Green Culture - Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (NZ) (15-0-0 + 18% Ca)
Green Culture is NZ owned Calcium Nitrate 'Prilled' is a granular style, water soluble fertiliser that provides two essential plant nutrients in one application - Nitrogen & Calcium.
Nitrogen drives vigorous vegetative growth, protein production, and overall plant development, while Calcium plays a critical role in strengthening cell walls, improving produce quality, and supporting healthy tissue development.
Unlike Urea-based nitrogen fertilisers, the nitrogen (nitrate) in this product is immediately available for plant uptake without requiring conversion in the soil, providing a fast and reliable growth response.
Suitable for both soil-grown and hydroponic crops, Calcium Nitrate is commonly used to prevent and correct calcium deficiencies and assist in reducing physiological disorders such as blossom end rot in tomatoes and capsicums, bitter pit in apples, hollow heart in brassicas, and tip burn in lettuce.
Benefits
- Suitable for: Vegetables, fruit trees, vines, flowers, turf, ornamentals, hydroponic systems, and fertigation programs,
- Rapid Absorption: Provides immediately available Nitrogen and Calcium
- Hydroponic-Grade: Fully water-soluble with ultra low levels of heavy metals and impurities, ideal for recirculating systems and precision fertigation systems
- Chloride & Sulfate Free: Contains no chloride/chlorine and is 100% Sulfate free
- Low Ammonium Formula: Only 1% NH₄-N which helps prevents pH drift, reduces risk of ammonium toxicity, and reduces K/Ca uptake interference
- Quality Enhancement: Strengthens cell walls, improves firmness, reduces physiological disorders (blossom end rot, tip burn), supports fruit firmness, quality and extends shelf life
- Complete Water Solubility: Dissolves fully and rapidly in cold water, ideal for injection systems, drip irrigation, and hydroponic nutrient solution
- Calcium Nitrate is commonly used as the 'part a' for many commercial fertiliser programs
Application Guide:
Calcium Nitrate can be applied as a top-dress fertiliser, incorporated into fertiliser programs, or dissolved and used through hydroponic systems such as NFT kits, DWC (deep water culture) systems, run to waste coco coir systems & even peat based hydro soils
General applications: Apply according to crop requirements (or existing nutrient levels).
Hydroponics applications: Use EC/PPM (electrical conductivity or parts per million) as a guide for strength.
Top dress applications: Place around the dripline and water in thoroughly after application.
