| Tomatoes / Peppers | 3 - 5 x starting after first flowering repeat in 7 - 10 day intervals | 5 l/ha |
| Lettuce | start 2 - 3 weeks after planting repeat in 7 - 10 day intervals (reduction of tip-burn incidence) | 5 l/ha |
| Brassicas (Cabbage, Cauliflower) | start early before head formation repeat in 7 - 10 day intervals (reduction of internal browning) | 5 l/ha |
| Kiwifruit | 3 x during fruit enlargement in order to increase calcium fruit content and improve storage quality | 5 l/ha (water volume: 1.500 l/ha) |
*5 - 8 l/ha in at approx. 500 l water/ha. Application at the beginning of August respectively 3 - 5 weeks before harvest in intervals of at least 8
days. The frequency of application depends on bitter pit sensibility and bitter pit risk (fruit load, fruit size, etc.). Last application shortly before
harvest. For early calcium applications we recommend the highly compatible suspension Complesal Care pro, which also decreases russetting.
