The two most common ways of delivering Calcium Nitrate to plants: Nutrigation (fertigation), of greenhouse and soilless-grown crops Foliar feeding Q: What the benefits of Calcium for plant growth? A: Calcium is essential for the building of cell walls. Poor calcium supply interferes with this important function, resulting in distorted growth and deformation of root tips, young leaves, and shoot tips. In addition weaker cells are more susceptible to biotic attacks. Calcium is also involved in enzymatic reactions and in the coordination of inter-cellular processes. Q: What are common signs of Calcium deficiency in plants? A: Calcium deficiency is usually shown as localized rot of tissues and a consequent growth inhibition. Typical symptoms include leaf deformation, leaf tip burn and root tip burn. Calcium deficiency also reduces quality and yield of the harvest, and shortens shelf life.
