Calcium (Ca)

An essential secondary nutrient that enhances fruit quality and strengthens plant cell walls.

Ca

Overview

Calcium is a vital secondary nutrient responsible for improving fruit firmness, reducing blossom-end rot, and enhancing resistance to stress. It is crucial for maintaining strong cell structures and supporting overall crop health.

  • Atomic Weight: 40.08
  • Nutrient Type: Secondary Macronutrient
  • Solubility: 100% Water Soluble

Overview

Calcium enhances the rigidity of plant cell walls, promotes root development, and improves nutrient uptake. It plays a key role in maintaining ionic balance and supporting the growth of fruits and vegetables.

  • Reduces physiological disorders
  • Enhances soil nutrient exchange capacity
  • Strengthens cell wall structure
  • Improves fruit firmness and shelf life

Deficiency Symptoms & Correction

Calcium deficiency leads to weak stems, poor root growth, and disorders such as blossom-end rot in tomatoes and bitter pit in apples.

Apply soluble calcium fertilizers such as calcium nitrate or calcium-magnesium blends to restore plant balance.
