AGRILIFE NANOCAL

• NanoCal is based on nano calcium particles encapsulated by a chitosan-based bio polymer, embedded on an amino acid and suspended in water. NanoCal has a particle size of less than 100 nano meter and with a potency of 10,000 ppm. NanoCal does not come under the Sched ule of Fertilizer Act (FCO)/ Fertilizer regulato ry. NanoCal provides the plant with bio avail able Calcium. Calcium deficiency is observed In plants like tomato, melons, peppers and egg plant (brinjal). Calcium deficiencies: The young leaves curl inwards and lack colour. This is a common problem in acid soils. The deficiency begins as a light tan, water-soaked lesion and becomes a prominent dry, sunken and leathery lesion at the blossom end of the fruit / vegetable. Plants also tend to get secondary infections from bacterial / fungal pathogens. It is also observed in broad leafed crops and in plants where root access to calcium is limited

Technical Content

• Nano Iron contains Nano particles of Iron which measure less than 100 nano metre. It has 10,000 ppm (1 %) of Nano Calcium particles.

Features & Benefits

FEATURES

• Participates in metabolic processes of other nutrients uptake.
• Promotes proper plant cell elongation.
• Participates in enzymatic and hormonal processes.
• Strengthen cell wall structure - calcium is an essential part of plant cell wall. It forms calcium pectate compounds which give stability to cell walls and bind cells together.
• Helps in protecting the plant against heat stress - calcium improves stomata function and participates in induction of heat shock proteins.
• Helps in protecting the plant against diseases - numerous fungi and bacteria secrete enzymes which impair plant cell wall. Stronger Cell walls, induced by calcium, can avoid the invasion.
• Improves fruit quality.
• Aids in the regulation of the stomata

Usage

CROPS

• All kind of crops

MODE OF ACTION

• The problem often appears when Calcium does not adequately move to the plant organs where it is needed. Calcium is taken up behind the root tip and moves primarily in the transpiration stream up from the roots. Once in the plant, Calcium is mostly present in cell walls and so is not readily remobilized from one plant part to another. Plant organs that have low transpiration (e.g. fruits such as melons, apples, and tomatoes with a waxy skin, or the inner/sheltered parts of leafy plants such as lettuce) can develop low-Calcium disorders. When these disorders develop, sometimes it is related to the soil Calcium supply, but it is frequently related to water stress, cool temperature, and limited transpiration. NanoCal owing to its small particle size is imme diately bio available and is quickly absorbed by plants

DOSAGE

• Mix 2 ml per Litre of water and spray.
