YaraLiva NITRABOR Calcium Nitrate (Fertilizer) | 25kg

Description

YaraLiva NITRABOR Calcium Nitrate is a premium-grade calcium nitrate fertilizer that contains both calcium (Ca) and boron (B), two crucial nutrients for plant health and development. This product is part of Yara’s YaraLiva range, designed to improve the quality, yield, and resilience of crops. It is especially beneficial for crops requiring high levels of calcium and boron for healthy growth, such as fruit and vegetable crops.

Composition

• Nitrogen (N): 15.4% (primarily in nitrate form)
• Calcium (Ca): 18.9% (CaO equivalent)
• Boron (B): 0.3%

Key Benefits of YaraLiva NITRABOR Calcium Nitrate (Fertilizer) | 25kg:

1. Calcium for Strong Cell Walls:
   • Calcium is crucial for maintaining strong cell walls in plants. This strengthens overall plant structure, improves disease resistance, and prevents physiological disorders like blossom-end rot in tomatoes and peppers, bitter pit in apples, and tip burn in leafy vegetables.
2. Boron for Optimal Plant Functions:
   • Boron is essential for several physiological processes in plants, particularly in the development of cell walls, reproductive organs, and efficient nutrient transport. It helps in the growth of new tissues, root development, and fruit set.
   • The combination of calcium and boron ensures better uptake and utilization of these nutrients, leading to improved fruit quality, size, and shelf life.
3. Enhanced Fruit Quality:
   • The use of YaraLiva NITRABOR can increase fruit firmness and improve its storage life by preventing disorders such as internal browning, splitting, and cracking in fruits like apples, pears, and tomatoes. This makes it a popular choice for growers aiming to improve marketable yields.
4. Nitrogen for Vigorous Growth:
   • The nitrogen in YaraLiva NITRABOR is in nitrate form, which is immediately available for plants to absorb. This ensures quick and efficient uptake, promoting vigorous vegetative growth and enhancing overall plant development.
5. Improves Flowering and Pollination:
   • Boron plays a critical role in pollen tube formation and growth, which directly impacts pollination and fruit set. By using YaraLiva NITRABOR, growers can increase fruit set and reduce flower drop, resulting in higher yields.

Applications and Use of YaraLiva NITRABOR Calcium Nitrate:

YaraLiva NITRABOR is especially effective in crops sensitive to boron deficiency or those with a high demand for calcium. Typical crops that benefit from this fertilizer include:

• Fruit crops: Apples, pears, citrus, cherries, grapes
• Vegetables: Tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, lettuce
• Root crops: Potatoes, carrots
• Ornamentals: Flowers and decorative plants

Application Methods of YaraLiva NITRABOR Calcium Nitrate:

YaraLiva NITRABOR can be applied through several methods, including soil application, fertigation, or as a foliar spray. Its high solubility makes it particularly suited for fertigation systems.

1. Soil Application: YaraLiva NITRABOR can be applied directly to the soil, where it dissolves easily and releases calcium, boron, and nitrogen for immediate uptake. This method is often used to correct deficiencies in the root zone and improve soil nutrient availability.
2. Fertigation: Due to its solubility, YaraLiva NITRABOR is perfect for fertigation. It can be injected into irrigation lines, allowing the nutrients to be delivered directly to the root zone. This method ensures efficient nutrient uptake while reducing wastage.
3. Foliar Application: Foliar feeding with YaraLiva NITRABOR can be used for rapid correction of calcium and boron deficiencies. It can be particularly beneficial during critical growth stages such as flowering and fruit setting.

Specific Benefits by Crop Type

• Apples and Pears: Reduces bitter pit and internal browning, improves firmness, and extends storage life.
• Tomatoes and Peppers: Prevents blossom-end rot, improves fruit size and quality.
• Lettuce and Leafy Greens: Prevents tip burn, promotes strong, healthy leaves.
• Grapes: Improves fruit set and reduces splitting, resulting in more uniform bunches.
• Potatoes: Enhances tuber quality, improves skin strength, and prevents internal defects.

Dosages

The recommended application rates for YaraLiva NITRABOR depend on the crop, soil type, and growth stage:

• Vegetables (tomatoes, peppers, lettuce):
  • Fertigation: 20-40 kg/ha per irrigation cycle
  • Soil application: 200-400 kg/ha during the growing season
• Fruit Trees (apples, pears, cherries):
  • Soil application: 300-500 kg/ha, applied at regular intervals during the growing season
  • Foliar feeding: 3-5 kg per 1000 liters of water, applied every 10-15 days during fruit development
• Potatoes:
  • Soil application: 200-500 kg/ha, depending on soil analysis and crop needs

Storage and Handling

• Storage: YaraLiva NITRABOR is hygroscopic, so it should be stored in a dry place, away from moisture. Keep it in its original packaging until use.
• Handling: Use protective gloves and goggles when handling this fertilizer to avoid skin or eye irritation. The product should be handled with care to avoid exposure to moisture, as this can cause it to clump or degrade.
