Since Calcium Nitrate has excellent water solubility, its highly soluble Nitrogen & Calcium are both immediately available to plants. This fertiliser can be used to correct plant deficiencies in Calcium.
Calcium Nitrate reduces blossom end rot of tomatoes & bitter lits of apples.
Calcium Nitrate contains secondary nutrient Calcium (Ca) 18.5% min & Nitrate Nitrogen (N) 14.5% min. Calcium levels in the plant directly control many enzyme reactions & enhance the uptake of Nitrate Nitrogen (N). Nitrate ions enhance the uptake of Calcium in plants.
Calcium deficiency leads to decrease in the development of terminal shoot buds & root tips which inhibits plant growth. It also causes chlorosis & distortion of new leaves.
Calcium is essential in cell elongation & division. Calcium also facilitates uptake of Potash (K) over Sodium (Na). Uptake of Calcium is difficult in highly leached & highly acidic soils.
For Calcium Nitrate
Calcium (Ca) 18.5%; Total Nitrogen (N) 15.5%.
For Tanbor
Total Nitrogen (N), min. - 14.5%
Nitrate Nitrogen, min. - 13.5%
Water Soluble Calcium (Ca), min. - 17.0%
Boron (B), min. - 0.2-0.3%
SETU BORONATED CALCIUM NITRATE is an ideal plant food formulation which can be used where the fertility state of the soil is not known or where the nutrients are at medium level in the soil.
Avoid mixing of these Fertilisers with any fungicides or pesticides.
Spraying should be done either in the early morning or in the evening. Do not spray in direct rains, sunlight and when the plant is in stress conditions.
One or two sprays per month. Total no of sprays should be decided depending upon crop, growth stage & nutrient requirement.
Concentration of use, 3-6 g/litre. Approximate requirement, 1.25-2.5 kg per hectare for each application.
Use adequate water volume for thorough coverage of the plant to get maximum benefit. Do not apply more than the recommended concentration.
