In calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) fertiliser ____________________?

Correct answer: A. Nitrate nitrogen is quick acting

  • A. Nitrate nitrogen is quick acting
  • B. Ammoniacal nitrogen is quick acting
  • C. Nitrate nitrogen is slower acting
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Nitrate nitrogen is immediately available to plants, whereas ammoniacal nitrogen generally acts more slowly because it may first undergo conversion in the soil. Thus CAN combines a quick-acting nitrate fraction with a slower ammoniacal fraction.
