📌 Calcium in orchards – when, how much, and how?
🧠 Calcium is essential for the quality of stone fruits — it strengthens the skin, improves firmness and reduces cracking. But the effectiveness of calcium treatments depends entirely on timing and application method.
✅ When to apply?
Start foliar treatments during fruit development. Plan 3–4 applications, with the last one at least 14 days before harvest.
✅ What not to mix it with?
Avoid combining calcium with phosphates and phosphonates, as these can reduce absorption efficiency.
✅ How to boost effectiveness?
Adding amino acids enhances calcium uptake and helps plants respond better to environmental stress.
🎯 Precision matters: calcium is transported only upward in the plant. In dry or overly humid conditions, it may never reach the fruit — which is why foliar nutrition is crucial.
📌 Recommended by agronomists:
🔹 VitaFer Ca – for improved firmness
🔹 VitaFer Extra Ca – enhanced calcium uptake
🔹 VitaFer Green – support for fruit resilience 👉 Make decisions based on data — not guesswork.
