CALCILIX® is a liquid formula that provides highly bioavailable calcium, quickly absorbed through leaves and roots. It strengthens plant tissues, prevents calcium-related disorders, and enhances fruit firmness and shelf life.
Symptoms of Calcium Deficiency:
- Necrosis or burning at leaf margins and tips
- Deformation or curling of young leaves
- Death of growing points (shoot or root tips)
- Weak cell walls causing soft tissues and poor structure
- Reduced root growth and branching
- Premature aging of tissues
Product Overview: CALCILIX® corrects or prevents calcium deficiency, stunted growth, and reduced yields. It promotes strong plant cell growth, improves resistance to stress, drought, and disease, balances soil salinity, and improves water penetration through soil.
Methods of Application: Foliar spraying (conventional, aerial), ground watering.
Treatment Effect:
- Without Calcilix: Cracked fruit
- With Calcilix: Firm and healthy fruit
High Bioavailability: The calcium in CALCILIX® is highly bioavailable, ensuring efficient uptake by plants.
Mechanisms of Action:
- Rhizosphere Activation: The citrate component stimulates beneficial microbial activity around the roots and releases bound nutrients (phosphorus, iron, zinc) from the soil, making them more available for plant uptake.
- Calcium Transport: Calcium forms soluble citrate complexes that move easily through the xylem and penetrate plant tissues, ensuring efficient calcium delivery to leaves, flowers, and fruits.
- Chelated Calcium Transport: Ca-citrate complexes remain soluble, moving through xylem and penetrating the cuticle.
- Mild Rhizosphere Acidification: Citrate releases insoluble phosphates and micronutrients.
- Microbial Synergy: Organic acid serves as a carbon source for PGPR (plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria), enhancing nutrient cycling.
Plant Health Support:
- Structural Cross-linking: Ca²⁺ bridges pectin chains in the middle-lamella, strengthening cell walls.
- Ca-signalling Cascade: Transient Ca²⁺ spikes activate defense genes (PAL, chitinase, SOD, CAT).
Benefits of CALCILIX®:
- Corrects or prevents calcium deficiency, stunted growth, and reduced yields
- Promotes strong plant cell growth
- Improves resistance to stress, drought, and disease
- Balances soil salinity
- Improves water penetration through soil
Why Choose CALCILIX®?
- Balances soil pH
- Reduces acidity and buffers saline soils, creating a more neutral environment for beneficial bacteria, fungi, and earthworms
Calcium Deficiency: Weakens cell walls, disrupts normal leaf and fruit development, and makes plants more sensitive to stress. Regular application of calcium, such as through calcium citrate, helps maintain strong cell structure, healthy growth, and improved post-harvest quality.

- Dual mode of action: strengthens plant structure and enhances nutrient uptake
- Supports plant health and stress resistance
- Improves fruit quality and shelf life
