Ammonium Calcium Nitrate (CAN)

The advantages of  Ammonium nitrate 

1. It is universal – can be applied in the case of all types of crops, regardless of the application period (before sowing, for top dressing).

2. Can be considered as near-neutral in its effect on soil pH and therefore can be used on soils that have a low pH without lowering further

3. For use on perennial fruit crops (where soil incorporation of lime is difficult)

4. It is a nitrogen fertilizer which contains equal parts of fast acting nitrate-nitrogen and longer lasting ammonium-nitrogen

5. Volatilization of nitrogen from  Ammonium calcium nitrate is negligible, therefore the timing of the applications is flexible

1. Chemical Analysis

2. Application 

l The composition of readily available nitrate nitrogen and reserved N (nitrate available after its conversion from ammonium nitrogen) is optimal for providing all crops with targeted nutrition. The nitrate nitrogen that is available immediately after the application and absorbed in water is taken up directly by the plant and nutrient losses are almost eliminated.

l  is a hygroscopic product and needs very low moisture to be absorbed by the plants. It is equally effective in water stressed areas where soil has low moisture.

l Calcium and Sulfur available in CAN is also helpful in soil reclamation.

4. Application Recommendations

It can be applied in base dressings and side dressings, but the actual rates will depend on the farm type, the region and the season. It is most beneficial however when split applied (where possible) on a 4 - 6 weekly basis to ensure a continuous nitrogen supply.

Actual spreading rates will vary according to farm type, climate, productivity, soil type and crop type. Soil testing and fertilizer plans are available to ensure you use the right product at the correct rate.
