CAB PLUS
Fast-Acting Calcium and Boron Nutrition for Stronger Flowers, Fruit and Growing Tissues
CAB PLUS is a liquid calcium and boron deficiency corrector designed for rapid uptake through foliar or soil application. Its balanced supply of 12.0% w/v calcium oxide (CaO) and 1.24% w/v boron (B) supports cell-wall formation, flowering, fruit set and sugar transport towards developing organs.
By helping crops maintain an adequate Ca–B balance during periods of high demand, CAB PLUS contributes to firmer, better-quality produce and helps reduce the risk of physiological disorders associated with poor calcium or boron nutrition. It is suitable for horticultural crops, fruit trees, vines, tropical crops, field crops, turf and pastures.
Technical profile
- Concentrated liquid formulation: 12.0% w/v CaO and 1.24% w/v B.
- Rapid nutrient availability: formulated for fast uptake and delivery to tissues with active nutritional demand.
- Complementary Ca–B action: calcium contributes to cell-wall structure, while boron supports cellular activity, protein synthesis and sugar transport.
- Foliar and root-zone versatility: can be incorporated into spray programmes or applied through drip and localised irrigation.
- Broad crop suitability: one formulation can be used across vegetables, fruit trees, vines, tropical crops, field crops, turf and pasture.
- Practical handling: liquid product with a density of 1.38 g/cc, available in 1 L, 5 L, 20 L and 1,000 L packs.
Composition and guaranteed analysis
| Composition | % w/v |
|---|---|
| Calcium (CaO) | 12.0 |
| Boron (B) | 1.24 |
Benefits and agronomic effects
- Dual nutrient correction: supplies calcium and boron together to prevent or correct nutritional imbalances.
- Flowering and fruit set support: boron participates in processes related to flowering, sugar transport and fruit development.
- Stronger growing tissues: calcium supports cell-wall structure in young leaves, shoots and fruit.
- Improved fruit quality and keeping performance: balanced Ca–B nutrition helps support firmness, skin integrity and post-harvest preservation.
- Lower risk of physiological disorders: helps manage crops prone to calcium- and boron-related defects.
- Flexible application: suitable for foliar spraying, drip irrigation and other localised soil applications.
Application rates and timing
FAQ
What is CAB PLUS?
CAB PLUS is a liquid calcium and boron deficiency corrector for foliar and soil application. It is formulated to support rapidly growing tissues, flowering, fruit set and fruit quality.
What is the composition of CAB PLUS?
The product contains 12.0% w/v calcium oxide (CaO) and 1.24% w/v boron (B). Its density is 1.38 g/cc.
Can CAB PLUS be applied by foliar spray and fertigation?
Yes. The technical datasheet provides for foliar application and soil application through drip or localised irrigation. Rates differ according to the crop group and application method.
When should CAB PLUS be applied?
Position applications before or during periods of high Ca–B demand: rapid vegetative growth, pre-flowering, flowering, fruit set and early fruit development. The exact timing and frequency should reflect crop monitoring and the locally approved label.
Does CAB PLUS prevent blossom-end rot?
By supplying calcium and boron, the product can form part of nutrition programmes designed to reduce the risk of blossom-end rot associated with inadequate nutrient availability. However, this disorder is also affected by water supply, root activity and growing conditions. Nutrition must therefore be combined with consistent irrigation and sound crop management.
Can CAB PLUS repair fruit or leaves that are already damaged?
Necrotic or structurally damaged tissue does not recover. Preventive use—or intervention at the earliest signs of nutritional imbalance—is the appropriate approach for protecting new growth and developing fruit.
How many applications are required?
The technical datasheet does not establish a fixed number or interval. Build the programme around crop demand, tissue or soil analysis, deficiency pressure and local label directions, preferably with guidance from a qualified agronomist.
Can CAB PLUS be mixed with other fertilizers or crop-protection products?
Compatibility depends on water quality, concentration and the products included in the tank. Check all applicable labels and perform a jar test before mixing. If compatibility is uncertain, apply the products separately.
Is CAB PLUS certified for organic farming?
The available technical datasheet does not state that CAB PLUS is certified for organic production. Confirm its status with the supplier and the certification body responsible for the destination market before using it in an organic programme.
