Tank Mixing Precautions & Incompatibility Rules
- !CRITICAL COMPATIBILITY RULE: Never mix Calcium Nitrate in the same tank with Phosphates (DAP, 19:19:19, 0:52:34) or Sulphates (0:0:50, Zinc Sulphate). It produces rock-solid gypsum and phosphate precipitates that block drip systems.
- !Always prepare Calcium Nitrate in a separate Tank A or apply on separate days.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions: Calcium Nitrate (15.5% N + 18.8% Ca)
You likely mixed Calcium Nitrate with a fertilizer containing Sulphate (like SOP or Zinc Sulphate) or Phosphate (like 19:19:19). Calcium reacts instantly with sulphate to form Gypsum (Plaster of Paris) which chokes emitters. Always use a dual-tank system.
