It is a completely water-soluble nitrogen and calcium fertilizer. It is suitable for use in all irrigation systems. It helps improve fruit quality elements in the plant and extend the shelf life of the product in the market. Calcium nitrate is an effective fertilizer for all plants in all types of soil and climate conditions. Since calcium and nitrate are taken together by the plants, it does not leave residue in the root area of the plant, unlike other fertilizers. These two nutrients affect each other positively and do not create salinity in the soil. Nitrogen in the form of nitrate during nutrient uptake by the roots of the plant; It also helps the plant absorb calcium and other nutrients in water-soluble form. Especially in clayey soils, ammonium nitrogen can be retained by the soil, thus making it temporarily unavailable for plant growth. On the other hand, nitrate nitrogen is not bound in the soil. It remains freely available in the root zone, where it can be easily taken when the plant needs it, allowing the nitrogen need to be met quickly. Calcium is a macronutrient element widely consumed by plants, it is the building block of the plant cell wall. Plants cannot grow without calcium. Its ability to move within the plant is very weak. Calcium carbonate (lime) in the soil may not adequately meet the calcium needs of the plant. Calcium Nitrate, in addition to being a good plant nutrient, also has soil improving properties. It enables other nutrients held by clay minerals in the soil to become available. Water-soluble calcium helps the clay particles in the soil to decompose and the soil to become more porous.
