Description

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 is 100 % water soluble complex fertiliser consisting of 15.5 % nitrogen (N) in readily available form and 18.5 % calcium (Ca). Calcium is one of the secondary nutrients important for crop production and has role in improving colour, lustre and quality of fruits; soil structure and water infiltration in soil and protection against pests and diseases.

1. Calcium is an important secondary nutrient for the growth of plants. Calcium Nitrate is an excellent source of calcium for crops.
2. In case of Calcium deficiency, and in acidic soils. It has a significant effect on crop growth, production as well as on quality.
3. It enhances the quality and prolonged shelf life of the produce in most of the crops.
4. It helps in the formation of new branches in plants, flowering, and fruit development, and helps to prevent fruit drop

Crops suitable for use

• For Fertigation: Grapes, Pomegranate, Banana, Cotton, Tomato, Onion, Sugarcane, Ginger, Turmeric, Watermelon, Floriculture and Protected Cultivation
• For Foliar application: All crops

Calcium Nitrate can be used as a foliar spray, soil application, or drip.

1. Soil application- It can be used in the range of 20 to 50 kg per acre as a basal application at sowing or at first irrigation. It can also be used at the time of growth and flowering as per the production capacity of the crop.
2. Spray- Calcium Nitrate can be sprayed in crops from pre-flowering to fruits formation. For spraying in a standing crop, use 5-10 grams of Calcium Nitrate per liter of water. It can be sprayed 2 or 3 times as per requirement at 10-15 days interval.
