Ammonium nitrate, grade B (GOST 2-85), kg

Technical Profile of Agron Ammonium Nitrate

Ammonium nitrate Grade B (GOST 2-85) from the manufacturer "Agron" is a high-efficiency mineral fertilizer containing 25–35% nitrogen. The granular form of the product is a key engineering solution ensuring even distribution across the field. Due to the high density of the granules, the fertilizer maintains its physical properties during transport and mechanical application, minimizing dust formation and loss of the active substance.

Chemical Activity and Nutritional Mechanism

The nitrogen component is presented in two forms: nitrate and ammonium. This combination ensures prolonged nutrition for crops: nitrate nitrogen is quickly absorbed by the root system at the start of vegetation, while ammonium is retained by the soil absorption complex, creating a reserve for subsequent growth phases. This is critical for winter wheat and rapeseed, where nitrogen demand peaks after the winter dormancy period.

Application Practices: Rates and Timing

The recommended application scheme allows for up to two treatments per season. The flexibility of usage allows "Agron" to be applied as:

• Base fertilizer before cultivation;
• In-row starter fertilizer;
• Early spring top-dressing to stimulate vegetative mass.

Application rates vary from 100 to 400 kg/ha and should be adjusted based on soil analysis results and targeted yield. For vegetable and melon crops, lower to medium dosage ranges are optimal, whereas industrial crops and cereals require maximum values to reach their full productive potential.

Operational Features

The high hygroscopicity of the granules requires proper storage in dry warehouse conditions. In the field, it is essential to ensure that granules are covered with soil during primary tillage, which reduces the risk of gaseous nitrogen losses. When applying in rows, it is necessary to strictly control the distance between the fertilizer and the seedbed to avoid chemical burns to the root system during the early stages of plant development.
