Can

Can be considered as near-neutral in its effect on soil pH and therefore can be used on soils that have a low pH without lowering further.

Can be considered as near-neutral in its effect on soil pH and therefore can be used on soils that have a low pH without lowering further.

For use on perennial fruit crops (where soil incorporation of lime is difficult)
is a nitrogen fertilizer which contains equal parts of fast acting nitrate-nitrogen and longer lasting ammonium-nitrogen
Volatilization of nitrogen from CAN is negligible, therefore the timing of the applications is flexible
Calcium Ammonium Nitrate can be considered as near-neutral in its effect on soil pH - and therefore can be used on soils that have a low pH without lowering further. This also means it is most suitable for using on perennial fruit crops (where soil incorporation of lime is normally difficult to achieve).
CAN is a nitrogen fertilizer which contains equal parts of fast acting nitrate-nitrogen and longer lasting ammonium-nitrogen. This ensures a more continuous nitrogen supply to the crop and thus better efficiency of use, and also makes it suitable for unseasonal application during summer or winter.
