Calcium Nitrate
Calcium nitrate is a water-soluble fertilizer that contains two essential nutrients for plant growth: calcium and nitrogen. These nutrients play important roles in various aspects of plant development, and when applied correctly, calcium nitrate can help plants grow by providing the following benefits: Nitrogen source: Calcium nitrate is a source of readily available nitrogen in the form of nitrate (NO3-). Nitrogen is a fundamental component of amino acids, proteins, chlorophyll, and nucleic acids. These compounds are essential for plant growth and development. Nitrogen is particularly important for processes like photosynthesis, leaf and stem development, and overall plant vigor. Calcium source: Calcium is another essential nutrient for plants, serving as a secondary macronutrient. It plays a critical role in cell wall formation and stability, which is crucial for plant structure and strength. Adequate calcium levels help prevent disorders like blossom end rot in tomatoes and
