Since Calcium Nitrate has excellent water solubility, its highly soluble Nitrogen & Calcium are both immediately available to plants. This fertiliser can be used to correct plant deficiencies in Calcium.
Calcium Nitrate reduces blossom end rot of tomatoes & bitter lits of apples.
Calcium Nitrate contains secondary nutrient Calcium (Ca) 18.5% min & Nitrate Nitrogen (N) 14.5% min. Calcium levels in the plant directly control many enzyme 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.
CONTENTS:
Total Nitrogen (N), min. - 14.5%
Nitrate Nitrogen, min. - 13.5%
Water Soluble Calcium (Ca), min. - 17.0%
Boron (B), min. - 0.2-0.3%.
APPLICATION:
Dissolve 2-3 g Calcium Nitrate per litre of water for foliar application. Use 1000 g-1500 g of Calcium Nitrate per hectare per spray. Apply 3- 4 sprays per crop.
Calcium Nitrate is also suitable for drip irrigation & soil application, ideal doses being 10 kg-25 kg per hectare per crop.Application of Calcium Nitrate along with Boron is recommended for better results and hence GOLDCAB is a product which contains Boron alongwith Calcium Nitrate.
