Calcium Nitrate
Southern-Gro Fertilizer’s Calcium Nitrate is a specialized blend containing two essential nutrients critical for plant health: Calcium (Ca) and Nitrogen (N). This formula is particularly beneficial in vegetable gardens, especially for tomatoes and peppers, playing a key role in preventing Blossom End Rot. Blossom End Rot, a common issue with tomatoes, is a physiological disorder caused by calcium deficiency, occurring when rapidly expanding fruits don’t receive enough calcium at their ends. Southern-Gro’s Calcium Nitrate ensures that your plants get an adequate supply of calcium, preventing this disorder and promoting the development of healthy, robust fruits. Ideal for gardeners looking to ensure the health and vitality of their vegetable crops, Southern-Gro’s Calcium Nitrate is a must-have for a thriving garden.
