Grain Filling — Weight and Eating Quality
Grain filling sets 1000-grain weight and eating quality, and depends on potassium to move assimilates into the grain. Insufficient potassium raises the share of empty husks.

A high-potassium fertilizer with calcium for fruiting, coloring and pre-harvest stages: better color, more sweetness and less cracking.
赫爾曼赫鉀赫稼(NPK 15-6-25+Ca)是原裝進口的高鉀含鈣機能肥,獨家調配 25% 超高成分水溶性鉀與高效優質鈣,專為香米、茄科(番茄、青椒、甜椒)與瓜果的轉色增甜期設計。具備施肥不葉燒的純淨質地,全面提升甜度、香氣、肉質扎實度與耐儲運能力。
From fruit sizing through color break, 25% potassium drives sugar accumulation and filling, while calcium supports cell walls, firmness and transport quality.
Suitable for tomato, pepper, melons, guava and aromatic rice quality stages. Calcium management should be paired with steady irrigation and avoidance of wet-dry swings.
Developed for Taiwan’s climate, soils and cropping needs. See the full stage-by-stage guide for each crop:

Hejia Hejia is recommended at the following growth stages. Open a stage for the full guidance.
Grain filling sets 1000-grain weight and eating quality, and depends on potassium to move assimilates into the grain. Insufficient potassium raises the share of empty husks.
Full Rice guide →Post-harvest softening traces back to insufficient tissue density and potassium. Potassium raises turgor and structural strength, directly affecting how produce survives transport and shelf time.
Sweetness and color are governed by potassium, which moves sugars into the fruit, while calcium strengthens cell walls and skin — the key to reducing cracking and blossom-end rot. A high-potassium, calcium-containing formula with stable irrigation works best here.
Full Melons & Fruiting Veg guide →Sweetness and coloring are governed largely by potassium, which transports and accumulates sugars produced in the leaves into the fruit. HERMEN Hejia Hejia (NPK 15-6-25 + Ca) carries 25% highly water-soluble potassium for the color-break and sweetening window, lifting sugar, aroma and color. Its high-efficiency calcium supports fruit firmness and transport durability, in a clean formulation that will not scorch foliage.
Blossom-end rot is not a pathogen but a shortfall or transport failure of calcium during fruit development, aggravated when water supply swings. Hejia Hejia supplies high-efficiency calcium in water-soluble form for regular application through fruit development. Pairing it with steady irrigation, avoiding wet-dry extremes, makes the difference far more pronounced.
Cracking comes from insufficient skin strength combined with sharp changes in water status. Calcium strengthens cell walls and skin elasticity while potassium regulates fruit water balance; when both are adequate, cracking incidence generally falls. Apply Hejia Hejia continuously from fruit sizing onward alongside stable irrigation management.
Sugar content depends on potassium accumulated before maturity; continuing with nitrogen-led nutrition at this point grows the tree rather than the sugar. Switch to a high-potassium formula late in fruit sizing. The 25% water-soluble potassium in Hejia Hejia is taken up quickly, and its calcium adds flesh firmness, giving fruit both sweetness and texture with better storage life.
Aroma and eating quality in rice are closely tied to potassium supply during grain filling — with enough potassium, grains fill fully and eating quality improves. Hejia Hejia is imported ready-formulated with 25% water-soluble potassium and high-efficiency calcium; applied during grain filling it supports aroma, flesh density and storage durability together.
