‘Aminofert-Calcium
Boron’
Calcium Boron Amino Acid Chelated Powder is prepared for foliar application on
plants to prevent or correct nutrient deficiency that may limit crop growth and
yield. It is non-toxic to plants when applied.
For best results, apply Aminofert-Calcium Boron soluble powder as per
recommendation based on plant tissue or soil analysis. It is approved for
organic production.
Aminofert-Calcium Boron (Calcium Boron Amino
Acid Chelated Powder) contains 6% calcium & 6% Boron and 30% amino acids
(as protein hydrolysed).
Aminofert-Calcium Boron (Calcium Boron Amino
Acid Chelated Powder) is off white to creamish color free flowing powder,
soluble in water and clear solution.
Deficiency
Symptoms
·
As calcium is not freely mobile within plant,
apical portions first shows deficiency symptoms which is noticed as yellowing
of leaves, from edges.
·
New leaves show curling at edges.
·
Die back of young twigs, and stunted growth.
·
Leaves become distorted, small, thick and brittle.
·
Growing points start dying.
·
Watery patches develop in storage tissues.
·
Fruit development is irregular and malformed.
·
Root growth is impaired.

Benefits
·
Boron, a proven calcium synergist.
·
It works for root development during early growth
stage of plant.
·
It is essential for apical growth of plant.
·
It is needed for transportation of other minerals
within plant.
·
It is a part of cell wall, and hence related to
cell division, cell elongation process.
·
It is essential for maintaining a balance between
sugar and starch and functions in the translocation of sugar and carbohydrates.
·
It is important in pollination and fertilization
and formation of seeds and grains.
·
It is necessary for nitrogen metabolism and
protein formation.
Directions
Apply Aminofert-Calcium Boron by a spray
method with an adequate amount of water that will provide complete coverage of
the plants. Use of a non-ionic wetting agent may improve spray coverage of
certain hard to wet plants.
Aminofert-Calcium Boron soluble powder can
be included in a regular spray on crops compatible with other spray material.
The rate of application will depend on the
crops, stage of growth, and severity of deficiency. The maximum recommended
rates are for mature, full-sized plants; reduce the rates proportionately when
spraying smaller plants.
Aminofert-Calcium Boron soluble powder may
be used on legumes, grain crops, root crops, cucurbits, cole crops, leafy
vegetables, woody and herbaceous ornamentals, deciduous fruits, tropical and
subtropical fruits, and many other crops.
Dosage
Field Crops & Vegetables
Apply Aminofert-Calcium Boron
200 to 400 gm per acre during periods of rapid growth or nutritional stress.
The application may be repeated twice or more times through the growth season.
Tree Crops
Make an application of Aminofert-Calcium Boron 400 to 800 gm per acre
after the beginning of active growth. The application may be repeated at 2 to 4
weeks intervals through the growth season. Mid and late-season sprays directed
to cover the fruit may help to reduce the effect of calcium related disorders.
For post-harvest fruit treatment, dilute at a rate of 200 to 400 gm per 100
ltrs of water.
Grapes
& Berries
Make an application of Aminofert-Calcium
Boron 200 to 400 gm per acre after active growth begins. The application may be
repeated at intervals of one week or more through the vegetative growth period.
Instructions
Initially Soluble Powders will require
special mixing attention. Like Soluble Powders have a tendency to clump when
introduced to liquids. Because of this, take every step possible within the
requirements to make these materials as user-friendly as possible.
Care should be taken to ensure that the
materials are fully mixed and disposed throughout the spray tank. One way to
assure proper dispersion is to place the required amount of powder into a
bucket of water. After fully mixing, the product be added to the spray tank.
You can then mix the next spray tank worth of powder in a bucket and let it
hydrate while spraying the first load. This makes the mixing much easier.
Other methods of dispersal:
·
Use an inductor system.
·
Wash the product through the anti-splash screen on the top of the
spray tank.
Shelf Life
36 Months.
STD. Packing
25 Kg Paper Bag.
Storage
Store the material below 25oC,
protect from direct sunlight.
