In a world of simple nitrogen solutions, Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN 27-0-0 + 12% CaO) stands apart as a sophisticated, multi-benefit fertilizer. It delivers more than just nitrogen—it provides balance for your crops and your soil. Discover why forward-thinking growers are making CAN their nitrogen source of choice.

Core Advantages of CAN Fertilizer

1. Dual-Action Nitrogen: Immediate Feeding with Lasting Power
CAN contains nitrogen in two forms: half as fast-acting nitrate and half as stabilized ammonium. This smart combination gives crops an immediate boost while providing a steady nitrogen supply over time. The result? Consistent, vigorous growth without the sudden flushes or late-season deficiencies common with single-form nitrogen sources.

2. Built-In Calcium: Nutrition and Quality in Every Granule
Unlike common ammonium or urea fertilizers, CAN delivers a significant 12% calcium oxide (CaO). This calcium is crucial for:

• Stronger Cell Walls: Improving crop standability and resistance to lodging.
• Enhanced Fruit Quality: Reducing disorders like blossom-end rot in tomatoes and bitter pit in apples, leading to more marketable yield.
• Improved Soil Structure: Supporting overall soil health.

3. The pH-Neutral Nitrogen Solution
CAN is non-acidifying. While ammonium-based fertilizers can slowly increase soil acidity, requiring costly lime applications, CAN has a neutral effect on soil pH. This makes it the sustainable choice for long-term soil fertility management, especially in already acidic soils or for continuous cropping systems.

4. Superior Environmental and Handling Safety

• Reduced Volatility: Compared to urea, CAN has very low ammonia volatilization losses, meaning more of the nitrogen you pay for reaches the crop root zone, especially in no-till or high-residue conditions.
• Enhanced Safety: CAN is non-explosive and non-flammable. Its excellent physical properties (hard granules, low hygroscopicity) make it safe and easy to store, handle, and apply with all standard equipment, minimizing waste and risk.

5. Unmatched Versatility Across Seasons and Crops
CAN performs reliably when others struggle. Its nitrate component is readily available in cold, wet spring soils where biological conversion of other nitrogen forms is slow. This makes it an ideal starter fertilizer. Its versatility extends across the board:

• Cereals & Grasses: Perfect for top-dressing winter wheat or pasture.
• Horticultural Crops: The calcium benefit is invaluable for fruits and vegetables.
• General Field Crops: Provides reliable, balanced nutrition for corn, canola, and more.

Technical Excellence You Can Trust
Our CAN is produced to the highest standards, featuring:

• Consistent 3-5mm granules for even spreading.
• High hardness to minimize dust and degradation.
• Guaranteed analysis of 27% N and 12% CaO.

The Smart Grower’s Choice
Choosing CAN is an investment in balance—balancing immediate and delayed nitrogen release, balancing crop nutrition with soil health, and balancing high yields with superior quality. It moves beyond simple feeding to intelligent crop and soil management.

For growers who view their field as a long-term asset, CAN is not just a fertilizer; it’s a strategy for resilient, profitable, and sustainable production.
