Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer

Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula NH₄NO₃. It is a white crystalline salt consisting of ions of ammonium and nitrate. It is highly soluble in water and hygroscopic as a solid, but does not form hydrates. It is predominantly used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertilizer. Our Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer – 33.5% Nitrogen. For dry solid fertilizers, ammonia nitrate fertilizer has one of the highest percentages of nitrogen content.

For dry solid fertilizers, ammonia nitrate fertilizer has one of the highest percentages of nitrogen content. It is half ammonium and half nitrate, which delivers the nitrogen in different ways to support a good growing season. Most often, this fertilizer is applied in the spring before farmers plant anything. It's excellent for side-dressing corn and top-dressing small grains and grasses.

One thing to keep in mind about granular fertilizer is that if the croplands are sloped, you could experience serious runoff, leading to nutrition problems for your crops. Sloped lands require liquid nitrogen that is injected into the soil instead of placed on top.

Here are some key things you should know about ammonium nitrate:

• The common use case is for pastures and top-dress
• Dry, solid form
• Contains 33.5 percent nitrogen
• Includes 50 percent ammonia and 50 percent nitrate, which delivers immediate and delayed nitrogen supplies to crops
• Is extremely dense, which helps farmers cover large areas quickly
• Somewhat more challenging to get since it is a controlled product due to its potential use in explosives
