Product Highlights

Due to its digestible form, after entering the soil, it quickly breaks down and provides plants with nitrogen food. When ammonium nitrate is absorbed by the soil, its form changes in a timely manner, this process is easily regulated, taking into account the soil-climatic conditions and the period of application of the product.

The research done using isotope methods shows that from the nitrogen introduced with the fertilizers, the plants usually use from 35% to 50%. About 20–30% of fertilizer nitrogen is immobilized by soil microorganisms.

Advantages

Agricultural crops differ in their nitrogen requirements for the formation of their production. These specific needs and the conditions under which they are grown are the basis for determining nitrogen mineral fertilization.

In the absence of sufficient nitrogen in plants, the following is observed:

  • Slow growth
  • Initially pale green, yellow-green and even yellow foliage with subsequent browning and dieback of the leaves
  • Low resistance to abiotic and biotic stress
  • Premature ripening

The excess of nitrogen:

  • Accelerates growth, foliage grows wildly and acquires a dark green color
  • The sterile and growing season is extended
  • Excess nitrates and proteins accumulate
  • Plants become resistant to disease, frost and drought
  • The technological and taste qualities of the product deteriorate
