Ventana Plant Science Commercial Calcium Nitrate provides more calcium and nitrate by weight than most other dry calcium nitrate products available. Calcium is essential for plant cell wall and membrane construction and plays a crucial role in ion exchange and signaling pathways for many plant metabolic processes. Nitrates serve as the building blocks for amino acids and proteins necessary for plant tissue synthesis.
Key Features:
- High Purity and Solubility: VPS Commercial Calcium Nitrate comes in highly soluble prill form, quickly and completely dissolving into stock solutions. This ensures no precipitated solids at the bottom of your stock tanks, unlike other prilled base nutrients.
- Enhanced Nutrient Delivery: Contains a higher ratio of calcium to nitrogen than other calcium nitrate products, providing more calcium and nitrate by weight. This increased purity reduces cost and the amount of nutrients used.
- Essential for Plant Health: Calcium is vital for building cell walls and membranes, and acts as an ion exchange and signaling pathway for plant cell metabolic processes, such as plant immunity signaling and secondary messenger ion in nutrient availability signaling.
- Flexible Application: Suitable for delivering calcium throughout the entire crop’s growing cycle, it is highly soluble and easily goes into solution regardless of the water temperature.
Benefits:
- Supports Cell Wall and Membrane Construction: Essential for the development of strong cell walls and membranes, contributing to overall plant health and structural integrity.
- Promotes Metabolic Processes: Acts as an ion exchange and signaling pathway, aiding in crucial plant metabolic processes, including plant immunity signaling.
- Reduces Nutrient Costs: The high purity and solubility of VPS Commercial Calcium Nitrate reduce the cost and quantity of nutrients required, making it an economical choice for growers.
- No Negative Interactions: Contains no other ionic salts, eliminating the risk of negative interactions or precipitate formation in stock tanks. Stable up-to-stock solution rates of 1:200.
General Use Guide:
Created by reacting calcium oxide with nitric acid and a very small amount of ammonia, VPS Commercial Calcium Nitrate is a high-purity calcium nitrate. It can be used to deliver calcium throughout the entire crop’s growing cycle, ensuring plants receive consistent nutrition for optimal growth.
Application:
- Suitable for use in soil, soilless media, deep-water culture (DWC) systems, nutrient film technique (NFT) systems, and other traditional or hydroponic growing systems.
- For fertigation systems, ensure calcium-based fertilizers have their own respective tanks, or apply separately after the application of other nutrients.

A True Mystery Story
Silent Spring is as relevant today as it was 50 years ago. Our ground, our air, our food and we are bombarded with chemicals, carcinogens, products of all sorts to kill weeds and bugs and are capable of killing us. Rachel Carson, a biologist and talented writer, walks us through a litany of misuse and overuse of chemicals that have never been tested for safety to humans. Laws are on the books requiring this testing to be done, but it is disregarded because they make our grass greener, our bugs keel over dead and a lot of people rich. Carson is known best for revealing the reason that Bald Eagle eggs had such thin shells that they broke well before the required incubation before hatching. The drastic reduction is successful Eagle births was DDT. Because this is our national bird and is supported by activists in and out of government, DDT was banned and the eagles began producing young again. We have not been so lucky. This book is factual in a clear and understandable way, and it informs us of the human actions and choices that put us all at risk. No alarmist language is employed, but facts lead us to conclusions that are concerning. The stunning fact to me is that the book was written fifty years ago, and the same risks to humanity and our future are being taken today when we could find better ways of solving problems, more cautious ways of using chemicals and restricting their use in sensible ways. As I talk to people about the issues raised in this book, they have not heard of Rachel Carson and have heard nothing of the assured negative effects on our own health from the chemicals we expose ourselves to daily. We knew so much back then when Carson wrote this book. Why hasn't more been researched and shared with us, so we can have current knowledge of the facts and risks. It is important that Carson's writing not be buried on a dusty shelf. It is a real mystery story and we are the cast.

This should’ve been required reading since the ‘70’s.
Format: Hardcover
It takes a strong writer with a very clear view ( back in the early 60’s) to make a very sciency topic into a gripping read. Ms. Carson broke down a complex scientific relationship between chemicals and the welfare of the planet and those of us who live here.. All of us, down to the microbes. This is a very logical explanation of how all living things are dependent on a clean environment, and how profiteering companies have compromised the health of all life on earth in the name of fewer weeds, attractive produce at the market, and ignoring the failures of the chemical approach that disregards integrated pest management.
I promise you that it’s not a boring textbook study.
I was a pest control advisor for many years, and had I known then what I know now I’d have trusted less in what I was trained, looking harder into the collateral damage that was created, and pushed harder, sooner, to stop the use of carbamate, organophosphates, and other “harmless” pesticides and carriers that have destroyed a multitude of environmentally sensitive and important components of a healthy ecosystem that we may not recover from in the name of profit.
Other than that, it’s light reading!

Poor formatting on kindle version
Format: Kindle
Five stars for the book, 0 stars for the formatting of this kindle version. Every word that contains a double "l", such as "all", "Stillness", "hill", etc. omits the second "l" in the word. Universal y. Kil. Al. Germ cels. It is extremely annoying, and one or more on nearly every page. Is it possible to swap this one for a kindle version with better formatting?

Intense and Informative
Format: Paperback
This is some intense and easily consumed deep reading material, compelling us to gaze uncomfortably at and into the unflattering challenges which continue to face the African-American collective "Community," and delves head-on into examining & explaining how the "HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE" of Black People in the United States, those who were the unfortunate descendants of the Trans-Atlantic African Slave Trade, has both simultaneously "Strengthened" and "Hindered" hindered life for this segment of the North American population across the Generations, to where many of its effects are still being felt even to this very Day.
This is a powerful companion to Dr. Carol Anderson's excellent book on on the Societal struggles of Blacks in America - "WHITE RAGE: The Unspoken Truth Of Our Racial Divide"
