Plants enriched with CAN (Calcium Ammonium Nitrate) not only with nitrogen but also with magnesium and calcium.
Advantages of calcium ammonium nitrate fertilizer:
- It is universal – can be applied in the case of all types of crops, regardless of the application period (before sowing, for top dressing).
- It contains calcium and magnesium which improve the efficiency of absorbing nitrogen by the plants’ roots and reduce nitrogen losses, thus making fertilization more profitable; it also protects subsoil waters against pollution by nitrogen compounds. It can lengthen the florescence, and promote the root, stem & leaf to grow normally. Ensuring the colour of the fruit is bright and the fruit candy can be increased.
- Can be considered near-neutral in its effect on soil pH and therefore can be used on soils that have a low pH without lowering it further
- For use on perennial fruit crops (where soil incorporation of lime is difficult)
- It is a nitrogen fertilizer which contains equal parts of fast-acting nitrate-nitrogen and longer-lasting ammonium-nitrogen
- Volatilization of nitrogen from calcium ammonium nitrate is negligible, therefore the timing of the applications
