Calcium nitrate is a fast-acting, unique fertilizer containing nitrate nitrogen and fully water-soluble calcium. It’s used for watering or foliar feeding all plants grown in greenhouses and gardens.
Calcium is a building material for plant cells and is necessary for the formation of new cells.
As a result of calcium deficiency, young leaves become deformed and pale, later drying out.
Calcium also affects the plants’ disease resistance and the preservation properties of flowers, berries, and vegetables.
It is especially suitable for fertilizing young plants, as well as for fertilizing plants in their final growing location.
Manual
Dissolve the powder in water and water the plants with the prepared solution, alternating with a fertilizer for tomatoes, cucumbers, or for flowers, berries, and vegetables.
Watering fertilization
- In the greenhouse: 1-20 g/10 l of watering water.
- Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers: foliar feeding at the beginning of fruit formation.
- In the open field: 10-20 g/10 l of watering water.
- Apple and pear trees: foliar feeding 5-6 weeks after flowering.
- Currants, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries: foliar feeding after flowering.
For foliar feeding with a 1% solution: 2 teaspoons per liter of water.
- When spraying, avoid hot, sunny weather and spray in cloudy weather, morning or evening.
- Regular, weekly sprayings are necessary during the fruit growth period because calcium is immobile within the plant.
- Apples are sprayed with a 0.5-1% solution, starting with the lower concentration from the beginning of June until three weeks before harvest.
Add 1-20 g to 10 l of water.
1 kg is enough for 2000 l of water.
