What is ELIT CALNIT fertilizer?

    ELIT CALNIT is a two-nutrient fertilizer with a white granular structure, which is easily soluble in water and can be taken up by the plant immediately. It contains 15.5% nitrogen (N) and 26.5% calcium oxide (CaO). Of the nitrogen in the form of nitrate, 14% is nitrate nitrogen (NO3 - N) and 1.5% is ammonium nitrogen (NH4 - N). Calcium oxide (CaO), which is completely soluble in water, is 26.5%. The combination of nitrate nitrogen and completely water-soluble calcium provides many benefits not found in other fertilizers.

Where is it used?

ELIT CALNIT fertilizer contains nitrate nitrogen and calcium, two essential nutrients for plants. It is the best choice for top dressing for all plants in all soil and climate conditions. Due to the fact that calcium and nitrate are taken up by the plants together, it leaves no residue in the root zone of the plant as in other fertilizers. These two nutrients, which affect each other positively, do not create salinity in the soil. During nutrient uptake by the roots of the plant, nitrogen in the form of nitrate facilitates the uptake of calcium in water-soluble form; therefore, it helps to meet the calcium needs of the plant.

- The vital importance of calcium in plant nutrition

Calcium is a macronutrient highly consumed by plants; it is the building block of the plant cell wall. It is usually found in the soil as compounds that plants cannot utilize. Its ability to move (transport) within the plant is very weak. Calcium carbonate in the soil may not sufficiently meet the calcium needs of the plant. Calcium carbonate has low solubility in water. For all these reasons, calcium fertilization is needed in addition to other fertilizers. Plants cannot grow without calcium. Calcium is the most consumed nutrient by plants after nitrogen and potassium.

- Benefits of ELIT CALNIT for soil

ELIT CALNIT, besides being a good plant nutrient, also has soil improvement properties. It makes other nutrients held by clay minerals in the soil useful. In irrigated soils with little calcium or a lot of sodium, clay particles can become compacted. As a result, the movement of water and oxygen slows down, which adversely affects plant growth. Water-soluble calcium helps to decompose clay particles in the soil and make the soil more porous.

Other benefits of ELIT CALNIT fertilizer can be summarized as follows:

- Increases yield and quality.

- Increases resistance against diseases and pests. - Provides durability in transportation.

- Extends the storage life of fruits.

- Provides fast uptake of calcium and nitrate.

- Does not contain additives and fillers.

- Does not evaporate, wash or burn.

- Does not create alkalinity.

- No salinity effect.

How to use

The greenhouse type of ELIT CALNIT is highly pure and uncoated granular. It is completely soluble in water. It is used in foliar applications with drip and sprinkler irrigation systems (fertigation) in greenhouse and outdoor crops. Especially when applied with drip and sprinkler irrigation systems, it should be applied alone, should not be used together with sulphur and phosphorus fertilizers, and should not be mixed with pesticides.

The field type is produced for manual spreading and for use with fertilizer spreading equipment. Since it is coated, it melts a little slower than the greenhouse type. It is very suitable for top fertilization after planting in open cultivation. ELİT CALNIT should be kept away from moisture during storage and the bag should not be left open.
