Synergistic Nutrient Matrix and Physiological Roles
Calcium, Boron, and Magnesium interact synergistically within plant vascular and cellular tissues.
Calcium builds rigid pectin cross-links in cell walls; Boron facilitates calcium translocation and pollen fertility; Magnesium occupies the central catalytic ring of chlorophyll molecules, driving photosynthesis.
- Prevents blossom end rot: Rectifies localized calcium deficiencies in rapidly dividing fruit tips of tomatoes, peppers, and watermelons.
- Curbs fruit cracking: Strengthens skin elasticity in pomegranates, apples, and cherries, preventing skin splitting during sudden rains.
- Chlorophyll enhancement: Bioavailable magnesium prevents interveinal leaf chlorosis and maintains active photosynthetic rates.
- High foliar bioavailability: Liquid SL formulation ensures rapid stomatal uptake without causing leaf scorching.
Foliar Spray Application and Best Practices
Because Calcium has low mobility within plant phloem, foliar sprays must directly target newly forming flowers, young leaves, and growing fruit clusters.
Applying during vegetative flush, bloom initiation, and early fruit enlargement yields the highest commercial grading.
- Dilution rate: Dissolve 2.0 to 3.0 ml per liter of clean water (approx. 400 to 500 ml per acre) and spray uniformly.
- Application timing: Spray during early morning or late afternoon hours when humidity allows steady foliar absorption.
- Tank compatibility: Compatible with most neutral crop protection sprays; avoid mixing directly with highly concentrated phosphates or sulfates.
- Storage: Keep container tightly sealed in a cool, ventilated storeroom away from direct sunlight.

Common questions
What nutrients are supplied by Basfoliar CaBMag SL?
It supplies bioavailable Calcium, Boron, Magnesium, and starter Nitrogen in a liquid foliar formulation.
How does Basfoliar CaBMag prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes?
It delivers foliar calcium directly to rapidly expanding fruit tips, preventing localized calcium deficiency that causes black necrotic blossom ends.
Can Basfoliar CaBMag be sprayed on pomegranate orchards?
Yes, it is widely sprayed on pomegranates to strengthen fruit skin elasticity, reduce internal aril breakdown, and prevent fruit cracking.
