Ammonium nitrate is a versatile nitrogen fertiliser for all types of crops, garden and ornamental plants.

Ammonium nitrate is a concentrated, fast-acting, single-amount nitrogen fertiliser containing two forms of nitrogen: the fast-acting nitrate nitrogen and the slower-acting ammoniacal nitrogen. Nitrogen is particularly important during periods of intense plant growth, as it stimulates and regulates many plant life processes.

It is a key element in photosynthesis and is also involved in the synthesis of amino acids, nucleic acids, proteins, vitamins, (RNA) and (DNA). Plants take up these fertilisers well, develop roots more quickly when fertilised, receive nutrients more quickly, consume less water, become more protein-rich and sugary, and have a longer growing season.

It is recommended to fertilise plants not only just before planting, but also throughout the growing season, as ammonium nitrate is highly soluble in water and washes out of the soil quickly. It is also recommended to fertilise during the rainy summer period, when outdoor plants begin to shrivel and their lower leaves start to yellow.

Ammonium nitrate can be used as a base fertiliser for all plants and all soil types, as well as an additional fast-acting fertiliser in spring-summer. It is recommended to spread this fertiliser evenly over the soil surface before ploughing or turning.

It is recommended to add phosphorus and potassium fertiliser before planting.

These fertilisers have good chemical and physical properties and do not persist for long periods.
