Calcium is a major element used to make cell wall and membranes. Calcium is available in the middle wall of cell structure and tissue of plant as calcium pectate compound and pectin wall is protected against destruction as long as there is a sufficient content of calcium pectate. Limited availability of calcium has a significant negative effect on mitosis as well as cell wall sustainability and penetrability. Calcium-rich fruits are more suitable for transportation. At least 60% of plants calcium content is found in the cell wall, which protects the cells against microbes trying to enter into the cell by breaking the cell wall. Furthermore, calcium causes cell membrane contraction, and eventually, less cell water loss. Increasing fruit calcium content results in an increase in fruit durability, resistance against physiologic diseases such as bitter stain and blossom end rot.

Fully water soluble phosphorus (PO3) source allows for exceptionally rapid uptake and absorption when applied as a foliar. Conventional phosphate products will be mobilised in the plant through the xylem. Omex DP98 will however translocate phosphorus through both the phloem and the xylem and thereby supplying essential phosphorus to the root zone and the crop canopy.
