Valagro Axilo Ca is compatible with a wide range of fertilizers and pesticides, however, a compatibility jar test should be performed before mixing, especially with phosphorous fertilizers. Valagro Axilo Ca is 10% chelated calcium (Ca) for corrections of calcium deficiencies. The Axilo line (100% EDTA-chelated) of water-soluble micro-granule micronutrients are characterized by improved plant availability, handling convenience, shelf-life stability, high solubility and tank-mix/low spray volume compatibility compared to other products on the market.Calcium stimulates root and leaf formation. 100 percent EDTA-chelated dry micro-granules Highly soluble for easy dispersion Excellent foliar uptake Compatible with poly and ortho phosphate starters Excellent nutrient availability when soil applied Curative and preventative action Superior tank-mix compatibility Labeled for ground and low-volume aerial applications Calcium plays a crucial role in plant growth and development, serving as a fundamental secondary nutrient. It is vital for maintaining cell wall structure by forming calcium pectate compounds which give stability to cell walls and promote normal cell development. Calcium also plays a key role in signal transduction pathways within plants, facilitating responses to environmental cues and stress. Additionally, it aids in the regulation of enzyme activities and nutrient transport within the plant. A deficiency in calcium manifests as various growth abnormalities, most notably in the youngest tissues of the plant. This includes stunted root growth, curled leaves, and necrotic leaf margins or tips. Blossom end rot in tomatoes and capsicums, a common issue caused by calcium deficiency, exemplifies the importance of calcium in fruit development. These deficiency symptoms arise because calcium is immobile in plants, and thus, new tissues suffer first when calcium levels are insufficient.
