Calcium Nitrate Ca(NO3)2

PRIUS^®

CALCIUM NITRATE Ca(NO₃)₂

Composition: Total Nitrogen by wt. 15.5%, Nitrate Nitrogen (as N) by wt. 14.0%, Ammonical Nitrogen by wt. 1.1%, Water Soluble calcium by wt. 18.8%, Water insoluble by wt. 1.5%.

Calcium levels in the plant directly control many enzymatic reactions & enhance the uptake of Nitrate Nitrogen (N). Nitrate ions enhance the uptake of Calcium in plants. Calcium deficiency leads to decrease in the development of terminal shoot buds & root tips which inhibits plant growth. It also causes chlorosis & distortion of new leaves. Calcium is essential in cell elongation & division. Calcium also facilitates uptake of Potash (K) over Sodium (Na). Uptake of Calcium is difficult in highly leached & highly acidic soils. Excess of calcium in soil can cause deficiency of Potash (K) & some micronutrients like zinc.

Benefits:

Since Calcium Nitrate has excellent water solubility, its highly soluble nitrogen & calcium are both immediately available to plants. This fertilizer can be used to correct plant deficiency of Calcium & to correct high soil pH. Boost growth of recommended crops. Calcium Nitrate improves blossom and rot of Tomatoes & bitter lits of Apples.
