Nitrogen Fertilizer Calcium Nitrate 1 kg

A calcium deficiency in plants manifests as stunted root system development; root hairs cease to form on the roots, through which the plant receives the bulk of its nutrients and water from the soil.
With a calcium deficiency, roots become slimy and rot, chlorosis appears on the leaves, and stem growth ceases.
On acidic soils, the application of calcium eliminates excess iron and manganese. Calcium promotes better nitrogen uptake by plants.
Calcium nitrate also prevents blossom end rot in tomatoes, leaf scorch in lettuce, and other diseases associated with calcium deficiency.

It is best to apply it to the soil as a liquid fertilizer.

Root fertilization:

- strawberries (before flowering begins) - solution concentration 1.5–3.0 g/L (25 g packet per 8–15 L of water) 1–2 times;

- vegetable and ornamental crops - 1.5–2.5 g/L (one packet per 10–15 L of water) before flowering, at 10–15-day intervals;

- Fruit trees in spring before bud break: 2.5 g/L (one 25-g packet per 10 L of water) per 1 m² of the tree’s root zone.

For foliar feeding, use a 1.5–2.5% solution; the application rate depends on the crop type and vegetative mass:

- Vegetables, flowers, and strawberries: 1.0–1.5 L per 10 m²;

- shrubs - 1.5–2 L per bush; fruit trees - 2 to 8 L per tree.

Calcium nitrate must not be mixed with simple superphosphate; it can be mixed with other fertilizers before application to the soil.
