growers across America, season after
season, because of Calcium Nitrate’s
unique combination of nutrients:
Nitrate nitrogen for fast
response. Better timing and
control. Calcium Nitrate supplies
nitrate, the non-acidifying nitrogen
that’s readily available for plant
uptake. You’ll see fast, uniform response
with the precise feeding and timing you
need for better growth and better
crop management.

Earlier, more uniform maturity.
Improved yield and quality.
Nitrate nitrogen gives the quick opti
mum response the crop needs and then
“runs out.” Elimination of residual
nitrogen and salt problems promotes
better yields, uniform maturity and
harvest efficiency. One good thing leads
to another when you fertilize with
Calcium Nitrate.
Vital calcium: it helps your crop;
helps your soil. Calcium Nitrate con
tains 19% water-soluble calcium. This
vital nutrient, combined with nitrate
nitrogen, provides crop benefits
both above and below the ground.
Young leaves, stalks, roots and fruit
must have calcium for proper develop
ment. Adequate calcium in the fruit
markedly improves harvest and ship
ping quality. This low-salt, non-acid
source of nitrate and calcium is un
matched by any other nitrate fertilizer.
Available in bag or bulk. Apply
Calcium Nitrate straight or ask your
dealer to include it in your vegetable
fertilizer. You’ll be glad you did!
As with any fertilizer application, con
sult your extension office or other advisory
service for recommended practice that
meets local crop and soil conditions.
