Nitrogen-lime, granulated

Technical potential of nitrogen-lime fertilizer from EuroChem

The mineral fertilizer «Azo-lime, gr.» from the Swiss manufacturer EuroChem is a complex system where nitrogen (in the 25–35% range) is functionally linked to calcium (CaO) and magnesium (MgO). Unlike classic ammonium nitrate, this formulation minimizes soil acidification, which is critical for maintaining a stable pH level in intensive agriculture.

Granule engineering and bioavailability

The granular form of the product ensures controlled solubility in the soil solution. The EuroChem technological solution is aimed at the prolonged release of nitrogen, which eliminates the risk of sudden spikes in salt concentration in the root zone. The presence of calcium and magnesium acts as a synergist: they not only participate in building plant cell walls but also facilitate better transport of nitrogenous compounds through the plant's vascular system.

Application protocols and agronomic efficiency

The fertilizer demonstrates high performance on a wide range of crops: from cereals and sunflower to vegetable and fodder groups. Using the granulate as a basal application or local row fertilization allows for targeted yield management:

• For basal application, the calculated rate is 300–400 kg/ha to support the formation of a robust vegetative apparatus.
• For maintenance fertilization, the optimal consumption varies from 100 to 300 kg/ha, depending on the development phase and soil nutrient availability.

Thanks to its balanced chemical profile, the fertilizer has almost no time restrictions (up to 1 day before harvest), allowing it to be used for nutritional corrections even in late growth stages. The practical application of «Azo-lime, gr.» allows agronomists to achieve a synergistic effect: increased productivity through accessible nitrogen and simultaneous improvement of soil structure thanks to the calcium component.
