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 Sulfate offers a readily available source of Sulfur to the growing crop.
- Ammonium Nitrate is the most efficient and predictable form of Nitrogen for UK growers.
- A True Granular Compound ensures even and accurate spread across the crop. DoubleTop has the right balance of Nitrogen to Sulfur for spring application.
- Part of a range of CF Fertilizers NS grades, providing flexibility in grade and rate applied.
- Features
- Contains Ammonium Sulfate.
- Contains Ammonium Nitrate.
- A True Granular Compound.
- Manufactured at sites which are accredited to ISO 9001.
- Benefits
- A readily available form of Sulfur for rapid uptake – elemental Sulfur cannot be taken up directly by crops because plants only take up Sulfur in the Sulfate form.
- AN is the most efficient Nitrogen source and the ‘Best Option for the Environment and Farming’ according to Government research.
- Even application of all nutrients across the whole spreader bout width, which optimizes nutrient use efficiency and crop response.
- Reliable product with consistent high quality, every year.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Application Technique
- Applications
- Oilseed Rape- spring application where early use of Sulfur is required. Apply 265kg/ha product (80kg SO3/ha) followed by Nitram® up to the required N rate.
- Winter Cereals- spring application at 170kg/ha product (50kg SO3/ha) followed by Nitram up to the required N rate.
- Application Rates
Product application rate Nutrient application rate kg/ha N kg/ha SO3 kg/ha S kg/ha 125 34 38 15 250 68 75 30 375 101 113 45 500 135 150 60 Notes:
- For cereals, the optimum Sulfur application rate is 50kg SO3 /ha.
- For oilseed rape, the optimum Sulfur rate is 112kg SO3 /ha.
- 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)
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
- Sulphur Facts
- Sulfur is very mobile in the soil and can leach through the soil profile. Where large amounts are required it is advisable to split the recommended requirement in two applications.
- Foliar applied Sulfur is a less efficient approach to correcting Sulfur deficiency. This is because only 2% of the Sulfur is intercepted and absorbed through the leaf.
- The average UK deposition of Sulfur is now negligible compared with the 25kg SO3 /ha/year of 20 years ago. In fact Sulfur deposition is no longer measured, due to such low levels occurring.
- Organic manures contain Sulfur, but in variable quantity and availability. Like elemental Sulfur, most of the Sulfur in organic manures cannot directly be taken up by crops for growth (however availability is much improved if manures are applied in the spring).
- 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 CO2 e 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 DoubleTop is 3.6kg CO2 e per kg Nitrogen.
