  • Includes ammonium nitrate, classified as safe and non-flammable.

CAN Label

CAN can be applied in base dressings and side dressings, but the actual rates will depend on the farm type, the region and the season. It is most beneficial however when split applied (where possible) on a 4 - 6 weekly basis to ensure a continuous nitrogen supply.

Actual spreading rates will vary according to farm type, climate, productivity, soil type and crop type. Soil testing and fertiliser plans are available to ensure you use the right product at the correct rate.

Volatilisation of nitrogen from CAN is negligible, therefore the timing of the applications is flexible.

As with most solid fertilisers, can be stored over a season as long as it is kept in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Store bags in a dry place ensuring they are tightly sealed.

Although CAN generally mixes well with other products, it is not compatible with the following: Superphosphate and Magnesium Oxide.

CAN can be compatible with the following under certain circumstances: Sulphur Super 30.

Segregation may occur when mixed with products with differences in particle size.

Incompatible with: Combustible materials, chloride salts, metal oxides, oxidisable substances, metallic powders, acids, alkalis, organic substances.
