐น VitaFer Extra Ca – enhanced calcium uptake
๐น VitaFer Green – support for fruit resilience ๐ Make decisions based on data โ not guesswork.
