AMMONIUM NITRATE (NH ₄ NO ₃)

With added calcium and magnesium

GOST 2-2013 (CN of FEA code 3102 30 900 0)

Ammonia nitrate is an universal nitrogen fertilizer consisting of 34,4% nitrogen-on half in fluent, quickly digestible nitrate form and half in slow and continuous of ammonia action. Fertilizer fully and rapidly assimilated by plants, it has a widespread effect on different crops. Nitrate is produced in two grades: "A" grade is used as a raw material in industry, and also for manufacturing of elementary explosives and "B" grade – in agriculture.

Chemical product brucite is additionally added to ammonium nitrate produced by JSC “Maxam-Chirchiq”. The main purpose of this is to provide mechanical hardness of the product, longer storage and retention of free moisture in ammonium nitrate. The addition of brucite also ensures product granularity, prevents hardening and crushing of grains. In addition, the macronutrients calcium and magnesium are formed in the product. These elements serve to ensure that nitrogen is not lost and is well assimilated by plants, have a positive effect on the condition and taste of the crop, the growth of crops, strengthening the stem.

 

The effect of nitrogen on plants

Nitrogen is essential for plants to grow and develop. First of all, it helps to regulate the growth of the vegetative mass, promotes the metabolism of the crop, as well as the production of the crop.

The macronutrient plays an important role in the functioning of the stem and leaves. Plants absorb nitrogen more actively during the formation and formation of stems, as well as green mass. Therefore, it is very important to monitor the stages of plant development and its external condition.

The characteristic signs symptoms of nitrogen deficiency are reduced growth activity, small leaves, and pale green or yellowish leaves. Signs first appear on older leaves, which turn yellow and wilt with progressive deficiency.

 

The effect of calcium on plants

Calcium is involved in many metabolic processes that occur inside the plant. It is necessary for the formation of a good structure of cell walls and their division. It affects the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins. The need for calcium is manifested in the earliest stages of growth, it is necessary for building a plant.

Calcium is part of the cell walls. Calcium regulates the water balance, binds soil acids, provides normal conditions for the development of the root system of plants, improves the solubility of many compounds in the soil.

 

The effect of magnesium on plants

Magnesium is a macronutrient that plays an important role in the life of every plant. He takes part in the activation of the growth and development of the crop, which is reflected in the condition and taste of the crop.

Magnesium is also essential for plant nutrition. It is the active nutrient in magnesium fertilizers.

Magnesium fertilizers are especially loved by plants:

-  Cereals

-  Potato

-  Soy and other legumes

-  Vegetable crops

-  Fruit crops

It is also important to remember about the signs of magnesium deficiency in plants:

-  Spots with a dark brown tint appear on the surface of the leaves.

-  The lower leaves of plants acquire a yellow tint in a short time.

-  Old leaves curl into a tube and fall off.
