Understanding Calcium Nitrate Fertilizer in Agricultural Production

Fertilizers are essential nutrients for plants, and understanding the characteristics and uses of different types of fertilizers is extremely important. Let’s explore Calcium Nitrate fertilizer with Viet Nga Fertilizer, a type of fertilizer that provides optimal nutrition for plants!

1. What is Calcium Nitrate fertilizer?

Calcium nitrate fertilizer is an inorganic fertilizer composed of CaO (calcium oxide) and nitrogen (nitrate NO3-), used as a fertilizer for crops in agricultural production.

2. Characteristics of Vietnam-Russia Calcium Nitrate Fertilizer:

Viet Nga Calcium Nitrate fertilizer is easily soluble and can be applied through all irrigation systems, suitable for supplementing nitrogen and calcium nutrients for plant growth and development.

Specifically, with its main components being Nitrogen (15%) and Calcium (26%), the fertilizer also contains added trace element Boron (900 ppm), increasing fertilizer efficiency and promoting healthy plant growth and development.

Viet Nga Calcium Nitrate fertilizer effectively supplies Nitrogen (N), Calcium (Ca), and Boron (B) to plants:

– Calcium (Ca): Stimulates root and leaf growth, helps form cells, and increases plant rigidity. Plants need a lot of calcium during the flowering and fruiting stages.

– N (Nitrogen): provides energy for protein production and plant growth, promoting vigorous growth and development of leaves, branches, and roots.

– Boron (B): is an important micronutrient for the growth and health of most crops, especially during the flowering and fruiting stages. Boron plays a crucial role in pollen formation; a boron deficiency can cause flowers to drop or seeds to be shriveled, making crops more susceptible to pests and diseases, and reducing their resistance to adverse conditions.

The combination of calcium and nitrate in calcium nitrate fertilizer provides a diverse and balanced source of nutrients for plants, helping them grow healthily and increasing yields.

3. Uses of Vietnam-Russia Calcium Nitrate Fertilizer

– It helps plants grow healthier, increases cell wall thickness, improves pest and disease resistance, and allows plants to withstand harsh climate changes.

– Increases the absorption of macro and micronutrients.

– Stimulates root growth, creating favorable conditions for beneficial microorganisms to thrive.

– The plants thrive, pollinate well, and reduce flower and fruit drop, as well as fruit rot.

– It improves fruit quality, making the fruit tastier and sweeter, giving it a beautiful glossy color, and extending the shelf life of agricultural products after harvest.

4. Which types of plants are suitable for using Calcium Nitrate fertilizer?

Viet Nga Calcium Nitrate Fertilizer is suitable for use on all types of crops, specifically:

4.1. Rice:

Fertilize 3 times per crop cycle:

– First application: 100 – 200 kg/ha, applied 20 – 25 days after sowing.

– Second application: 150 – 200 kg/ha, applied 30-40 days after sowing (during the tillering stage).

– Third application: 150 – 200 kg/ha, applied after flowering.

4.2. Corn plant:

Apply 150-200 kg/ha as base fertilizer and as top dressing during the flowering and grain-forming stages.

4.3. Vegetable plants, legumes:

– Base fertilization: 50 – 80 kg/ha.

– Top dressing: Apply 100-150 kg/ha/time at 8-10 days, 20-25 days, and 40-45 days after planting.

4.4. Fruit trees:

– Before flowering: 0.1 – 0.2 kg/plant/application.

– During flowering and fruit development: 0.1 – 0.3 kg/ha/application.

– Post-harvest application: 0.1 – 0.2 kg/plant/time.

4.5. Sugarcane, cassava:

– Base fertilization: 10 – 30 kg/ha.

– Top dressing: 20 – 50 kg/ha/time at 70 – 75 days after planting and during the tuber development/sugar accumulation stage.

4.6. Rubber trees, coffee, pepper, cashew trees:

Apply 0.1 – 0.3 kg/tree/application, 3 times a year at the beginning, middle, and end of the rainy season.

It is recommended to use the fertilizer according to the instructions, avoiding over-fertilization which can affect the plant’s absorption of other nutrients, and to provide the plant with adequate water.
