Calcium Nitrate Greenhouse Grade 1 lb.

Calcium Nitrate is a fully water soluble nitrogen and calcium fertilizer. It is a free flowing, fine granular or prilled material which dissolves quickly in water without any residues.

Calcium Nitrate is suited to application through all fertigation systems - hydroponics, drip systems, low volume sprinklers, center pivots and spray units.

Calcium Nitrate is free of chlorine and sodium.

Calcium Nitrate fertilizer is directly available for plant uptake, resulting in fast and predictable growth responses. Non-volatile nor adsorbed to soil particles, leaving it readily available to plants. Nitrate is the preferred nitrogen source for most horticultural and high value agricultural crops. Improves plant uptake of the cations potassium, calcium and magnesium.

Calcium improves cell wall strength, leading to better quality, shelf life and increases marketable crop yields. Cell wall strength, helping plants tolerate disease. Helps to maintain an optimum root environment for high yielding crops. Tolerance to heat stress.

Compatibility

Derived from Ammonium Calcium Nitrate Double Salt, can be mixed with all water soluble fertilizers, except stock solutions containing either phosphate or sulphate.

Calcium deficiency

Blossom end rot in tomatoes, tip burn in lettuce, internal rust spot in potatoes are some of the most commonly seen symptoms of calcium deficiency. Calcium uptake takes place passively through the transpiration stream, and it is essential that a fully water soluble supply of calcium is available in the rootzone when plants need it most.

One gram dissolved in one gallon of water yields 41 ppm nitrate nitrogen and 50 ppm calcium.
