How Calcium Nitrate

the yield and
of cole crops
Cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spro\
and collards are typically grown un

fertilizer must perform accordingly
Precise nitrogen control is
vital to optimum growth
Calcium Nitrate provides fast
acting nitrate nitrogen—the key to
nitrogen control in short season
crops. Calcium Nitrate goes to work
immediately, even under cool soil
conditions. The result is controlled,
uniform crop nutrition.
Nitrate nitrogen has
many advantages over
ammonium nitrogen
Nitrate nitrogen is immediately
available for plant use; ammonium
fertilizers, however, must convert to
nitrate. This conversion takes time
and can vary depending on soil tem
perature, moisture, aeration and
soil pH. Uneven or delayed nitrogen
availability can result in erratic
nitrogen feeding during the season
and can affect crop growth, matu
rity and quality.
In addition, urea or ammonium
nitrogen fertilizers lower soil pH.
This does not occur with Calcium
Nitrate.
A nitrate source of nitrogen can
produce desirable crop response, as
shown in the data below:

Calcium Nitrate provides 19%
water-soluble calcium for vital
growth requirements, and contrib
utes to better color, firmness and
improved shipping quality.
Nutritional excellence
Calcium Nitrate is an ideal combi
nation of fast-acting nitrate nitro
