Calbit C
Product overview
Calcium complexed with lignin sulphonate (LS).
- Promotes rapid translocation of calcium in fruits and flowers.
- Also safe for early treatment on very delicate plants.
- Miscible with most common with pesticides.
CALBIT C is a nutritional supplement based on calcium complexed with LS. CALBIT C is indicated for the prevention and treatment of:
- bitter pockmarks in apples;
- apical rot of tomatoes;
- rot (bruising) of peppers;
- desiccation of melon leaves;
- desiccation (tip burn) of lettuce, endives and escaroles,
- durian fruit cracking
Treatments with CALBIT C lead to increased fruit firmness and, consequently, longer shelf life.
CALBIT C is ideal for applying calcium fertigation due to the presence of LS complex that protects the same from insolubilisation reactions (LS-Calcium complex is stable at pH between 3 and 6.5).
If applied to the leaves, CALBIT C is not phytotoxic and does not cause russeting on the fruit susceptible to such physiological disorders (e.g.pome fruits fruits).

Valagro Technology Platform GeaPower
- Stably complexes trace elements with lignin and makes them into powder or water
Process of plant absorption of LSA trace elements from aqueous solution
- The aqueous solution can be quickly absorbed by the leaves without leaving any residue on the leaves.
- When the complex enters the leaf cells, lignin is separated from the trace elements and improves plant metabolism at the genetic level.
- Plants recognize lignin as a source of sugar. Therefore, trace elements are only released and used when they are needed. This allows us to prolong the effect of trace elements.
Note:
LSA trace elements - penetrate into cells and are separated and used by plants
Chelates are insoluble in water and cannot be absorbed by plant leaf cells. They can only be absorbed by plants when the leaf pores are open.
