2. Ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrate

   Ammonium nitrate is an important fertilizer with NPK rating 34-0-0 (34% nitrogen). [17] It is less concentrated than urea (46-0-0), giving ammonium nitrate a slight transportation disadvantage. Ammonium nitrate's advantage over urea is that it is more stable and does not rapidly lose nitrogen to the atmosphere.

3. UAN - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAN

   The combination of urea and ammonium nitrate has an extremely low critical relative humidity (18% at 30 °C) and can therefore only be used in liquid fertilizers. The most commonly used grade of these fertilizer solutions is UAN 32.0.0 (32%N) known as UN32 or UN-32, which consists of 45% ammonium nitrate, 35% urea and only 20% water. Other ...

4. Calcium ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_ammonium_nitrate

   The term "calcium ammonium nitrate" is applied to multiple different, but closely related formulations. One variety of calcium ammonium nitrate is made by adding powdered limestone to ammonium nitrate; [1] [2] another, fully water-soluble version, is a mixture of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, which crystallizes as a hydrated double salt: [3] 5Ca(NO 3) 2 •NH 4 NO 3 •10H 2 O.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer

   Calcium ammonium nitrate Is a blend of 20-30% limestone CaCO 3 or dolomite (Ca,Mg)CO 3 and 70-80% ammonium nitrate with 24-28 % nitrogen. Calcium nitrate with 15,5% nitrogen and 19% calcium, reportedly holding a small share of the nitrogen fertilizer market (4% in 2007).

7. Labeling of fertilizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labeling_of_fertilizer

   Fertilizers are usually labeled with three numbers, as in 18-20-10, indicating the relative content of the primary macronutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), respectively. More precisely, the first number ("N value") is the percentage of elemental nitrogen by weight in the fertilizer; that is, the mass fraction of nitrogen ...
