Calcium nitrate, also called Norgessalpeter (Norwegian saltpeter) and Kalksalpeter, is a white coloured soluble salt with the formula Ca(NO₃)₂. It is commonly found as a monohydrate, with the formula Ca(NO₃)₂.H₂O and a molecular weight of 182.11 g/mol. [1] [It is deliquescent, readily absorbing moisture from the air. It is used as a reagent, a pyrotechnic and a fertilizer. The fertilizer grade (15.5-0-0 + 19% Ca) is popular in the greenhouse and hydroponics trades; it has some ammonium nitrate and water incorporated in the molecular structure as 5Ca(NO₃)₂.NH₄NO₃.10H₂O. There also is a formulation without ammonia: Ca(NO₃)₂.3H₂O (12.8-0-0 + 18.3%Ca). This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...

Norgessalpeter was the first nitrogen fertilizer compound to be manufactured. Production began at Notodden, Norway in 1905. Most of the world's calcium nitrate is now made in Porsgrunn.
