Calcium Nitrate is a premium, fully water-soluble, white granular fertilizer containing 15.5% total nitrogen (N) and 18.5% calcium (Ca). It is widely used in agriculture and horticulture as a fast-acting source of both nitrogen and calcium, two essential nutrients for healthy crop growth. The nitrogen is in nitrate form, making it immediately available for plant uptake, while the calcium strengthens plant cell walls, improving overall plant health, fruit firmness, and shelf life.
Calcium Nitrate is especially effective in preventing and correcting calcium deficiencies, such as blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers, tip burn in lettuce, and bitter pit in apples.
Dual Nutrient Source: Supplies readily available nitrate nitrogen and soluble calcium.
Improves Cell Wall Strength: Enhances fruit firmness, storability, and transportability.
Prevents Deficiencies: Corrects calcium-related disorders like blossom end rot, bitter pit, and leaf tip burn.
High Solubility: Completely dissolves in water, suitable for fertigation, foliar feeding, and hydroponics.
Neutral to Slightly Alkaline pH: Helps stabilize acidic soils and is compatible with most fertilizer programs.
Fertigation: Highly efficient in drip and sprinkler irrigation systems for vegetables, fruits, and flowers.
Foliar Feeding: Quick absorption through leaves for rapid correction of deficiencies.
Hydroponics: Commonly used as part of nutrient formulations for controlled environment agriculture.
Soil Application: Can be blended with other granular fertilizers or applied directly.
Fertigation: 510 kg/acre per application depending on crop stage and deficiency severity.
Foliar Spray: 0.5% 1% solution (510 g/l) applied during critical growth stages.
Hydroponics: Used based on tailored nutrient recipes; always mix separately from phosphate or sulfate sources to prevent precipitation.
Note: Do not mix in concentrated stock solutions with fertilizers containing phosphates or sulfates to avoid precipitation. Perform a jar test before mixing with other products.
