High Density Ammonium Nitrate (HDAN) is a nitrogenous dry fertilizer product. It is differentiated from Low Density Ammonium Nitrate ( LDAN ), which is a grade used essentially in explosive applications and is sometimes referred to as Industrial Grade Ammonium Nitrate. Ammonium nitrate is recognized as the most effective, and efficient form of nitrogen fertilizer.   We know that Nitrogen is one of the key needs for successful plant growth. This macro-nutrient is responsible for the green, leafy production of a plant and enhances overall health. Nitrogen is attained from the atmosphere, but this form of nitrogen is difficult for plants to uptake due to its strong chemical bond. Nitrogen that occurs in treated fertilizers includes ammonium nitrate. Starting with a simple reaction of anhydrous ammonia and nitric acid, ammonium nitrate is produced. To get ammonium nitrate in solid form, the resulting liquid is concentrated and processed into prills, granules or crystals. The conce...

Fertilizers are natural or synthetic substances that supply one or more of the plant nutrients essential for plant growth. Fertilizers are applied to the soil or plant tissues to improve the plants productivity. In other words, these are the materials farmer add to the soil to improve its physical or chemical properties, such as fertility, water retention, drainage permeability, and soil structure. It makes the soil properties better and allows the roots to enter the soil and obtain the needed air and moisture.  Fertilizers are mainly divided into two types organic and inorganic. According to the experts, plants need sixteen elements that are absolutely necessary for plant growth. Out of these, 9 elements are required in large quantities while the other seven are required in smaller amounts. The organic fertilizers are derived from plants or animals and the Inorganic fertilizers are manmade or mined. India is the home of various premium government and private fertilizer and soi...
