What is Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Calcium Ammonium Nitrate is a widely used inorganic nitrogen fertilizer produced by mixing ammonium nitrate (<sup><\/sup>NH4\u200bNO3\u200b) with pulverized limestone (calcium carbonate, <sup><\/sup>CaCO3\u200b) or dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate).<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Physical Form:<\/strong> Manufactured as homogeneous, high-density <strong>granules<\/strong> or <strong>prills<\/strong>. Granules are particularly valued because their uniform size allows farmers to spread them evenly over wide fields without drifting in the wind. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chemical Profile:<\/strong> The standard agricultural formulation contains <strong>27% Nitrogen (N)<\/strong>\u2014split evenly as 13.5% Nitrate (NO3\u2212\u200b) for rapid uptake and 13.5% Ammonium (NH4+\u200b) for sustained release\u2014along with roughly <strong>10% Calcium (Ca)<\/strong>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Key Agronomic Benefits:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unlike pure urea or ammonium sulphate, CAN has a <strong>neutralizing impact on soil acidity<\/strong> due to the added lime\/calcium.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It presents a reduced risk of volatilization (ammonia loss into the air) compared to urea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It provides safer handling and storage properties compared to pure, high-grade ammonium nitrate, which carries higher explosion risks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Yara\u2019s Product Line &amp; Granular Manufacturing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yara markets its granular CAN products globally under the <strong>YaraBela<\/strong> range:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>YaraBela CAN-27 \/ YaraBela CAN:<\/strong> Standard granular calcium ammonium nitrate.
