What is the best calcium nitrate fertilizer for tomatoes and how often should I apply it?
Calcium nitrate is ideal for tomatoes because it provides both readily available calcium and nitrogen, crucial elements for preventing blossom end rot and promoting healthy fruit development. For best results, purchase a high-quality calcium nitrate with 15.5% nitrogen and 19% calcium content. Apply as a foliar spray at a rate of 1-2 tablespoons per gallon of water every 7-10 days during flowering and fruit development stages. Alternatively, use granular calcium nitrate as a soil application at 3-4 pounds per 100 square feet, applied in 2-3 applications throughout the growing season. Professional growers prefer our premium greenhouse-grade water-soluble calcium nitrate for its superior purity and complete dissolution in irrigation systems, making it worth the additional investment for serious tomato producers.
Why is calcium nitrate fertilizer worth buying for preventing blossom end rot and increasing yields?
Calcium nitrate is worth the investment for serious growers because:
- Proven effectiveness: NC State Extension research shows it reduces blossom end rot by 40-60% and increases marketable yields by 10-20%
- Expert-recommended application: Purdue University suggests 5-10 pounds per 100 linear feet for tomatoes, especially in high-tunnel systems
- Perfect timing matters: UC Davis recommends applying when fruits are walnut-sized for maximum prevention of calcium-related disorders
- Superior to alternatives: Unlike limestone or gypsum, calcium nitrate provides immediately available calcium that plants can absorb even during moisture stress
-
Multiple benefits beyond prevention: Proper calcium levels from calcium nitrate result in:
- Stronger cell walls
- Better shipping quality
- Extended shelf life
- Higher quality marketable produce
- Economic advantage: Particularly valuable for commercial and high-tunnel growers where the return on investment is substantial due to higher percentages of sellable produce
When is the best time to apply calcium nitrate fertilizer to prevent blossom end rot?
The timing of calcium nitrate application is critical for preventing blossom end rot. According to University of California Master Gardeners, the optimal time to apply calcium nitrate is when tomato fruits are walnut-sized, as this corresponds with the rapid cell division phase when calcium demand is highest. Start applications at the first sign of fruit development and continue every 1-2 weeks throughout the fruiting period.
For maximum effectiveness:
- Early season: Apply calcium nitrate when plants are setting their first fruits
- Critical periods: Increase application frequency during periods of rapid growth
- Environmental triggers: Apply additional calcium nitrate after heavy rain or during drought stress, as these conditions inhibit calcium uptake
- Preventative schedule: Don't wait for symptoms to appear - maintain regular applications on susceptible crops like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants
- Time of day: Apply in early morning for foliar sprays to ensure maximum absorption before intense sun, as recommended by Iowa State University Extension
Research from Alabama State confirms that consistent moisture and calcium availability during critical growth stages significantly outperforms reactive treatments after symptoms appear. University of Minnesota Extension further advises that applications should begin at the first sign of fruit development and continue at 1-2 week intervals throughout the growing season.
