Calcium is a primary constituent of all cell walls and membranes. Restrictions in the availability of calcium will adversely affect cell division, impair the structural stability and the permeability of cell walls. Increasing fruit calcium promotes longer storage life and resists a range of physiological break down conditions including water core, bitter pit and internal browning.
Boron is actively involved in the transport of sugars across cell walls and the synthesis of cell wall material. Because of the impact on cell development, boron deficiencies will retard new growth and development.
Calcium is linked to plant vigour, root development, berry formation and fruit quality, boron for improved flower retention, pollination and fruit set, while nitrogen supports canopy development.
