Calcium is an important nutrient for the normal root development as well as the vegetative mass development, it strengthens cell walls thus contributing to healthier plants and crop quality. The presence of both plant-available forms of nitrogen promotes longer and more uniform nutrition. It is especially recommended for the fertigation of greenhouse crops and as a preventive measure against diseases caused by calcium deficiency.
Calcium Nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂)
Calcium nitrate is a fully watersoluble granular fertilizer for fertigation in greenhouse and field crops, with the highest calcium (as watersoluble calcium oxide 26.3%) and nitrogen (NO3 14,4%, NH4 1,1%) content.
- Fully absorbable plant nutrients
- In addition to its nutritive properties, calcium has a regenerating effect on the soil. It allows the release of nutrients which are bound to clay particles in the soil and thus contributes to maintaining the porous structure of soil.
- Nutrient solution for drip irrigation: 0,05 – 1,5 kg / 1000 l of water;
- Hydroponic solutions: 1 kg Ca(NO3)2 / 1000 l of water (1 l of solution supplies the plant with 155 mg of nitrogen and 190 mg of calcium);
- Foliar application: 500-800 g / 100 l of water; maximum 10 applications per season.
Foliar or direct application is also recommended for orchards and lawns on golf courses.
The nutrient solution may be mixed with other fertilizers containing magnesium or potassium, with the same anions (nitrate), but should not be mixed with products containing phosphate or sulfate anions.
