Ammonium Nitrate (AN)
Ammonium Nitrate plays a crucial role in global agriculture, helping to increase crop yields and support food production. It is also essential for the manufacturing of various chemical products. As the demand for sustainable agricultural solutions grows, Ammonium Nitrate remains a key component in ensuring higher productivity and more efficient use of resources in farming.
Alta Group® works to facilitate the steady supply of Ammonium Nitrate to businesses around the world, helping connect producers with buyers and ensuring reliable and safe transactions in every step of the process.
Climate Conditions
Ideal for temperate and cooler climates, Ammonium Nitrate is well-suited to areas with moderate rainfall and those with relatively short growing seasons. It is highly effective in regions where rapid plant growth is needed within a limited time.
Soil Types
Ammonium Nitrate is effective in a variety of soil types, including loam, sandy, and clay soils. It helps balance soil nutrient levels, especially in nitrogen-deficient soils.
Flexible Application
Ammonium Nitrate is suitable for a wide range of crops, including cereals, vegetables, fruits, and root crops. Its versatility allows farmers to use it across different agricultural practices, including field crops, horticulture, and greenhouse farming.
Fast-Acting Nitrogen Source
Ammonium Nitrate provides plants with an immediate and available form of nitrogen. This quick release allows crops to access nutrients faster, leading to rapid growth and development, particularly in nitrogen-deficient soils.
Enhanced Crop Yields
When applied to the soil, Ammonium Nitrate helps improve soil structure by increasing the nitrogen content, which is essential for plant metabolism. Its application helps maintain an optimal balance of soil nutrients, leading to improved soil health and more sustainable farming practices.
Improved Soil Fertility
By supplying essential nitrogen, Ammonium Nitrate helps increase photosynthesis, plant health, and overall productivity. Its high nitrogen content supports enhanced root development, greater resistance to disease, and more robust plants.
Highly Efficient
Ammonium Nitrate offers high solubility, meaning it dissolves quickly in soil and is readily absorbed by plant roots. This efficient nitrogen uptake ensures crops receive the nutrients they need when they need them most, promoting healthier and more uniform growth.
Cost-Effective Fertilizer
With its high nitrogen concentration, Ammonium Nitrate offers an efficient, cost-effective solution for boosting crop yields. Farmers can achieve the same or better results with smaller quantities compared to other less concentrated fertilizers.
