YaraTera Calcinit (Calcium Nitrate)

A highly soluble source of calcium and nitrate nitrogen for healthy plant growth.

YaraTera Calcinit contains 15.5% nitrate nitrogen and 19% calcium, providing two essential nutrients in a readily available form. It dissolves quickly in water, making it ideal for greenhouse crops, orchids, vegetables, fruit trees, and ornamental plants.

Nitrate nitrogen promotes strong, balanced vegetative growth without causing excessive soft growth, while calcium strengthens plant tissues and supports the development of healthy roots, leaves, flowers, and new shoots.

Application Rate:

• 1 g per 1000 ml (1 L) of water

• Apply during active growth as part of your regular fertilising program.

Guaranteed Analysis

• Nitrogen (N): 15.5%

• Calcium (Ca): 19%

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

Why Calcium Is Important for Plants

Calcium is one of the most important nutrients for producing strong, healthy plants. Unlike many nutrients, calcium is not easily moved within the plant, so a continuous supply is essential during active growth.

Benefits of Calcium

✅ Stronger Cell Walls

• Builds stronger plant tissues.

• Produces thicker leaves and sturdier pseudobulbs.

• Improves resistance to physical damage.

✅ Healthy Root Growth

• Essential for new root tips.

• Encourages vigorous root development and nutrient uptake.

✅ Improved New Growth

• Supports healthy emerging leaves, shoots, and flower spikes.

• Helps prevent distorted or deformed new growth.

✅ Better Flower Quality

• Produces stronger flower stems.

• Improves flower longevity and overall quality.

✅ Increased Disease Resistance

• Stronger cells make it harder for fungi and bacteria to invade.

• Reduces stress-related disorders.

Calcium Deficiency Symptoms

Plants lacking calcium may show:

• Deformed or twisted new leaves

• Blackened or dying growing tips

• Weak roots with poor branching

• Soft, weak growth

• Flower or bud abortion

• Poor overall plant vigor

Because calcium moves poorly within plants, deficiency symptoms usually appear on new growth first.

Why Orchid Growers Use Calcium

For orchids, adequate calcium helps produce:

• Stronger roots with active growing tips

• Larger, firmer pseudobulbs

• Thicker, healthier leaves

• Better flower spikes

• Improved tolerance to heat and environmental stress

When combined with a balanced fertiliser, YaraTera Calcinit provides the calcium needed for vigorous growth while supplying nitrate nitrogen for steady, healthy development.
