Calcium Nitrate
Calcium Nitrate
Calcium Nitrate [Ca(NO₃)₂·4H₂O] is a high-quality, fully water-soluble fertilizer that supplies plants with readily available calcium and nitrogen in the nitrate form. Calcium strengthens cell walls, improves fruit firmness, and prevents physiological disorders like blossom end rot in tomato and bitter pit in apple. Nitrate nitrogen promotes rapid vegetative growth and enhances nutrient uptake. Calcium Nitrate is ideal for fertigation, hydroponics, and foliar application, making it a preferred choice for modern agriculture.

Key Features & Benefits
1)Dual nutrient source: readily available Calcium (Ca) and Nitrate Nitrogen (N).
2)100% water-soluble, ideal for fertigation and foliar sprays.
3)Improves fruit firmness, shelf life, and transportability.
4)Prevents and corrects calcium-related disorders (blossom end rot, bitter pit, tip burn, etc.).
5)Promotes strong root growth and healthier plant structure.
6)Enhances nutrient uptake efficiency of other fertilizers.
7)Free from chloride and sodium – safe for sensitive crops.
8)Suitable for soil-less cultivation and hydroponics.
