Keylamax® Calcium

Keylamax® Calcium 8%: Fruit Firmness and Shelf Life

Keylamax® Calcium is a high-density liquid foliar fertilizer derived from a calcium amino acid chelate. It is formulated to correct and prevent calcium deficiencies by ensuring this vital, typically immobile, nutrient reaches the fruit and new growth with maximum efficiency. Mil Agro states that Keylamax Calcium delivers 50% more calcium per gallon compared to other brands due to its superior density.

Key Benefits for Quality and Structure

Calcium is critical for cell wall structure and integrity. Keylamax Calcium ensures:

• Premium Fruit Quality: It increases the weight, resistance, and firmness of the fruits.
• Extended Shelf Life: By strengthening the cell wall structure, it extends the shelf life of the fruit.
• Prevent Defects: It is designed to avoid blossom end rot in the fruit.
• Optimized Plant Functions: It promotes cell lengthening and participates in stomatal regulation.
• Improved Fruit Set: It helps decrease flower abscission (the premature drop of flowers).

The Keylamax Mobility Advantage

Calcium is one of the slowest-moving minerals in the plant, up to 20 times slower than nitrogen. Once absorbed by a leaf, it is considered immobile.

Keylamax’s amino acid chelation technology overcomes this limitation:

• Rapid Translocation: By binding the mineral, the plant recognizes the complex as an organic molecule (a protein), allowing it to move rapidly and freely through the phloem (the plant’s circulatory system).
• Targeted Delivery: This ensures calcium moves quickly from older leaves to where it is needed most: new growth and developing fruit.

Superior Concentration (The Density Advantage)

Due to its high density (1.4) compared to competitors (maximum 1.22), Keylamax Calcium contains a significantly higher concentration of complexed calcium (112 g/l vs. 73.2 g/l). This means growers can achieve the same effect by applying 1/3 less product or, better yet, apply the same rate knowing 50% more calcium is getting into the plant.

Available in 1 liter, 4 liter, 2.5 gallon, 10 liter, 275 gallon, and 1,000 liter.
