CALCIUM NITRATE [CODE NO.3721]
Calcium nitrate, sometimes called Norwegian saltpetre was the first synthetic nitrogenous fertilizer to be put on the market. It has not, however, proved to be entirely satisfactory for this purpose. At the beginning of world war II, it accounted for about 8% of the nitrogen consumed in world's agriculture. It is manufactured mainly in Europe.
Calcium nitrate is generally known as lime nitrate or nitrocalcite or lime salt peter or Norwegian salt peter. It is available in two forms one is in tetra hydrate form whose chemical formula is Ca (NO3.4H2O). Another is simple calcium nitrate whose chemical formula is Ca(NO3)2.
