What is the proper fertilizers dosage to prevent this?

Young leaf fail to open properly,current fertilizers dosage 20g/plant 15-15-15 every 10days and 10g nitrabor (calcium nitrate + boron)every 10 days ; alternate 5 days between npk and nitrabor

Agree with Suresh. For calcium deficiency, other than applying nitrabor on the soil, please do foliar spraying with Calcium(product such as calcium nitrate, calcium magnesium Boron, etc) for faster recovery.

Apparently the problem was due to excess nitrogen in the soil due to the native soil was already rich in nitrogen,a result of almost 20 years of decomposed leaves. I did not put any NPK for 20 days but nitrabor still remains at recommended dosage and it solved the deficiency.

Foliar alone was not successful in correcting the deficiency but a cutdown on nitrogen dosage+ foliar manage to help correcting the deficiency
