What is Bio Nova CA 15%?
With the Bio Nova CA 15% you have a mineral Calcium addition of food quality, Calcium plays an important role in stabilizing the cell walls, ion reactions within plants, influencing growth hormones and it regulates the transport of nutrients and water in your crop. In a compact crop or in situations with high humidity, the conductivity is small and this can lead to calcium deficiency. Plants absorb all nutrient-quality minerals directly for optimal control of your plants.
Calcium is commonly found in cell walls and membranes and plays a special role in ionic reactions in plants. Calcium is transported in the plant by water conduction (xylem). A shortage of calcium leads to softened cell walls which manifests itself directly in increased susceptibility to fungi. and the death of young leaves and growing points. An excess of calcium can also occur. resulting in brown spots on the leaves. In situations with high humidity or in a compact crop, conductivity is low and can lead to calcium deficiency.
How to use CA 15%?
Bionova Ca 15 should be applied in case of deficiencies and/or to strengthen cell walls.
This product is miscible with all Bionova fertilizers, stimulators, minerals, universals & substrates and can be used as irrigation or as a foliar spray.
Tips from Bio Nova Growers
- When yellow parts with brown round dots occur on the leaves it is a calcium (Ca) deficiency, apply Ca 15 to the culture. To quickly recovering plants from the nutritional shortage.
- Use Ca 15 weekly during fruits formation to prevent commons physio pathologies like apical rot in tomatoes, bitter pitting of apple tree, fruit cracking and dried leafs in lettuce for example.
- When growing in humid environments double the dosage of Ca 15 to strengthen plant tissues.
- Use 3 times the normal dose of Ca15 when using soft water or Reverse Osmosis Water.
- Use Ca 15 to harden the sprout’s tissues on mother plants just before cutting the clones, in preparation for a healthier rooting.
- To produce healthy seeds after the pollination occurs increase the dosage of Ca 15 together with MgO 10, both products contain Nitrogen which leads to a sufficient uptake of nutrients.
- To prepare a personalized feeding schedule: use Bionova Ca 15 mono-nutrient, you can exactly decide the amount of calcium you are giving to your crop.
- Mono nutrients can be used for outdoor growing. After checking the soil and (irrigation) water, Bionova mono nutrients adjusts the nutrition elements to guarantee enough available nutrients
