Results for tag: "Calcium Ammonium Nitrate"

Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) is a fertilizer used in agriculture to provide nitrogen and calcium to crops. It is a compound of calcium, nitrogen, and oxygen, and is produced by combining calcium carbonate with ammonium nitrate. CAN is a slow-release fertilizer, meaning it releases nitrogen over a longer period of time than other fertilizers. This makes it ideal for use in areas with low rainfall, as it helps to reduce the risk of leaching. CAN is also used to improve soil structure and fertility, and to reduce soil acidity. CAN is widely used in the agricultural industry, and is available in both granular and liquid forms. It is often used in combination with other fertilizers, such as urea and potassium chloride, to provide a balanced nutrient supply to crops. Some companies in the CAN market include Yara International, PotashCorp, Agrium, and CF Industries. Show Less Read more
