It is characterized by a low ammonium nitrogen content and the total absence of crystallization water (which can reach up to 30% in imported products).
The application of calcium nitrate enhances plant resistance to environmental stress factors, improves fruit quality, and extends shelf life.
The presence of calcium in an accessible form is essential throughout the entire growing season, as this element does not redistribute within the plant.
In open-field conditions, calcium nitrate is an excellent solution for acidic soils.
Crops
Vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers), fruit trees and shrubs, potatoes, sugar beets, cereals, and ornamental crops.
When to apply
At the beginning of the growing season (for active growth), during flowering and fruit formation (to prevent rot and improve quality), and throughout the season via drip irrigation.
How to apply
Root dressing through irrigation systems (fertigation), foliar application (spraying), and basal application during planting.
For which soils
Universal, but most effective on acidic and sodic (saline) soils. Helps neutralize excess acidity and improve the structure of heavy soils.
