Biocal

ACTION OF BIOCAL

BioCal is a foliar fertiliser that enables the plant to absorb and transport calcium to those organs where natural transport is difficult, thereby reducing symptoms related to calcium deficiencies.

NUTRIENT CONTENT:

Calcium oxide (CaO) water soluble – 8% (w/w)

Zinc (Zn) water soluble – 3 % (w/w)

APPLICATION RANGE, TIMING AND DOSES:

Standard sprayer: Use the recommended dose of BioCal in a minimum of 100 litres/ha of water.

Add the adjuvant PROTECTOR to the treatment to improve adhesion

DO NOT USE WITH ANY WETTING AGENT!

BIOCAL can be mixed with most known foliar fertilisers and agrochemicals.

Do not mix with fertilisers containing phosphorus unless the specific mixture is known to be compatible.

How to apply BioCal?

Apple trees:

To reduce physiological disorders and improve fruit storage ability, enhance fruit colouring

Dose 1 litre/ha

Minimum 4 treatments at stages:

1. 20 – 30 % flowers open

2. immediately after flowering (if the first treatment was not possible, use a double dose of the product)

3. 4 weeks after flowering

4. 4 weeks before planned harvest

Chinese cabbage, Head cabbage:

To reduce the occurrence of physiological disorders (internal browning of heads “tipburn”, pepper spot) and improve yield quality

Dose 1 – 1.5 litres/ha

Minimum 3 treatments at stages:

1. Watering seedlings

2. Before head closure

3. 2 weeks after head closure

If conditions favouring tipburn occur (large temperature fluctuations, expected heavy rainfall after a dry period), apply additional treatments but no more often than every 2 weeks

Lettuce:

To reduce the occurrence of physiological disorders and improve yield quality

Dose 1 – 1.5 litres/ha

Minimum 3 treatments

1. Watering seedlings

2. 10 – 14 days after planting out

3. Just before head closure

If conditions favouring tipburn occur (large temperature fluctuations, expected heavy rainfall after a dry period, large humidity fluctuations), apply additional treatments but no more often than every 2 weeks from the previous one

Sweet cherries and sour cherries:

To improve yield quality and reduce fruit cracking

Dose 1 litre/ha

Minimum 4 treatments

1. At white bud stage

2. During petal fall

3. At fruit set stage

4. 3 weeks before harvest

Tomato, Sweet pepper, Cucumber:

To reduce physiological disorders (dry rot) and improve yield quality (higher extract content, firmer cucumbers)

Dose 1 litre/ha

Perform the first treatment at the beginning of flowering, subsequent treatments every 3 weeks

If conditions favouring physiological disorders occur, apply additional treatments but no more often than every 2 weeks from the previous one

Strawberries and berries:

To reduce physiological disorders and improve yield quality

Dose 1 litre/ha

Start treatments just after flowering begins and repeat every 10 - 14 days (perform more frequent treatments under stress conditions)
