Nova Calcium (CaNO3 w/s)

The perfect package for calcium-starved crops.

Description

Nova Plus Calcium + TE is a vital source of calcium for your crops: it forms strong cell walls, ensuring consistently good-quality fruit and a longer shelf life. It also displaces sodium salts in the soil to help maintain your soil’s structure, enriching the soil with nitrogen and a full package of trace elements. Its flake format is less likely to compact in transportation or storage, and it’s 100% water-soluble: the perfect thing for fertigation or hydroponics, or you could use it as a foliar feed.

Benefits
  • Efficient source of nitrogen, calcium, and trace elements
  • Can improve your fruit’s quality and shelf life
  • Easy to dissolve
Application Rates
Recommended dilution rate for stock solutions: 25-30 kg / 100 l water

Trail first on a small scale before changing the rate, or any other variables, As circumstances can differ and the application of our products is beyond our control, ICL cannot be held responsible for any adverse results.

How to use
  1. Calcium is one of the nutrients with low mobility in plants, so it should be applied continuously throughout the entire growth period. Nova Plus Calcium + TE is recommended for all crops, especially for those sensitive to calcium, like fruits or vegetables.
