CALCIUM NITRATE (SOLUCALCIUM)

Engineering Precision in Plant Nutrition

SoluCalcium by Agro-Chemie represents a high-purity mineral fertilizer formulated as water-soluble granules, designed specifically for advanced fertigation systems. Developed in Slovenia, the product is engineered to ensure rapid dissolution and maximum nutrient availability, even in complex water conditions, preventing clogging of drip irrigation emitters.

Technical Composition and Biological Impact

The efficacy of the formula is rooted in the synergistic interaction of its primary components:

• Cellular Membrane Integrity: The high Calcium (CaO) content serves as the structural foundation for cell wall pectic substances. By strengthening the middle lamella, it directly enhances the mechanical durability of fruits and vegetables, extending shelf life and significantly reducing loss during transport.
• Optimized Nitrate Metabolism: The nitrogen (N 15-20%) is provided in a readily absorbable nitrate form, which promotes the active uptake of essential cations like calcium and potassium. This is vital during high-demand stages, such as fruit setting and rapid vegetative development.

Field Performance and Application

This fertilizer is optimized for hydroponics and drip irrigation. Because it lacks harmful ballast components and contains a precise mix of chelated micronutrients, it ensures that even in alkaline soils, the plants receive the necessary support to prevent physiological disorders like blossom-end rot in vegetables. For ornamental crops, SoluCalcium facilitates the development of robust stalks and dense, vibrant foliage. Its application via drip systems ensures that nutrients are delivered exactly where they are needed most: at the root zone, maximizing the absorption rate and minimizing environmental leaching.
