Calcium Nitrate 1kg – Fast-Acting Fertilizer for Vigorous Plants
Calcium nitrate is a unique and fast-acting fertilizer containing readily available nitrate nitrogen and completely water-soluble calcium for plants. It is an ideal choice for invigorating plants grown both in greenhouses and outdoors – perfectly suited for both fertigation and foliar spraying.
Why is calcium essential for your plants? Calcium is the primary building material for plant cells, critically important for the formation of new cells and strong tissue structure.
-
Prevents diseases and defects: In cases of calcium deficiency, young leaves deform, become pale, and may later dry out. Calcium also helps prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes.
-
Improves shelf life: Adequate calcium levels increase the disease resistance of flowers, berries, vegetables, and fruits, and improve their storage properties after harvest.
-
Universal: Especially recommended for supporting the vitality of young plants, as well as for regular fertilization of plants already in their final growing location.
Instructions for Use and Dosage For optimal results, dissolve the powder in water and use the prepared solution alternately with specialized tomato, cucumber, or berry fertilizers. One kilogram (1 kg) is sufficient to enrich a full 2000 liters of irrigation water!
Fertigation (add 1-20 g to 10 liters of water):
-
In greenhouses: 1-20 g / 10 L irrigation water. For tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers, begin fertilization immediately at the onset of fruit formation.
-
Outdoors: 10-20 g / 10 L irrigation water.
-
Fruit trees (apple and pear trees): Perform the first fertilization 5-6 weeks after flowering.
-
Berry bushes (currants, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries): First fertilization immediately after flowering.
Foliar application (spraying):
-
General solution: Use a 1% solution (approximately 2 teaspoons per 1 liter of water).
-
Apple trees: Spray with a 0.5-1% solution, starting with a lower concentration in early June and finishing approximately 3 weeks before harvest.
-
Important: As calcium is immobile within the plant, regular, weekly sprayings are necessary during the fruit growth period. Always spray plants on cloudy days, in the early morning or evening, avoiding hot and direct sunlight.
