Product type
Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) is a nitrogenous fertilizer that combines calcium and ammonium nitrate. It is typically produced by neutralizing nitric acid with calcium carbonate, resulting in a stable compound that provides both nitrogen and calcium to plants. CAN is highly soluble in water, making it readily available for plant uptake, which enhances crop growth and yields.
| Chemical formula | Ca(NO3)2·4H2O |
| Nitrogen content | 15.5% to 27% by weight |
| Calcium content | up to 20% by weight |
| Solubility | Highly soluble in water |
| Granule size | 1 to 4 mm |
When choosing Calcium Ammonium Nitrate, consider the nitrogen and calcium content required for your specific crops. It's important to specify the desired granule size and solubility based on your application method. Additionally, inquire about any relevant certifications or quality standards that may be necessary for your agricultural practices. Quantities should be determined based on the scale of your farming operations and crop requirements.
