YaraLiva Calcinit Calcium Nitrate Delivers 15.5% N and 19% Soluble Calcium
Every Calcinit prill carries 15.5% total nitrogen — 14.5% nitrate, 1.0% ammonium — plus 19% soluble calcium, equal to 26.3% CaO. Nitrate nitrogen moves with the water, so uptake tracks irrigation instead of waiting on soil biology to convert it. Calcium builds cell wall strength, which shows up as firmer fruit and longer shelf life at harvest.
Greenhouse Grade Calcium Nitrate Built for Injectors and Drip Lines
Solution grade milling is why this bag runs clean: 1,200 g/L solubility at 20°C and 0.05% max water insolubles. Most growers dissolve it alone in the A tank, since phosphate and sulfate stock solutions precipitate on contact. One gram per gallon lands near 50 ppm calcium and 38 ppm nitrate-N, a useful anchor when building recipes from raw salts. It cakes if the bag sits open in humid air.
Key Features
- 15.5% Total Nitrogen: 14.5% arrives as nitrate-N for immediate uptake, with 1.0% ammoniacal N holding a small buffer.
- 19% Soluble Calcium (26.3% CaO): Feeds cell wall development straight through fruit set without a separate calcium additive.
- 1,200 g/L Solubility at 20°C: One 50 lb bag goes into solution fast enough to mix a concentrate tank in a single pass.
- 0.05% Max Water Insolubles: Emitters, filters and injector check valves stay clear across long fertigation runs.
- Chloride and Sodium Free: Keeps root-zone EC working for you instead of stacking ballast salts in recirculating water.
- pH 6.0 and 1.2 mS/cm EC: Predictable solution chemistry makes dialing a raw-salt recipe far less of a guessing game.
- Prilled 2.0–4.0 mm, 100 SGN: Free-flowing granules scoop and weigh consistently, with no dust cloud over the mixing tank.
- 50 lb Greenhouse/Solution Grade Bag: Sized for continuous-production rooms feeding multiple stock tanks each week.
