Product Type
Organic calcium, magnesium, boron and silicon nutrient corrector
CALMA UP
Organic Ca-Mg-B-Si nutrient corrector for firmer tissues, calcium mobility, flowering, fruit set, pollen quality and prevention of deficiency disorders.
CALMA UP is a liquid organic calcium, magnesium, boron and silicon complex designed to correct nutrient deficiencies that can occur together during active crop development. The fertilizer uses complexes derived from natural plant sources, including gluconic acid, to support nutrient availability and uptake.
Its combination of calcium, magnesium, boron and silicon supports tissue firmness, fruit quality, flowering, fruit set, pollen performance and calcium transport. Boron is included in a balanced ratio to support calcium mobility within the plant and improve potassium uptake.

How it works / Technical advantages
CALMA UP is a completely chelated fertilizer using complexes derived from natural plant sources, including gluconic acid. The formulation is designed around calcium and magnesium deficiencies that can occur simultaneously, while boron supports calcium mobility and potassium uptake.
The addition of silicon complements the Ca-Mg-B nutrient profile in a single liquid complex suitable for broad crop use. This combination supports structural quality, reproductive development and nutrient balance across vegetative and fruiting stages.
Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: CALMA UP is suitable for foliar and soil application. Follow the crop-specific rates and timings below. The source presents one crop programme per rate without assigning each rate exclusively to one route.

Additional technical information
Target problem / deficiency symptoms
CALMA UP is intended to correct calcium, magnesium, boron and silicon nutritional deficiencies and to support crop quality where calcium mobility, tissue firmness, flowering, fruit set or pollen performance may be limiting.
Documented crop targets include calcium-deficiency disorders, heart rot and dry rot in sugar beet, deformed strawberries, poor skin quality, cracks, hollow stalks or tubers, and internal browning in susceptible crops.
