Calcium formate
| Calcium oxide | (CaO) | water-soluble | 40,5 % |
| Formate | 56 % |
CHARACTERISTICS:
CALCIUM FORMATE is an highly water-soluble product, and thanks to its strong compatibility with plant tissues, it quickly reaches the areas of the plant where the deficiency occurs.
It is suitable in every phenological stage, from pre-flowering to harvest: the absence of nitrogen (which is present conversely in calcium nitrate) allows the use of CALCIUM FORMATE even in presence of excessively vigorous plants.
The application of CALCIUM FORMATE improves the organoleptic properties of fruits and vegetables and the increase in shelf-life.
