Multiplex PRANAM-Ca: Bio-Derived Liquid Calcium Fertilizer
Stop fruit rotting and cracking with the power of nature. Multiplex PRANAM-Ca is a unique liquid calcium fertilizer derived from eggshells, designed to improve fruit quality and shelf life.
Calcium deficiency causes major losses like Blossom End Rot in tomatoes and cracking in pomegranates. PRANAM-Ca provides "Organic Calcium" extracted from eggshells, combined with Nitrogen and Boron. This bio-available formula strengthens plant cells, prevents physiological disorders, and supports the government's PM-PRANAM sustainable farming initiative.
Best For: Preventing Blossom End Rot, Fruit Cracking, Bitter Pit in Apples, and improving firmness in all fruits and vegetables.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Fast Absorption: Being a liquid organic chelate, it enters the fruit and leaves much faster than powder calcium (lime/gypsum).
- ?️Stops Disorders: Effectively cures and prevents Blossom End Rot (black spots on tomatoes) and fruit splitting/cracking.
- ⏳Better Shelf Life: Strengthens the skin and flesh of fruits, allowing them to stay fresh longer during transport and storage.
- ?️Eco-Friendly: Made from biological waste (Eggshells), it has a low salt index and is safe for the soil, unlike chemical nitrates.
- ?Triple Action: Enriched with Nitrogen (Growth) and Boron (Pollination), ensuring complete nutrition for the crop.

How It Works: Mode of Action
PRANAM-Ca works by reinforcing the structural integrity of the plant.
- Cell Strengthening: Calcium binds with Pectin in the cell walls to form "Calcium Pectate." This acts like cement, holding cells together so fruits don't crack under pressure.
- Synergy with Boron: Calcium needs Boron to function properly. The added Boron ensures the calcium is properly cemented into the cell wall and helps in pollen formation.
- Organic Chelation: Because the calcium comes from eggshells and is organically complexed, it bypasses the soil lock-up issues common with chemical calcium, ensuring the plant actually drinks it.
This results in firm, shiny, and disease-resistant produce.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop Category | Target Issues |
|---|---|
| Solanaceous (Tomato/Capsicum) | Blossom End Rot: Stops the bottom of the fruit from turning black and rotting. |
| Fruits (Pomegranate/Apple/Cherry) | Cracking & Bitter Pit: Prevents fruit splitting during rains and brown spots in apples. |
| Vegetables (Cauliflower/Potato) | Tip Burn & Skin Finish: Prevents leaf edges from burning and improves potato skin shine. |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Apply mainly as a Foliar Spray during Flowering and Fruit Setting stages.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Application | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Foliar Spray (Standard) | 600 ml | 200 L | 3.0 ml | 0 Days |
| Drip Irrigation | 1 - 1.5 L | - | - | 0 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: 0 Days means it is safe to harvest immediately after spraying (wash produce before use).
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Start spraying at the first sign of flowering. Repeat every 10-15 days during fruit development. Early calcium is critical!
- Mixing Warning:DO NOT MIX with Phosphorus fertilizers (DAP/MAP) or Sulphur (Magnesium Sulphate). It will turn into stone (precipitate) and clog your nozzle.
- Coverage: Calcium does not move well inside the plant. You must spray directly on the fruits and new leaves for it to work.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask) even though it is a bio-derived product.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is PRANAM-Ca made of?
It is made from poultry waste (Egg Shells), making it a sustainable biological source of calcium.
2. Does it fix Blossom End Rot?
Yes, it is highly effective. Spraying it directly on young tomato/capsicum fruits cures the calcium deficiency that causes the rot.
3. Can I mix it with 19:19:19?
No. 19:19:19 contains Phosphorus. Mixing Calcium and Phosphorus creates a solid precipitate. Apply them separately with a 4-5 day gap.
4. Does it contain Boron?
Yes, it contains 1% Boron. This helps with pollination and fruit setting, so you don't need to add extra Boron separately.
5. Is it organic?
It is "Bio-Derived" and eco-friendly with a low salt index, making it a great choice for sustainable and residue-free farming.
