FoliQ X-Cal
is a precision fertiliser for foliar and fruit nutrition with calcium.
Lignins are a group of chemical compounds belonging to polyphenols, present in plant cells. They are complex organic substances with intricate and resistant structures, imparting plants with their characteristic strength and rigidity. Lignins constitute a significant component of plant cell walls. It is generally accepted that cellulose accounts for 40-60% and lignin for 20-30% of the dry mass of vascular plants.
The functions of lignin in plants include:
Alongside cellulose, lignins provide cell walls with strength and rigidity, enabling plants to maintain their structure even in challenging environmental conditions.
Lignins participate in plant defense against pathogens by hindering the penetration of microorganisms into plant tissues.
Lignins in conducting tissues like wood aid in the transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant.
Lignins can shield plants from environmental stresses such as drought and extreme temperatures.
Lignins impede consumption of plant tissues by insects and animals, acting as a defense mechanism against herbivores.
Lignins influence developmental processes in plants, including cell differentiation and tissue structure formation.
Through the formation of complexes with soil minerals, they improve soil structure. The fertiliser acts as a binding substance, influencing soil permeability, water retention, and erosion risk reduction, thereby enhancing nutrient availability for plants. This strengthens and secures the root system, stems, and leaves of the plant, making it less susceptible to harmful substances and pathogens.
Compared to salt or synthetic chelate fertilisers, they offer a richer source of nutrients. They feature a 2-in-1 progressive nutrient uptake form: both rapidly available to plants (within 3 hours) and slower-acting, building a reserve of active substances. They form natural chelating compounds that accelerate nutrient transport and availability.
Due to their natural adjuvant, dispersing, and emulsifying properties, they enhance nutrient uptake by plants. This allowed us to develop technology for lower fertiliser doses per hectare – starting from 1 liter per 1 hectare.
Unlike synthetic chelates, they biodegrade rapidly, not lingering in the soil, while simultaneously building a beneficial soil microflora that promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms.
They confer potent penetration and adhesion properties to the spray solution on leaves and treated plant fruits, while leaving no residue.
