Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer is a type of fertilizer that contains a total of 33% nitrogen, including 16.5% ammonium and 16.5% nitrate nitrogen. Because of this feature and the fact that it is a fertilizer that dissolves quickly in the soil, it acts quickly and its effect lasts longer than other nitrogenous fertilizers.
No pH change is observed in the soil after Ammonium Nitrate application. It is a neutral type of fertilizer due to its structure and can be used easily in all types of soil. It is not recommended for use in areas with high rainfall since the nitrate nitrogen it contains is easily washed away. In such areas, Ammonium Nitrate should be used in 2-3 applications, not all at once. Such a practice also affects both efficiency and quality.
Since Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer dissolves quickly and without residue in water, it can be used in drip irrigation systems without any problems.
