Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)
Calcium Ammonium Nitrate is a compound fertilizer containing both nitrate nitrogen (NO₃⁻) and ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺), as well as soluble calcium (Ca²⁺) within its molecular structure. This formulation makes CAN a highly efficient and balanced nitrogen-calcium fertilizer, offering both rapid and sustained nutrient release.
Description
Product Name:
Agricultural-Grade Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (Calcium Ammonium Nitrate, CAN)
Chemical Properties / Composition:
Calcium Ammonium Nitrate is a compound fertilizer containing both nitrate nitrogen (NO₃⁻) and ammonium nitrogen (NH₄⁺), as well as soluble calcium (Ca²⁺) within its molecular structure. This formulation makes CAN a highly efficient and balanced nitrogen-calcium fertilizer, offering both rapid and sustained nutrient release.
Product Advantages & Features
- Dual Nitrogen Sources with Calcium Supplementation Nitrate Nitrogen: Rapidly absorbed by plants to promote fresh growth. Ammonium Nitrogen: Provides slow-release action for consistent nitrogen supply. Soluble Calcium: Contributes to cell wall structure, enhancing plant stability and resilience.
- 100% Water-Soluble Fully dissolves in water with no insoluble residue. Ideal for drip irrigation, sprinkler systems, fertigation, and foliar application.
- Promotes Healthy Root and Plant Development Nitrogen sources stimulate root branching and growth. Calcium strengthens cellular structure, enhances root vigor, and improves nutrient transport efficiency.
- Enhances Fruit and Vegetable Quality Balanced calcium supplementation reduces fruit cracking and increases firmness. Improves flavor, color, and post-harvest storage performance of produce.
- Reduces Risk of Soil Acidification CAN exhibits near-neutral pH properties and does not acidify soil like certain other nitrogen fertilizers. Long-term use helps maintain stable soil structure.
- Flexible Application and High Compatibility Can be blended with other water-soluble fertilizers (e.g., secondary and micronutrients, phosphorus fertilizers). OEM/formulation customization available to meet diverse customer requirements.
Technical Specifications
