Granulated Calcium Ammonium Nitrate

Optimizing Nitrogen Efficiency with Calcium and Magnesium

The Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) produced by Nitrogénművek, Ltd. (Hungary) represents a sophisticated approach to crop nutrition, moving beyond simple nitrogen application to a balanced delivery system. By integrating nitrogen (25-35%) with calcium and magnesium, the manufacturer ensures that nutrient uptake is optimized while maintaining soil stability.

Technical Composition and Field Performance

The primary engineering goal of this fertilizer is to prevent the acidification typically associated with traditional ammonium nitrate. The inclusion of dolomite-based compounds provides a buffering effect in the root zone. This is particularly crucial for intensive production of winter wheat, barley, rapeseed, and maize, where a stable soil pH is required to ensure that trace elements remain bioavailable throughout the growing season.

Strategic Application Benefits

• Granule Integrity: The physical architecture of the granules is designed for high-precision spreading. With consistent size and high crush strength, the material resists degradation during handling and ensures a uniform distribution pattern, minimizing striping and nutrient wastage.
• Dual-Action Nitrogen: The product delivers nitrate nitrogen for immediate uptake during the critical spring growth stages, coupled with ammonium nitrogen, which remains in the soil complex for sustained, long-term development.
• Yield Potential: By incorporating magnesium, the fertilizer directly supports the chlorophyll synthesis cycle. This allows for faster recovery from overwintering and supports higher biomass production in corn and sunflowers during peak vegetative stages.

By choosing this Hungarian-made grade of fertilizer, agronomists gain a reliable, 4th-hazard class product that simplifies nutrient management while promoting long-term soil health. It is an ideal solution for primary application and precision spring top-dressing, tailored to the physiological demands of modern high-yielding crops.
