Calcium mobility technology and the role of calcium in fruit production

10 Jul 2024
NFU Fruit Forum

This seminar will explain how to improve calcium mobility and the effect this has on tree and soft fruit in the field. Hear how the calcium mobility biostimulant technology works to optimise movement and distribution of calcium in plant tissue to help improve crop quality and yield, and reduce the risk of calcium disorders.

Calcium is an essential plant nutrient that is used in maintaining cell wall structure and plant membrane integrity. But its movement is often limited by low transpiration rates, meaning it may not adequately reach the fruit where it is most needed. This leads to calcium deficiency disorders, such as bitter pit in apples, which impacts marketable yield.
