Defender Calbor

Fertilizer – Calcium and boron deficiency corrector

CHARACTERISTICS:

Defender Calbor is a nutritional product rich in calcium and boron, complexed with amino acids. Its rapid absorption allows these elements to be translocated to flowers and fruits, main organs where they are required. Due to its composition, Defender Calbor promotes good a structural development and quality of flowers, prevents floral abortion, improves fruit setting and favours its attachment. Regarding the quality of the fruits, it increases the weight and size, and improves the consistency of the fruit. It also improves post-harvest life by extending shelf life.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The boron in Defender Calbor promotes cell elongation and cell wall strength, thus improving pollen grain viability and pollen tube elongation. In consequence, boron promotes good flowering, fertilization and fruit setting. In addition, it controls sugars and starches movement from leaves to fruits, improving their quality. It is also involved in calcium absorption and metabolism, being accumulated in cell wall bound to pectins, giving elasticity and firmness to tissues.

Due to its calcium content, Defender Calbor improves the integrity of cell walls and membranes, allowing plant tissues to be more resistant and preventing the entry of pathogens. The application of calcium decreases the appearance of physiological imbalances such as apical rot, bitter pit and black heart. Calcium generally improves fruit quality since it helps to maintain its firmness (avoiding cracking), consistency and size, as well as guaranteeing their shelf life.

In conclusion, Defender Calbor ’s use ensures a good process of pollination, fertilization, and of flowers and fruits setting, increasing yield and final crops production.
