Calcium nitrate fertilizer is a water-soluble chemical solution that provides plants with supplemental calcium and nitrogen. These elements are the physiological building blocks for strong, disease-resistant plants.
Calcium nitrate doesn’t occur in nature — it’s made by mixing inorganic calcium and nitrogen. This is done by combining limestone and nitric acid, followed by ammonia.
Advantage:
-
Prevents problems before they arise
-
Helps plants grow stronger
-
Allows plants to produce larger fruit
Types:
-
Granular Calcium Nitrate
-
Liquid Calcium Nitrate
-
Calcium Ammonium Nitrate
-
Calcium Nitrate with Boron
Application:
Crops: All Crops
Dosage :
Foliar application: 4-5 g/L of water
Fertigation: 1-3 kg/ac
Note: For fertigation, number of application depends on crop.
Fertigation: Use dosage based on results of the soil analysis, crop and its growth stage. However, do not mix with Phosphate and Sulphate containing fertilizers.
