Calcium Ammonium Nitrate - The nitrogenous fertilizer with high efficiency

In professional plant cultivation, the efficient supply of plants with nutrients, with a low level of loss, is of great importance. This applies primarily to nitrogen, which has a direct influence on yield development. Thanks to its special properties, supply adjusted to the needs of the plant is very important. A professional nitrogen fertilizer is characterised by certain effectiveness and high efficiency.

Properties

Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN), the granulated nitrogen fertilizer, guarantees the secure supply of plants with nitrogen.
The combination of ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen makes CAN an all-rounder for all fertilizer measures. The excellent granulation and specific surface coating guarantee that it can be stored optimally and has very good spreading properties with working widths of over 40 m.

 

Effect

The composition of fast-working nitrate nitrogen and delayed-effect ammonium nitrogen is optimal for providing all crops with targeted nutrition. The nitrogen that is made available is absorbed directly by the plant and nutrient losses are almost eliminated. This increases yields in comparison to fertilizers containing amide. Furthermore, with its CaCO3 component CAN protects the lime content of the soil.

 

Application

CAN can be applied universally and is suitable for all crops, fertilizer measures, soils and locations. The main components nitrate and ammonium are present in an ideal ratio and make CAN a flexible universal fertilizer for healthy plant growth in agriculture and horticulture.
