Non-acid forming nitrogen-calcium fertilizer containing zinc and copper, the elements that help plants assimilate nitrogen and magnesium from soil solution.
Calcuim-ammonium nitrate (CAN) contains ammonia and nitric nitrogen in equal ratios and is a universal highly effective mineral fertilizer.
Calcium is an important element of cell walls and a integral part of chromosomes’ structure. This secondary element helps to regulate plants’ enzyme activity which in its turn secures the uptake of other nutrious elements, particularly nitrogen. Calcium helps to strengthen grain-crops’ stems, increases the hull solidity and improves the color and the quality of tubers, roots and fruits and reduces the losses in storage of agricultural products.
Simultaneous application of nitrogen and calcium makes it possible to avoid liming and in this way reduces the number of runs of technical equipment across the field and cuts POL expenditures.
CAN can be used both as an independent fertilizer and for production of bulk blends.
