Application:
Agriculture:
Calcium Nitrate is a water-soluble fertilizer rich in Calcium and Nitrogen. It is the primary source of water-soluble calcium and is effective in controlling plant diseases. With excellent solubility, it is ideal for drip irrigation and foliar application. Water-soluble fertilizers (WSF) have revolutionized fertigation, where fertilizers are incorporated into irrigation water through drip systems.
