Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)

• Nitrogen (N): 26% – 27% (Ammoniacal + Nitrate form) 

• Calcium (Ca): 8% – 10% 

• Moisture: Max 0.5% 

• Physical Form: Granular, free flowing 

• Solubility: Water-soluble 

• Colour: White to greyish 

• Compatibility: Compatible with most fertilizers and pesticides 

1. Dual Nitrogen Supply: Offers both nitrate and ammoniacal nitrogen for immediate and sustained crop uptake, resulting in faster growth and greener foliage. 
2. Improves Soil Health: The calcium content neutralizes soil acidity and enhances soil structure by reducing compaction and increasing water infiltration. 
3. Boosts Nutrient Uptake: Calcium enhances root strength and improves nutrient absorption, leading to stronger plants and higher resilience to stress. 
4. Enhances Fruit Quality: Encourages better fruit development, firmness, and shelf life, especially in fruits and vegetables like tomatoes, grapes, potatoes, and citrus. 
5. Reduces Nitrogen Leaching: The nitrate is immediately available to plants while ammonium binds to soil particles, reducing the risk of leaching and environmental contamination. 
6. Prevents Blossom End Rot: In crops like tomatoes and peppers, CAN helps prevent calcium deficiency-related disorders such as blossom end rot. 
7. Resists Caking: The granular form resists moisture absorption and caking, making it easy to handle and spread. 
8. Ideal for Climate-Resilient Farming: Performs well under varying climatic conditions and supports crops during drought and excessive rainfall. 
9. Minimizes Soil Degradation: The buffering effect of calcium limits acidification commonly caused by other nitrogen fertilizers. 
10. Environmentally Safer: Less volatile than urea, reducing nitrogen loss to the atmosphere and ensuring more efficient use. 

• Method of Application: 

• Broadcasting before irrigation or rainfall 

• Side dressing near the root zone 

• Fertigation (if available in water-soluble grade) 

• Top dressing during vegetative and flowering stages 

• First Application: At the early vegetative stage for root development 

• Second Application: At flowering or fruit-setting stage to boost yield and fruit quality 

• Repeat Applications: Can be done depending on crop nutrient requirement, usually in 20–30-day intervals 

• Avoid direct contact of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate with skin and eyes; wear gloves while handling. 

• Do not mix Calcium Ammonium Nitrate with acidic or strongly alkaline substances. 

• Store Calcium Ammonium Nitrate in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from moisture and heat sources. 

• Ensure uniform distribution to prevent nutrient imbalance in the field. 

• Avoid applying Calcium Ammonium Nitrate during peak heat or windy conditions to prevent nutrient loss. 

• 25 kg, 50 kg HDPE woven sacks with inner liner 

• Customized bulk packaging options available for large-scale agricultural use 

Each pack is labelled with product specifications, safety instructions, and usage guidelines for farmer reference.
