Calcium Ammonium Nitrate + Boron

Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) is a highly efficient, nitrogen-based fertilizer that combines two essential nutrients – ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). This dual-nutrient composition makes CAN a superior source of readily available nitrogen while simultaneously improving soil health through the presence of calcium. It is a white or off-white granular fertilizer that is water-soluble and suitable for a wide range of crops and soil types. CAN is especially effective in neutral to slightly acidic soils and plays a key role in sustaining high-yield farming. It can also be blended or applied alongside micronutrients to promote balanced nutrient uptake, strengthen plant resilience, and support optimal crop growth and productivity.

Calcium Ammonium Nitrate with Boron
Description Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) is a highly efficient, nitrogen-based fertilizer that combines two essential nutrients – ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) and calcium carbonate (CaCO₃). This dual-nutrient composition makes CAN a superior source of readily available nitrogen while simultaneously improving soil health through the presence of calcium.

Specification
  • 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 
Benefits
  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. 
Application Calcium Ammonium Nitrate can be applied to a wide range of crops including cereals (wheat, rice, maize), vegetables (tomato, onion, cabbage, cauliflower), fruits (grapes, banana, pomegranate), pulses, and oilseeds. 

  • Method of Application of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate with Boron: 
  • 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 
Time
  • First Application of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate with Boron: At the early vegetative stage for root development 
  • Second Application: At flowering or fruit-setting stage to boost yield and fruit quality 
  • Repeat Applications of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate with Boron: Can be done depending on crop nutrient requirement, usually in 20–30-day intervals 
Precaution
  • Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes; wear gloves while handling. 
  • Do not mix Calcium Ammonium Nitrate with Boron with acidic or strongly alkaline substances. 
  • Store Calcium Ammonium Nitrate with Boron 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 of Calcium Ammonium Nitrate with Boron during peak heat or windy conditions to prevent nutrient loss. 
Shelf Life 2 years from the date of manufacture if stored in ideal conditions—away from moisture and direct sunlight in sealed packaging.
