Agricultural Fertilizers

Calcium nitrate, also called Norgessalpeter (Norwegian salpeter), is an inorganic compound with the formula Ca(NO₃)₂(H₂O)_x. The anhydrous compound, which is rarely encountered, absorbs moisture from the air to give the tetrahydrate. Both anhydrous and hydrated forms are colourless salts. Calcium nitrate is mainly used as a component in fertilizers, but it has other applications. Nitrocalcite is the name for a mineral which is a hydrated calcium nitrate that forms as an efflorescence where manure contacts concrete or limestone in a dry environment as in stables or caverns. A variety of related salts are known including calcium ammonium nitrate decahydrate and calcium potassium nitrate decahydrate.^[

Nitrobenzene 35% V/V

• It helps the plant to increase CN ratio significantly
• It increases plant size and helps for flowering
• It enhances the plant canopy and induces flowering and increases the yield
• It can be used in all major agriculture crops through foliar application
• Increase flowering in plant
• Prevent flower shedding
• It enhance early flowering. Plants take less time to flower
• Yield contributing characters like plant height increase
• Number of branches per plant increase
• Number of flowers per cluster increase
• It increase in number of fruits per plant were recorded
• Fruit weight increase is 20-25 %.Bigger fruits are produced
• Total yield increase due to nitrobenzene application
• It is compatible with pesticide and fungicides
• Quality characters like TSS (Total soluble solutes), increase & acidity Ascorbic acid and total sugar also increases
