A crucial crop nutrient for many aspects of crop development is Calcium. It’s vital for many aspects of crop development. It plays an extremely important role in the production of plant tissue and in improving plant growth. It is required for plant cell walls and membranes, contributing to the structure of cells and holding together the cell walls of plants. Calcium is crucial in activating certain enzymes and for the sending of signals that coordinate certain cellular activities.
Why is Calcium Fertilizer Important?
Calcium contributes to cell wall formation and membrane integrity in plant cells. Adequate calcium levels promote sturdy plant structure, reducing the risk of diseases and pests. It enhances root growth which is essential for the normal development of a healthy root system to ensure crops can take up the air, water, and nutrients they need from the soil. Calcium also increases resistance to outside attack and increases the feed value of forage crops to livestock.
Calcium is also needed for cell division and elongation in growing tissue and hence is essential during seed germination and early growth stages. It also plays a critical role during flowering and fruit development.

What are symptoms of calcium deficiency?
Crops lacking in calcium have poor root development and the demise of their root tips. Lack of calcium may leave the crops susceptible to ailments like black heart in celery, tip burn in cabbage, and blossom end rot in tomatoes.
Since calcium is immobile in plants, symptoms of a deficit will manifest on younger leaves if the supply of fresh calcium is cut off or restricted. The growing tip of new leaves may perish, and they have curled edges and distortions.

Symptoms of Calcium deficiency in Crops | ICL India
Regions in India that may experience low Calcium throuput for plants include:
High-Rainfall Areas: Calcium leaching, requiring supplementation.
Dry and Sandy Soils: Sandy soils often lack calcium.
For accurate information on calcium levels in specific regions of India, it’s best to conduct soil testing or consult ICL agricultural experts as soil nutrient content can vary even within small geographic areas.

Fertilizers for your open-field fertigation needs
Fertiflow is a brand of low-pH fertilizers designed for crops in alkaline to neutral soil types. Thanks to its low pH, Fertiflow increases the availability of nutrients to plant roots. Fertiflow products are certified free of heavy metals, making them ideal eco-friendly fertilizers for open fields. Our Fertiflow water soluble fertilizers are highly soluble to ensure an even spread of nutrients through your plantations and across the irrigated area, thus increasing the overall crop yield and quality. Applied during the plants’ growth stage prevents nutrient deficiencies at the crucial early phases of plant growth. The process of fertigation involves mixing liquid or water-soluble fertilizers into irrigation water. In this manner, fertilizers are evenly dispensed during irrigation, increasing nutrient availability and efficiency. Such fertilizer application enables precise nutrition in accordance with the soil fertility and the crop growth stage.

Nutrivant delivers advanced technology for improved, long lasting foliar nutrition.
Nutrivant Fertilizers, the ICL’s foliar fertilizer technology, are a unique, dynamic, and effective method of crop nutrition. It’s designed as a preventive foliar product being part of a complete fertilizer plan. The Nutrivant range comprises fully soluble formulations that contain both macro-, meso- and micro-nutrients and a special designated trace mix for every crop’s need. Nutrivant requires a lower volume of spray for application, reducing the nutrient cost per hectare. It can be easily tank mixed with a large number of plant protection products. Foliar feeds from Nutrivant fit into all fertilization programs and are chloride-free and fully soluble. Foliar Fertilizers are range of nutrients applied directly to the leaf of the crop to provide for an effective absorption in a shorter turnaround time. In the process of foliar fertilization the nutrients are absorbed directly through the pores of the leaves of the plant. They then proceed to spread down towards the roots while also stimulating nutrient absorption and growth in the leaves. This effectively encourages development of roots and shoots as well, because the plant then requires an increased water intake. Applying foliar fertilizer can therefore increase the uptake of nutrients from the soil by encouraging plants to take up more water from the soil. It also provides some immediate relief to crops in event of them suffering a nutrient deficiency, or otherwise when one wishes to quicken the process of nutrient absorption. ICL’s Foliar fertilizers are not meant to be an alternative to other soil fertilizers or general conditioning of the plantation areas. It’s more of a powerful supplement that’s designed to increase plantation efficiency and improve the crop health
