Chlorocal Calcium 27% by Multiplex
Chlorocal is a calcium chloride powder supplying calcium at 27%. It has separate foliar and drip directions for crop nutrition. Match the method to the supplied powder pack and the crop’s calcium need.
Nutrient source: Calcium chloride.
Crop scope: Cereals, oats, legumes, brassicas, tomato, groundnut, tobacco, cotton, tea, mango, citrus, grapevine, apple and flowers.
Application routes: Foliar spray and drip irrigation, with separate quantities.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌱Calcium supply: Provides a secondary plant nutrient.
- 🧱Cell-wall support: Calcium is part of plant cell-wall structure.
- 🍃Tissue development: Adequate calcium supports normal plant tissues.
- 🔄Nutrient balance: Calcium contributes to normal transport and retention of other elements.
- 📋Purposeful use: Assess calcium need and follow crop-specific directions rather than treating every symptom as a deficiency.

How It Works
Chlorocal supplies calcium as calcium chloride. Use it within a crop-specific nutrition programme where additional calcium is needed. This is nutrient support, not an insecticide or disease-control programme.
- Nutrient source: Calcium chloride supplies calcium.
- Plant structure: Calcium contributes to cell-wall structure and tissue strength.
- Crop response: Benefits depend on crop need, uptake and other growing conditions.
Crops & Plant Support
Use only for the listed crop scope and an established nutrient need. A general crop listing does not mean that every field needs treatment.
| Crop / use | Supported purpose |
|---|---|
| Cereals, oats, legumes, brassicas, tomato, groundnut, tobacco, cotton, tea, mango, citrus, grapevine, apple and flowers |

Multiplex describes calcium-related support for bitter-pit management and keeping quality in apples, reduced spongy tissue in mangoes and reduced fruit cracking in lemons. Its Hindi leaflet also describes adequate calcium supply as helping prevent blossom-end rot in tomato. Confirm the cause of symptoms and manage wider growing conditions; these statements do not promise repair of damaged fruit or control of every rot or cracking problem.
Application Guide
The following manufacturer directions apply only to this exact product. Check the supplied pack before measuring or mixing.
Calcium nutrition is not the same as fungicide treatment. Do not assume that every damaged fruit or discoloured leaf is caused by calcium deficiency.
Recommended Nutrient Application
| Crop scope | Product and water quantity | Method | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manufacturer-listed crops where calcium is needed | 4–5 g per litre of water | Foliar spray | General programme: 2–3 sprays in the crop season; confirm crop stage, interval and repeat limits on the supplied pack. |
| Manufacturer-listed crops where the pack permits drip use | 3–5 kg per acre | Drip irrigation using the matching powder-pack directions | Confirm crop stage, water volume and irrigation-system instructions on the supplied pack. |
Keep the foliar concentration separate from the drip quantity per acre. Confirm the drip water volume and system instructions before application. Do not use the soil-application recipe for granular calcium chloride as a powder-pack direction.
A foliar concentration does not establish a per-acre spray quantity. The manufacturer also describes post-harvest apple use, but a complete fruit-treatment and handling protocol is needed before treating harvested produce.
Confirm crop precautions, total applications, protective measures and any harvest instructions on the pack. No zero-day harvest interval, universal tank-mix compatibility or guaranteed yield is claimed.
For 20 litres of foliar spray water, the stated 4–5 g per litre concentration requires 80–100 g of Chlorocal. This is arithmetic scaling, not a per-acre quantity. No mango marble/egg-stage schedule, universal 30°C cutoff or mandatory wetting agent is established here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check the need: Assess the crop’s calcium requirement and other nutrient inputs.
- Choose the route: Match Chlorocal calcium chloride powder to its foliar or drip instructions. Keep powder and granular-product directions separate.
- Measure accurately: For foliar use, dissolve 4–5 g in one litre of water. For drip use, the product quantity is 3–5 kg per acre; confirm the water and irrigation-system programme on the supplied pack.
- Plan and record: The general foliar programme is 2–3 sprays during the crop season. Confirm crop stage and interval, and record application dates and quantities. Do not transfer this schedule to drip use.
Chlorocal is calcium chloride, not calcium nitrate; calcium nitrate also supplies nitrogen. Choose according to the complete nutrient programme. Do not assume compatibility with boron, other fertilizers, pesticides or wetting agents. The recommended concentration is not a no-leaf-injury guarantee under every crop, weather or mixture condition.

Safety & Disclaimer
Before use, read the exact supplied pack and confirm crop, need, product quantity, dilution, method and timing. Seek crop-specific agronomic advice if the diagnosis or instructions are unclear.
Use the protective equipment stated on the pack. Avoid breathing dust or spray and prevent contact with eyes and skin. Keep children, animals, food and feed away, and wash after handling.
Store in the original closed, labelled container as directed. Prevent contamination of waterways. Follow disposal instructions and do not reuse the container. Results depend on crop need and field conditions.
This is an agricultural fertilizer, not food-grade calcium chloride or an edible ingredient. Obtain complete treatment and handling directions before treating harvested produce.
