THE SCIENCE BEHIND AMMONIUM NITRATE FERTILIZER AND PLANT NUTRITION

Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is a key nitrogen fertilizer composed of ammonium and nitrate ions, essential for plant growth. It contains 34% nitrogen, promoting the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids, which are fundamental for plant development. This fertilizer rapidly dissolves in water, enhancing nutrient availability during critical growth stages. The uptake mechanisms involve […]
