Ammonium nitrate, grade B (GOST 2-85), kg

Nitrogenous fertilizer, used for mineral feeding of crops in all soil-climate zones of Ukraine during main, pre-sowing application and for top-dressing of agricultural crops.

Among all fertilizers, it holds the first place in agricultural use, accounting for 55-60% of the market of mineral fertilizers in Ukraine.

Highest efficiency is achieved when used for early spring top-dressing of winter wheat and winter rapeseed, surface or local application before or at sowing of spring crops, as well as for top-dressing of technical, vegetable, and melon crops.

As a main fertilizer, ammonium nitrate should be applied at 1.5 to 3.0 tons per hectare; for top-dressing — 1.0 to 1.5 tons per hectare. Particularly effective for early spring top-dressing of winter wheat and rye. Crop yield increase from this practice ranges from 3 to 5 tons per hectare.

Its advantages include readily available nitrogen for plants in both ammonium and nitrate forms in a 50-50 ratio.

As a treatment, ammonium nitrate may contain various anti-caking agents: dolomitic, sulfate, and magnesium.
