Van Iperen Calcium Nitrate Horticultural Grade is a highly pure Calcium fertilizer which dissolves rapidly and completely. Our product has limited caking sensitivity and is recommended as of early spring until fruit setting and fruit development. The high level of Calcium improves the strength of cell walls during active cell division stages. The presence of Nitrogen has a positive effect on the uptake of Calcium in the plant.
