CalMATE is a highly effective humic acid solution extracted from leonardite and fermented with natural sugars. This balanced formulation provides both high and low molecular weight humic acids that bind with essential nutrients, improving plant uptake and utilisation. CalMATE contains AgroBest’s proprietary Organic Acid Complex, modifying carbohydrates into organic calcium salts that the plant easily recognises and assimilates. This enhances calcium absorption, reduces stress, and promotes photosynthesis and productivity across a wide range of crops.

CalMATE Humic Acid Solution integrates humic and fulvic acids with AgroBest’s Organic Acid Complex, offering a plant-preferred form of calcium that enhances nutrient uptake and stress tolerance. The formulation promotes root and shoot growth, supports photosynthesis, and improves fertiliser efficiency while maintaining compatibility with most fertilisers and calcium products.
How does CalMATE improve calcium uptake, stress tolerance, and nutrient efficiency?
CalMATE works by utilising humic and fulvic acids in combination with AgroBest’s Organic Acid Complex to optimise calcium availability and overall nutrient uptake. Its modified organic acids form calcium salts that plants readily absorb, resulting in improved metabolism and resilience. The main benefits include:
Regular application of CalMATE results in improved calcium nutrition, enhanced stress tolerance, and greater crop uniformity. It can be safely used across all horticultural, broadacre, and pasture systems, and integrates seamlessly into both conventional and organic programs.
