Benefits

How Calcium Enhances Plant Growth

Calcium plays a critical role in various plant physiological processes. It is integral in the development and structural integrity of cell walls, reducing the risk of cell collapse and contributing to overall plant strength.

• Cell Wall Formation: Strengthens and stabilizes plant cell walls by forming calcium pectate.
• Root System Development: Encourages robust root system growth, enhancing water and nutrient uptake.
• Resistance Against Diseases: Improves plant resistance against various diseases and environmental stresses.
• Fruit Quality: Enhances the firmness and shelf-life of fruits, reducing post-harvest losses.

Importance of Boron in Plant Health

Boron, though required in small quantities, is indispensable for plant health. It aids in critical functions like cell wall synthesis and reproductive development.

• Cell Division: Promotes cell division and achieves uniform growth patterns in plants.
• Pollination and Seed Production: Crucial for successful pollination and increases seed and fruit production.
• Nutrient Transport: Facilitates the movement of sugars and nutrients within the plant.
• Disease Resistance: Enhances the plant’s natural defense mechanisms against pathogens.
