Calcium nitrate salt" 5Ca(NO).NHNO·10HO. This is called calcium ammonium nitrate. Formulations lacking ammonia are also known: Ca(NO)·4HO (11.9-0-0 + 16.9 Ca) and the water-free 17-0-0 + 23.6 Ca. A liquid formulation (9-0-0 + 11 Ca) is also offered. An anhydrous, air-stable derivative is the urea complex Ca(NO)·4[OC(NH)], which has been sold as Cal-Urea. Calcium nitrate is also used to control certain plant diseases. For example, dilute calcium nitrate (and calcium chloride) sprays are used to control bitter pit and cork spot in apple trees. Calcium nitrate is used in waste water pre-conditioning for odour emission prevention. The waste water pre-conditioning is based
European Calcium Society Heizmann has sponsored the publication of significant articles in the scientific journal Biochimica et Biophysica Acta. A newsletter is also produced twice a year (May and November). In 2007, ECS launched its first workshop, in Ariège (France). The second took place in June 2009 in Smolenice (Slovakia). European Calcium Society The European Calcium Society is a non-profit society that aims to develop relationships between different generations of scientists in Europe working in the field of calcium signaling and the proteins involved in the Calcium Toolkit. The First European Symposium took place in 1989 and covered calcium binding proteins in normal
