A targeted foliar nutrition programme using OMEX DP98 and OMEX CalMax has significantly improved dragon fruit yield, fruit quality and Brix levels in Hainan, China. By optimising phosphorus and calcium availability during key growth stages, growers have achieved stronger root systems, improved fruit set and enhanced marketable yield.
Why Use OMEX DP98 for Dragon Fruit?
OMEX DP98 is a fully water-soluble foliar phosphorus fertiliser designed for rapid plant uptake and maximum efficiency.
Key Benefits of OMEX DP98:
- Improved plant nutrient health and disease resistance
- Improved rooting action
- Increased fruit set
- Higher solids content
- Increased yield
- Post harvest quality enhancements
- Improved foliar uptake of cations (ie K, Ca, Mg, Mn)
Phosphorus plays a central role in plant energy transfer and overall crop performance. In dragon fruit production, low phosphorus levels can lead to:
- Slow vegetative growth
- Poor flowering and fruit set
- Reduced sugar accumulation (low Brix)
- Lower overall yields
Applying OMEX DP98 as part of a strategic foliar nutrition programme ensures essential phosphorus is available exactly when the crop demands it most.
Why Use OMEX CalMax for Calcium Nutrition?
OMEX CalMax is a high-performance calcium fertiliser formulated to improve calcium uptake, correct deficiencies and enhance plant resilience under stress conditions.
Key Benefits of OMEX CalMax:
- Improves calcium nutrition in fruiting crops
- Strengthens cell walls in stems, roots and fruit
- Reduces the impact of heat stress
- Enhances plant vigour and structural integrity
- Supports enzyme activation and natural defence responses
- Improves nutrient recovery and uptake efficiency
Calcium is essential for strong cell structure and fruit firmness. In dragon fruit crops, calcium deficiency can result in:
- Weak plant growth
- Slow shoot and root development
- Increased susceptibility to biotic stress
- Reduced fruit quality and shelf life
When applied as a foliar treatment, OMEX CalMax helps maintain healthy growth, improve fruit firmness and support consistent yield performance — particularly under high-temperature conditions common in regions such as Hainan.
Optimised Foliar Nutrition for Higher Yields
Combining OMEX DP98 and OMEX CalMax delivers a balanced foliar nutrition strategy that supports:
- Improved dragon fruit quality
- Higher yields
- Enhanced Brix levels
- Better stress tolerance
- Stronger root and canopy development
For growers seeking to maximise productivity and fruit quality, OMEX foliar fertilisers provide a reliable, scientifically formulated solution.
