Calcium directly affects the growth, quality, and taste of fruit trees. Therefore, fruit farmers also supplement calcium for them every year. When choosing fertilizers, they often use calcium nitrate or sugar alcohol calcium. So, which is better, calcium nitrate or sugar alcohol calcium? How to choose? Let's learn more together!
Which is better, calcium nitrate or calcium gluconate? How to choose?
Calcium nitrate is one of the commonly used compound fertilizers, which is usually used to supplement crop nitrogen and calcium elements. Its nitrogen content is about 12%, mainly in the form of nitrate nitrogen, while the calcium content is about 24%. It is also a water-soluble calcium that is extremely soluble in water and has advantages such as good effect, fast fertilizer effect, and wide adaptability. It has the effect of neutralizing and reducing acid in acidic soil. Moderate application has little destructive effect on the soil and can be used as base fertilizer and topdressing, It can also be applied by spraying, hole spraying, sprinkling, flushing, etc.
Sugar alcohol calcium literally refers to the combination of sugar alcohol and calcium elements, but in reality, it is a high-quality organic calcium fertilizer that is combined using chelation technology. It has the advantages of good effect, high utilization rate, and convenient application, and has also been recognized and favored by a large number of fruit farmers in recent years.
Compared with sugar alcohol calcium, calcium nitrate may have a slight advantage in terms of supplementing nutrients. It can supplement two types of nutrients, nitrogen and calcium, in fruit trees. Its application methods are also flexible and diverse, which are one of the reasons that tempt fruit farmers to choose. However, in terms of its calcium supplementation effect, sugar alcohol calcium foliar spraying stability and utilization rate are better than calcium nitrate, and its effect goes without saying, It is obvious that it is much better than calcium nitrate. Personally, I suggest using sugar alcohol calcium when spraying calcium supplements on the leaves of fruit trees.
