What are the contraindications for calcium ammonium nitrate? Keep these precautions in mind
When using ammonium nitrate, do not smoke or use open flames, and also avoid contact with reducing agents, organic matter, flammable materials or metals. Operators should avoid direct contact when using calcium ammonium nitrate, and need to wear protective clothing and protective gloves.
Introduction to calcium ammonium nitrate:
1. Function
Calcium ammonium nitrate contains a large amount of calcium carbonate, and when used as a topdressing on acidic soil it has a good effect and benefit. When applied in paddy fields, its fertilizer efficiency is slightly lower than that of ammonium sulfate with an equal amount of nitrogen, while when applied on dry land, its fertilizer efficiency is similar to that of ammonium sulfate. The cost of nitrogen in calcium ammonium nitrate is higher than the cost of nitrogen in ordinary ammonium nitrate. As a low-concentration fertilizer, calcium ammonium nitrate is a physiologically neutral fertilizer, and long-term application has a good effect on soil properties. It can be used as a topdressing on cereal grain crops.
2. Characteristics
The appearance color of calcium ammonium nitrate is generally grayish white or grayish brown granules, and some are green. Ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen each account for half, and the nitrogen content is much lower than that of the original ammonium nitrate. However, it has low hygroscopicity, is not easy to cake, has good dispersibility, and has good physical properties.
A large amount of direct contact with calcium ammonium nitrate can cause acute and chronic poisoning, and it carries a certain degree of danger. When using it, everyone must wear protective equipment properly to avoid accidents.
