InCa

InCa - 5% calcium, 1% zinc (w/w) incorporates Plant Impact’s CaT chemistry.

InCa is the new global calcium delivery system. It can be applied as a foliar spray or through drip irrigation or fertigation systems.

Many fruit and vegetable crops suffer quality problems because they are inherently low in calcium due to the physiology of the crop. This is a function of both uneven distribution (calcium flows with transpiration stream), and absorption (some tissues can absorb calcium better than others).

Plant tissues do not absorb calcium evenly, and there are frequently parts of plants that are inherently low in calcium. Growing conditions (such as stress) can worsen the problem, and agronomic practice (nitrogen fertilisation) can exaggerate the problem.

Conventional calcium products only supply calcium they do nothing to help the plant absorb it. InCa is based on CaT chemistry developed by Plant Impact that allows plants to take up and retain calcium in parts of the plant that it is difficult to do so, but for the grower is where it is most needed. It can also help plants use calcium effectively in conditions that make it hard for the plant to achieve (high and low temperatures). This makes it much more effective and flexible than conventional calcium fertilisers (>20 times more effective than conventional treatments in independent trials).

Key advantages:

Prevent Physiological disorders
Improve growth during stress conditions (including high and low temperatures and frosts)
Improve shape and homegeneity of crops
Hold and set more flowers and fruit
Increase quality and shelf life

InCa works by allowing the plant to take up and keep calcium in parts of the plant that are naturally low in calcium. By doing this the product can reduce many physiological problems including blossom end rot (tomato and pepper), internal browning (potato), black tip (mango), hollow heart (sugar beet), hen and chickens (grapes), fruit abortion (cucumber), flower abortion (olive) and many more.

The benefits of InCa can be seen across a wide variety of crops. Evidence of its efficacy can be seen in the trial data section. There are a series of leaflets that can be down loaded here for specific crop types along with MSDS information and label samples.
