Calcium Nitrate

Calcium nitrate, also called Norgessalpeter (Norwegian saltpeter), is the inorganic compound. Calcium Nitrate is a water-soluble fertilizer, which is a very important source of secondary nutrient- Calcium for plants. The deficit of which will cause many physiological disorders both qualitatively and quantitatively in crops. Calcium enhances uptake of NO3 –N and therefore is interrelated with Nitrogen metabolism. Calcium is essential for cell elongation and division thus plays key role in the growth of terminal buds of shoot and apical tips of roots.

This colorless salt absorbs moisture from the air and is commonly found as a tetrahydrate. The fertilizer grade of Calcium Nitrate, Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (commonly known as CAN) is popular in the greenhouse and hydroponics trades. It is frequently used in sewage treatment and in the manufacture of commercial explosives and Coco-Peat.

Main Advantages :

• It contains Nitrogen & Calcium, & also supplies Nitrogen to the plant quickly

• The nutrient is more than Ammonium Nitrate, & can be absorbed by the plant directly.

• It can change the pH value of the soil, loose the soil, reduce the density of active aluminum. Meanwhile it offers water soluble calcium & improve the resistance to the disease of plant.

• It can lengthen the florescence, promote the root, stem, leaf to grow normally. Ensuring the colour of the fruit is bright & the fruit candy can be increased.

• Boost growth of crops

• Cell elongation & division

• Facilitates uptake of potash (K) over sodium (NA)

• Corrects plant deficiencies in calcium & high soil PH

• Highly water Soluble. Ideal fertilizer for both soil and foliar applications.

• Cures Calcium deficiency in the crops quickly.

• Improves Soil health and create favorable environment for friendly micro organisms.

• Improves tolerance to diseases, pests and environmental stress.

• Environmentally friendly fertilizer (Non acidifying and non volatile).
