 Grade B ammonium nitrate
Universal highly concentrated nitrogen fertilizer containing ammoniac and nitrate forms of nitrogen in equal ratios.
Ammonium nitrate is a unique nitrogen fertilizer that is used for all kinds of soils and crops. It is most effective for fertilizing winter grain-crops in early spring and as the main fertilizer for spring grain-crops, corn, sunflower, etc. Application of ammonium nitrate in small doses reduces the losses of nitric nitrogen due to leaching.
Ammonium nitrate is a useful element for bulk blends.
