Nutramon CAN on grassland

Since the temperature-dependent conversion of urea to plant-accessible nitrogen can be delayed in spring with the low soil temperatures, CAN is the preferred fertilizer because of its nitrate content.
Because of supposed price advantages, urea or urean are often used for mineral supplements, but the fact that urea and urean must first be converted to nitrate before the nitrogen is plant-accessible is often ignored. There is therefore a higher risk of ammonia losses, especially on grassland for example because of the lack of incorporation options.
This occurs particularly on soils with higher pH values, with dry conditions and high temperatures. Correspondingly unfavorable weather conditions often occur in N fertilization operations in the months of May and June.

Ensuring the N effect with CAN.

Slurry (ammonium nitrogen, slow-acting fertilizers) is generally applied in spring, so it is advisable for N mineral supplements to ensure rapid accessibility of nitrogen in the first application in order to meet this requirement at an early stage.

Since the temperature-dependant conversion of urea to plant-accessible nitrogen can be delayed in spring with the low soil temperatures, its nitrate content makes CAN the preferred fertilizer.

Because of the short growth periods between the individual regrowths, the application of rapid-action nitrogen fertilizers is recommended in the later cuts in order to be able to react specifically to the relevant crop development. The rapid availability of nitrate nitrogens then supports a rapid regrowth.

Minor constituents reduce your fertilizer costs and support animal health.

Unlike urean and urea, Nutramon CAN contains minor constituents such as magnesium and lime. Using Nutramon CAN alone during vegetation can, depending on the intensity of use on grassland, offset the total MgO extraction using Nutramon exclusively for fertilization (supply stage C).
In situations where there are deficiencies, this also contributes to avoiding grass tetany in spring.
