Multiplex Chlorocal (Calcium Chloride) – Corrects Calcium Deficiency

• ? Stops Bitter Pit (Apples): Strengthens the cell walls in the fruit skin, preventing the brown sunken spots that destroy market value during cold storage.
• ? Prevents Spongy Tissue (Mango): Protects the mango pulp from heat damage and breakdown, ensuring the fruit remains firm and edible inside.
• ? Prevents Fruit Cracking: Makes the peel of Citrus, Pomegranate, and Tomato more elastic, so it stretches instead of bursting during sudden rains.
• ⏳ Extends Shelf Life: Acts as "cement" for plant cells. Firmer fruit rots slower, allowing you to store produce longer and sell when prices are high.
• ? Nitrogen-Free Formula: Unlike Calcium Nitrate, this product contains NO Nitrogen. This is perfect for the harvest stage because Nitrogen makes fruit soft and green, while you want them hard and colored.

Plants have a "plumbing problem" with Calcium. It moves easily from roots to leaves (via water) but struggles to move into the fruit. This is why you can have healthy leaves but rotting fruit.

1. The Bypass: Multiplex Chlorocal bypasses the roots. When sprayed on the fruit, it enters directly through microscopic pores in the skin.
2. The Cement: Once inside, Calcium binds with Pectin to form Calcium Pectate. This acts like "cement" between cells, holding them together firmly so they don't collapse or crack.
3. The Shield: It stabilizes the cell membrane, preventing leakage and making the fruit resistant to heat stress and breakdown.

The Golden Rule: Calcium Chloride is a salt. Do NOT spray during the hot sun (>30°C) or you will burn the leaves. Spray in the evening.

*Tip: Always use a wetting agent (like Maxiwet) to ensure the spray sticks to the waxy fruit skin.

• Timing: Spray only in the cool hours (early morning or late evening). High heat causes rapid evaporation and "salt burn" on leaves.
• Mixing: Do NOT mix with fertilizers containing Phosphorus (like DAP) or Sulfur (Magnesium Sulfate). They will react and clog your sprayer.
• Coverage: Direct the nozzle at the fruit, not just the leaves. The calcium needs to touch the fruit skin to work.
• Safety: This powder absorbs water from the air. Close the packet tightly after use or it will turn into liquid mush.
