Calcium Chelate

Technical Overview

«Kelik Calcium» by the Spanish manufacturer Atlantica Agricola is a high-performance liquid mineral fertilizer designed to supply calcium in a highly bioavailable form. Calcium is notoriously immobile within plant tissues; it relies on transpiration flow, which often fails during peak growth phases. Kelik Calcium addresses this bottleneck by providing a direct source of the nutrient precisely when cells are rapidly dividing.

The Role of Calcium in Cell Structure

The technical efficacy of this product lies in its ability to synthesize calcium pectates — the fundamental components of the middle lamella of cell walls. By strengthening these structural bridges, the fertilizer delivers specific agronomic advantages:

• Fruit Integrity: Significantly reduces physiological cracking in berries and stone fruits caused by rapid water uptake.
• Post-Harvest Quality: Enhances cell wall rigidity, which slows down the respiration rate of fruits and improves shelf life.
• Transportability: Firmer fruit tissue minimizes bruising and mechanical damage during handling and logistics.

Field Application Insights

Kelik Calcium is engineered for versatility. Whether applied via foliar spraying or integrated into fertigation systems, the product remains stable and free from precipitation in the tank. It is particularly effective for high-value crops like vegetables, fruit trees, and grapes. Because the calcium is already in a plant-available form, it bypasses soil fixation issues often encountered with traditional dry fertilizers. When used during critical stages — from flowering through fruit set and development — it directly influences final yield quality and commercial value, effectively preventing conditions like blossom-end rot in tomatoes or bitter pit in apples.
