LOVOFERT CN 15 + B
Calcium nitrate is a fully water - soluble fertiliser with a fast action. It is very beneficial on more acidic soils, as the calcium from the fertiliser reduces the effect of soil acidity. Due to the high mobility of nitrogen in the soil and the risk of leaching, higher doses of calcium nitrate are not recommended on light sandy soils, in areas of high rainfall and generally single doses above 300 kg/ha. It is recommended mainly for regenerative fertilisation of winter crops, for late (qualitative) side - dressing of cereals, for side - dressing of weakened clover covers, for side - dressing of sugar and fodder beet, poppy, maize, meadow grass, vegetables and for operational removal of calcium deficiency in plant nutrition. The fertiliser is applicable for final nutrient applications to a wide range of cash crops with increased boron requirements. Calcium nitrate is a fully water - soluble fertiliser with a fast action.

Packaging, transport, and storage
Both stockpiles and units must be labelled with the name of the fertiliser. Packaged fertiliser of up to 50 kg is stored in bags stacked one on top of another up to max. 1.5 m. When fertiliser bags are stored on pallets, the pallets can be stored up to two layers. Fertiliser must be stored on a floor with an impermeable surface. It must be protected from direct sunlight and radiant heat, otherwise the granules are destroyed and the fertiliser hardens. It is stored separately from other fertilisers and it must be protected against contamination. The storage area must be protected against moisture penetration. It is recommended to cover the stored fertiliser with a PE tarpaulin.
