CF is the UK’s leading fertilizer manufacturer and the only UK producer of prilled Nitrogen and True Granular Compounds, with a range of NS, NKS, NPK and NPKS fertilizers to meet UK farming conditions.
We manufacture our products to ISO 9001 standards. That means you can rely on CF Fertilizers to deliver the highest quality fertilizers consistently, every year, giving you optimum product performance and peace of mind.
Features & Benefits
- Agrochemicals Features
- Product Description
Ammonium Nitrate is the most efficient and predictable form of Nitrogen for UK growers. Government commissioned trials that compared alternate sources of Nitrogen found that AN only lost 3% as Ammonia to the atmosphere. Urea average losses were 24% and as high as 58% in certain circumstances.
Prilled for improved aerodynamics, Nitram achieves an even spread pattern due to its consistency and even spreading qualities.
With Nitram product density at 1,000kg/cubic meter and urea density at 750kg/cubic meter, any spreader hopper will contain the same kgs Nitrogen whether it contains Nitram or urea.
- Features
- A very predictable and efficient source of Nitrogen.
- Contains Ammonium Nitrate.
- Consistent prills.
- Nitram gives application accuracy and minimizes environmental concerns.
- Manufactured at sites which are accredited to ISO 9001.
- Benefits
- Nitram has been made consistently and marketed for 50 years (2015), providing growers with confidence and performance.
- AN is the most efficient Nitrogen source and the ‘Best Option for the Environment and Farming’ according to Government research.
- Nitram spreads evenly up to 36m (with a correctly calibrated spreader – see over for advice).
- CF Fertilizers Advice and Services such as N-Min® & N-Calc improve production efficiency by optimizing fertilizer use.
- Reliable product with consistent high quality, every year
Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Applicable Crop
- Application Technique
- Applications
- For arable crops requiring efficient management, Nitram provides a very predictable source of Nitrogen in terms of its availability to the crop.
- For grassland situations Nitram provides a predictable and highly responsive Nitrogen source to support your nutrient management plan and growth targets.

145 50 220 76 290 100 435 150 580 200 Notes:
- For cereals improve N efficiency by applying no more than 100kg N/ha in one dressing.
- For oilseed rape split N applications according to canopy management rules.
- For rates over 80kg N/ha on grassland (for first cut silage), split the dressing equally with applications at least four weeks apart.
- To convert from kg product/ha to bags/acre, multiply by 0.4, then divide by 50 (e.g. 250kg product/ha x 0.4 = 100/50 = 2 bags/acre).
- To convert from kg nutrient/ha to units/acre, multiply by 0.8 (e.g. 200kg N/ha x 0.8 = 160 units N/acre) pattern due to its consistency and even spreading qualities.
Calibrate before you spread for application rate and spread pattern
CF Fertilizers products spread to 32m bout widths. Widths of 36m are achievable with certain spreaders and products in suitable conditions, however, please seek advice. It is important to maintain fertilizer spreaders, whatever bout width you work at.

Technical Details & Test Data
- More Yield Less CO2
At CF Fertilizers we are committed to improving carbon efficiency in our production processes. All of our products have a carbon footprint, certified by the Carbon Trust in June 2012 and reviewed annually.
CF Fertilizers has promised to reduce the footprint of Nitrogen production, demonstrating an on-going commitment to carbon reduction. The footprints for fertilizer products are given as kg CO2e per kg Nitrogen (N). Most fertilizer usage is considered on the basis of N requirement, so this allows the simplest comparison between our products for a given crop requirement.
The Carbon Footprint for Nitram is 3.4kg CO2e per kg Nitrogen (a reduction of 40% from the 2010 baseline).
