- Chemical formula - NH4NO3
- A concentrated, granular and an excellent source of Nitrogen for plant nutrition, containing equal parts of ammonia and nitrate nitrogen. Nitrate form is immediately available for plant uptake and the ammonium form is gradually converted to nitrate by soil microorganisms.
- Period: Autumn, Spring.
Advantages
- Yields rapid growth and helps increase fruit production capacity of a plant.
- Less susceptible to volatilisation losses than urea-based fertilisers when left on the soil surface.
- Improves the quality of green leafy vegetables since Nitrogen is involved in photosynthesis and protein formation.
