- Nitrogen is found in the two forms assimilable by plants – ammonium nitrogen (NH4–N) and nitrate nitrogen (NO3–N)
- The two forms of nitrogen combine very successfully under field conditions, making it suitable for almost all soil types and crops – for nutririon and correction
- Dissolves rapidly in the soil and has a weak physiological acid reaction
Ammonium Nitrate (AN)
Ammonium nitrate (AN) is the most widely applied nitrogen fertilizer for fertilizing all types of crops, with a total nitrogen content of 34%. It is the fastest acting granular nitrogen fertilizer suitable for all types of feeding.

Ammonium nitrate is not recommended for fertilizing acid and neutral soils. Excessive fertilization with ammonium nitrate leads to acidification of the soil, which in turn negatively affects the nutrient uptake by plants. Application at high rates is not recommended due to its rapid action and consequent risk of leaching and/or overfertilization with nitrate nitrogen.
