CALMA UP
Liquid Organic Ca/Mg/B/Si Complex for Firmer Tissues, Improved Fruit Quality and Effective Nutrient Correction
CALMA UP is a liquid calcium, magnesium, boron and silicon fertiliser formulated with gluconic acid complexes derived from natural plant sources. Designed for foliar and soil application, it corrects calcium and magnesium deficiencies while supporting flowering, fruit set, tissue firmness and crop quality.
Its balanced combination of nutrients helps improve calcium mobility within the plant and supports potassium uptake. CALMA UP is suitable for a wide range of crops, particularly during periods of rapid growth, flowering, fruit development and high nutritional demand.
Technical profile
The combination of calcium, magnesium, boron and silicon offers a comprehensive approach to tissue development and crop quality. Calcium contributes to cell-wall stability and tissue firmness, while magnesium supports chlorophyll formation and photosynthetic activity. Boron plays an important role in flowering, pollen function and calcium mobility. Silicon complements the formulation by supporting the structural quality of plant tissues.
The gluconic acid complexing system is derived from natural plant sources. It helps maintain nutrients in an assimilable form and facilitates their distribution following application.
CALMA UP is particularly valuable when calcium and magnesium deficiencies occur together or when the crop experiences high demand during flowering, fruit set, grain filling or fruit enlargement.

Application rates and timing
FAQ
What is CALMA UP?
CALMA UP is a liquid Ca/Mg/B/Si nutrient corrector formulated with plant-derived gluconic acid complexes. It is intended to correct nutrient deficiencies and improve flowering, fruit set, tissue firmness and crop quality.
What deficiencies does CALMA UP correct?
It is primarily designed to correct calcium and magnesium deficiencies, while also supplying boron and silicon.
What is the calcium content of CALMA UP?
CALMA UP contains 15% calcium oxide (CaO) on a weight-by-volume basis.
Why does the formulation include boron?
Boron supports flowering, pollen quality, pollen tube development and calcium mobility within the plant. The formulation is also designed to support potassium uptake.
Can CALMA UP help prevent calcium-related physiological disorders?
Yes. It is recommended to help reduce disorders such as heart rot, dry rot, fruit deformation, cracking, hollow tissues and internal browning when these problems are related to insufficient calcium nutrition.
Is CALMA UP suitable for foliar application?
Yes. The product is suitable for foliar use. It may also be applied through appropriate soil-application systems, subject to label instructions and local technical recommendations.
What is the general application rate?
The recommended range is normally 0.5–3 L/ha. The exact rate and number of treatments depend on the crop and application objective.
When should CALMA UP be applied?
The most important timings include active vegetative growth, pre-flowering, flowering, fruit set, grain filling and early fruit development. Preventive application before deficiency symptoms become severe is generally preferable.
Can it be used on fruit crops?
Yes. The technical datasheet includes strawberries, pome fruit, stone fruit, soft fruit, table grapes and wine grapes.
Is CALMA UP suitable for all crops?
The datasheet identifies it as suitable for all crops, although crop-specific rates are provided only for the crops listed in the application table. For unlisted crops, consult a qualified technical adviser.
Can CALMA UP be used in organic farming?
The term “organic” refers to its plant-derived complexing system. The supplied datasheet does not state an organic-farming certification, so compatibility with organic production must be verified under the applicable local standard.
Can CALMA UP be tank-mixed with other products?
Compatibility depends on the other fertilisers and crop-protection products involved. Conduct a small compatibility test before mixing and follow the label instructions for every product in the tank.
