CALCIUM CYANAMIDE «PERLKA®»

Technological potential of Perlka®: a biochemical approach to nutrition

The mineral fertilizer "CALCIUM CYANAMIDE «PERLKA®»" from the German concern AlzChem Trostberg (Dr.-Albert-Frank-Str.) is a highly specialized tool for intensive agriculture. The key feature of the product is the prolonged nitrogen transformation. Unlike standard urea-based compositions, Perlka® ensures gradual nitrogen release (19.8% N) in the amide form, which minimizes leaching risks and provides nutrition throughout the prolonged vegetation period.

The role of calcium and soil impact mechanism

The core of the preparation is calcium, which performs a structural function. By becoming part of cell walls (calcium pectinates), this element radically increases the density of vegetable and root crop tissues. For potatoes, beets, and corn, this means improved shelf life and resistance to mechanical damage during transport. The technical advantage of the product lies in its ability to influence soil pH in the application zone, suppressing the development of soil-borne pathogens and accelerating the humification of organic residues.

Application practice: from base fertilization to plant health

The granular form of the fertilizer allows for mechanized application both as base nutrition and localized treatment. The efficiency of Perlka® on winter rapeseed and cereals is explained not only by its nutritional impact but also by its phytosanitary effect: during the conversion of calcium cyanamide in the soil, chemical reactions occur that temporarily limit the population of soil pests and weeds.

• Nitrogen pool: 19.8% N in a stable granule.
• Structural integrity: optimization of calcium metabolism in cells.
• Biodiversity: improvement of soil physicochemical properties.
• Hazard class 3: requires standard safety protocols for handling mineral fertilizers.

Recommended for use on potatoes, vegetables, and industrial rapeseed crops to achieve high-quality produce with excellent commercial properties.
