YARA LIVA CALCIUM

Why «Yara Liva Calcinit» is the standard for high-quality produce

In modern horticulture, the commercial value of a crop is determined not just by weight, but by shelf life and fruit structural integrity. Manufactured by «Yara Porsgrun» in Norway, «Yara Liva Calcinit» is a high-purity fertilizer engineered to address the specific needs of intensive crop production, particularly for tomatoes, cucumbers, and berries.

The Science of Structural Integrity

Calcium is the backbone of plant cell walls. Since it is relatively immobile within the plant, timely application is essential. «Yara Liva Calcinit» provides a dual-action benefit:

• Optimal Nitrogen Source: With a nitrogen content of 15-20% in nitrate form, it ensures immediate nutrient availability for rapid vegetative growth.
• Cell Membrane Reinforcement: The calcium (CaO) component hardens cell walls, which is the primary defense against common issues like blossom-end rot and internal fruit breakdown.

Operational Benefits in the Field

The product's high solubility is a significant advantage for modern irrigation systems. It is perfectly suited for fertigation, dissolving completely without clogging nozzles or drip lines. This consistency makes it an ideal choice for large-scale operations looking to automate nutrient delivery.

For open-field applications, applying the granules before spring cultivation helps establish a nutrient reservoir for the upcoming season. The fertilizer ensures that the crop has access to both calcium and nitrogen during critical growth stages, leading to improved overall yield. With a low hazard classification (Class 4), it remains a safe and manageable input for daily farm operations, significantly boosting the marketability of the harvested product by ensuring it withstands long-distance transport without bruising.
