UAN
Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) is one of the most commonly used fertilizers in the world, and iscomposed of a mixture of urea (CH 4 N 2 O) and ammonium nitrate (NH 4 NO 3 ) in water. A common type of fertilizers commercialized is UAN 32, which is composed by 20% of water, 35% of urea and 45% ammonium nitration, totalizing 32% of total nitrogen concentration.
Advantages of UAN
- UAN provides prolonged nutrition of plants with nitrogen, allows you to adjust the nutrition in the key phases of plant growing, increase the missing factors in development, to obtain the necessary characteristics of commercial products (protein, gluten, brewing barley, etc.);
- Has high application efficiency in all climatic zones, including "dry";
- The cost of nitrogen in UAN is lower, since nitrogen costs do not exceed 10% of total nitrogen when UAN is applied, while 30-40% when applying granular nitrogen fertilizers;
- UAN application as liquid fertilizers is more even than it is posible for solid and granular;
- Reduces technological costs, due to the possibility of combining UAN introduction in a mixture with pesticides and other liquid mineral fertilizers (in the first place, with micronutrients);
- It is possible to use for fractional fertilizing of vegetative plants. At the same time, root and foliar top feeding can take place;
- UAN 32 is non-toxic, non-flammable and not-explosive, does not pollute the environment. Due to the lack of free ammonia in the UAN, it does not evaporate into the atmosphere;
- Can be transported in any capacity – plastic, stainless, carbon steel.
