Optimizing yield, preserving the environment

Nitrate-based fertilizers - such as ammonium nitrate, calcium ammonium nitrate and nitrate-based NPK compounds - are pure nutrients offering the required precision, efficiency and reliability to meet the agronomic and environmental imperatives of sustainable agriculture.

Yara nitrate-based fertilizers ensure precise spreading, fast plant uptake and low losses.

Urea or AN?

Precision farming tools can be used with all types of nitrogen fertilizers. They enable fertilizer savings, ensure uniform crop growth and increase yield as well as crop quality. Precision farming makes most sense, however, with fertilizers that offer the highest spreading precision, fastest uptake and lowest losses – such as ammonium nitrate.

Urea-based fertilizers are subject to unpredictable volatilization losses and spread less evenly. In addition, plant uptake is slower. This is the reason why Yara recommends nitrate-based fertilizers in conjunction with its precision farming tools.
