Chemical compound
Calcium nitrate, also called Norgessalpeter, is an inorganic compound with the formula Ca(NO₃)₂.
This colourless salt absorbs moisture from the air and is commonly found as a tetrahydrate.
It is mainly used as a component in fertilizers but has other applications.
It helps with cell formation but it also neutralizes acids to detoxify the plant.
The nitrogen component is also responsible for fueling protein production and essentially leafy growth.
Heat and moisture stress can cause calcium deficiencies in certain crops, like tomatoes.
