Product Description Product: EcoGrow Calcium Nitrate Granules: Sustainable Crop Nourishment Molecular formula: 5Ca(NO3)2â?¢NH4â?¢NO3â?¢10H2O Molecular weight: 1080.71 Description: Some essential characteristics: 1. Balanced nutrient content: CAN contains a combination of nitrogen (present in nitrate and ammonium forms) and calcium in suitable proportions, providing both macronutrients critical for plant nutrition. This balance is crucial for maximizing nutrient availability and utilization by plants. 2. High solubility: CAN readily dissolves in water, ensuring quick nutrient availability to plants. This solubility allows for faster absorption by crop root systems and availability in the soil solution, resulting in efficient and rapid nutrient uptake. 3. pH effects: CAN is a moderately acidic fertilizer product, which can help in neutralizing overly alkaline soils. This characteristic also aids in enhancing nutrient availability to plants, as certain nutrients are more readily accessible in slightly acidic soil conditions. 4. Controlled-release properties: The nitrogen component in CAN is released gradually over a period of time, contributing to extended availability and sustained nutrient supply throughout the plant's growth stages. This controlled-release feature minimizes losses due to leaching, volatilization, or denitrification and improves fertilizer efficiency. 5. Convenient handling and storage: CAN is a stable fertilizer product, with no particular handling or storage precautions needed. It can be easily blended with other fertilizer materials and remains physically stable over time, ensuring convenience in logistics and application processes. 6. Environmental impact: CAN is considered a responsible and environmentally friendly fertilizer choice due to its reduced potential for nutrient runoff, minimized emissions of greenhouse gases, and lower risk of groundwater contamination compared to some other nitrogen-based fertilizers.
