BOROCAL PRIME

Specialized, high-analysis calcium-boron foliar fertilizer utilizing sugar alcohol complexation technology to enhance foliar Ca²⁺ absorption, mobility, and retention. Addresses Ca²⁺ deficiency in rapidly growing reproductive tissues and fast-expanding fruits where transpiration-dependent xylem transport limits calcium delivery.

Active ingredient

Calcium (Ca²⁺), Boron (B) as Disodium Octaborate Tetrahydrate (Na₂B₈O₁₃ · 4H₂O), Sugar Alcohol Complex

Formulation

SL (Soluble liquid)

Calcium and boron work together in the fruit itself, calcium binds into the fruit's cell walls and gives it firmness, while boron helps regulate how calcium and other nutrients actually move into the developing fruit in the first place, so a shortage in either nutrient tends to show up as the same kind of problem, soft, disorder-prone fruit or poor fruit set.

This combination targets that shared weak point directly rather than treating calcium and boron as separate corrections.

Recommended rate: 2–3 litres per hectare per application

Apply through fruit development, from fruit set onward, since that's when calcium demand in the fruit itself is highest and when a shortage actually shows up as a quality problem at harvest. This also fits well ahead of a heat event, since heat stress increases the plant's calcium and water demands at the same time fruit is trying to develop.

This is a mineral fertilizer blend, not a crop-protection chemical, so normal good hygiene during mixing, gloves, avoid ingestion, wash hands afterward, is enough. Store in a cool, dry place away from children, food, and livestock.

Registered for use on labelled crops across East African markets, under the relevant national regulatory authority. Always read and follow the approved product label before use.
