Nova Calcium ICL Israel

Nova Calcium (Calcium Nitrate) from ICL (Israel Chemicals Ltd.) is a premium fertilizer that provides essential calcium and nitrogen in a fully water-soluble form. It is specifically designed to improve plant health, strengthen cell walls, and enhance overall crop yield and quality. Ideal for both soil-based and hydroponic farming systems, Nova Calcium is a trusted choice for modern agriculture.

Key Features and Applications

1. Dual Nutrition:
   • Contains 15.5% nitrogen (N) and 26.5% calcium oxide (CaO).
   • Nitrogen promotes plant growth, while calcium strengthens cell walls and improves fruit quality.
2. High Solubility:
   • Dissolves completely in water, ensuring efficient absorption and reducing nutrient loss.
   • Perfect for use in fertigation and drip irrigation systems.
3. Wide Crop Compatibility:
   • Ideal for fruits (e.g., tomatoes, strawberries), vegetables (e.g., leafy greens, peppers), and flowers.
4. Corrects Calcium Deficiency:
   • Prevents disorders like blossom-end rot in tomatoes, tip burn in lettuce, and bitter pit in apples.
5. Environmental Safety:
   • Low chloride content ensures it is safe for plants and minimizes environmental impact.

Instructions for Use

Preparation

• Dissolve Nova Calcium in water to create a nutrient-rich solution.

Application Methods

1. Fertigation:
   • Inject into irrigation systems at a rate of 5-10 kg per hectare per application, depending on crop needs.
2. Foliar Application:
   • Mix 2-4 grams per liter of water and spray onto plant foliage.
   • Apply during the early morning or late afternoon to avoid leaf burn.
3. Soil Application:
   • Distribute the solution evenly around the plant root zone.

Frequency

• Apply every 7-14 days, depending on the growth stage and calcium demand of the crop.

Key Benefits

1. Improves Crop Quality:
   • Strengthens cell walls, resulting in firmer fruits, better shelf life, and higher resistance to mechanical damage.
2. Prevents Calcium Deficiencies:
   • Ensures healthy leaf development and prevents physiological disorders like blossom-end rot and tip burn.
3. Boosts Growth and Yield:
   • Provides fast-acting nitrogen for vigorous growth and improved photosynthesis.
4. Supports Stress Resistance:
   • Enhances plant resilience to environmental stresses, such as drought and temperature fluctuations.
5. Suitable for All Irrigation Systems:
   • Compatible with drip, sprinkler, and pivot irrigation methods.

Best Practices

• Perform a soil or tissue test to determine calcium levels before application.
• Avoid mixing Nova Calcium with fertilizers containing sulfates or phosphates to prevent precipitation.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Nova Calcium by ICL Israel is the go-to solution for achieving healthier plants, higher yields, and superior crop quality. Whether used in intensive agriculture or home gardening, it ensures sustainable and effective plant nutrition.
