An introduction – nitrate fertilizer

Nitrate-based fertilizers - such as ammonium nitrate, calcium ammonium nitrate and nitrate-based NPK compounds - are pure nutrients, offering the required precision, efficiency and reliability to meet the agronomic and environmental imperatives of modern agriculture.

Nitrate-based fertilizers are the natural choice for farmers who care for both, yield and the environment.

World
Feeding the world, protecting nature
An expanding world population and the dawning environmental crisis are putting agriculture under a whole new light.
Mineral sources of nitrogen
Mineral sources of nitrogen
European farmers traditionally rely on ammonium nitrate as the most efficient source of nitrogen.
Nitrogen transformations in the soil
Nitrogen transformations in the soil
Nitrogen undergoes transformations in the soil, depending on the chemical composition of the nitrogen applied.
Ensuring optimum yield
Ensuring optimum yield
The golden rule in fertilizer use remains simple: apply the right amount of nitrogen at the right time.
Preserving the environment
Preserving the environment
Fertilizers are produced by extracting nitrogen from the atmosphere.
