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.

Origin and Certifications
CALMA UP is formulated using gluconic acid complexes derived from natural plant sources. This complexing system is designed to facilitate nutrient assimilation and help deliver calcium, magnesium, boron and silicon efficiently to the crop.
The supplied product datasheet identifies CALMA UP as a CE-marked fertiliser and displays the wording “Imported from EU”. It is available in 1 L, 5 L, 20 L and 1,000 L formats, supplied in plastic bottles or IBC containers.
The word “organic” describes the nature of the plant-derived complexing system. It should not be interpreted as certification for organic farming unless suitability has been confirmed under the regulations applicable in the country of use.

- Helps improve the uptake of potassium.
Key Benefits
- High calcium concentration with 15% CaO.
- Balanced supply of calcium, magnesium, boron and silicon.
- Plant-derived gluconic acid complexing system.
- Suitable for both foliar and soil application.
- Applicable to a broad range of arable, fruit and vegetable crops.

Technical Advantages
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.

Features and Properties
CALMA UP is a liquid nutrient corrector containing 15% calcium oxide, 2% magnesium, 0.5% boron and 1% silicon expressed as SiO₃. It is designed to provide these nutrients together when crop demand is high or when soil and environmental conditions restrict their availability.
Its calcium and magnesium are complexed using gluconic acid derived from natural plant sources. This formulation is intended to improve nutrient assimilation and provide a practical solution for deficiencies that frequently appear simultaneously.
The presence of boron complements calcium nutrition by supporting calcium mobility, flowering, pollen quality and pollen tube development. The formulation also helps improve potassium uptake, contributing to balanced crop nutrition during reproductive and fruit-development stages.
CALMA UP supports the formation of firm plant tissues and fruit, helping reduce cracking, internal browning, heart rot, dry rot and other quality problems associated with inadequate calcium nutrition. Improved tissue structure can also contribute to better handling and longer post-harvest life.
The product can be used through foliar or soil applications and is suitable for arable crops, fruit crops, vineyards, vegetables, tubers and pasture land.
Recommended Crops and Timing of Application
In cereals and pasture land, apply CALMA UP during early vegetative development to support yield and crop quality. In maize and sunflowers, applications from the 4-leaf stage help support pollen quality, grain filling and productive development.
In oilseed rape, legumes and soybean, use the product from active vegetative growth through the beginning of flowering. These applications are intended to support even flowering, pollen performance, fruit set and maturation.
For strawberries, pome fruit, stone fruit, soft fruit and grapes, apply around the pre-flowering and flowering stages. Pome fruit may receive additional treatments once fruit reaches approximately walnut size to support calcium transport, firmness and skin quality.
In potatoes, sugar beet, root crops and tubers, apply once sufficient vegetative development has occurred or from the beginning of row closure. The objective is to improve internal quality and reduce the risk of cracking, hollow tissues, browning and calcium-related disorders.
For cabbages, leafy vegetables, bulb vegetables and asparagus, applications should begin once enough leaf area has developed to ensure effective uptake.
FAQ
What is CALMA UP?

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.

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.
