What is the difference between ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate nitrate?

What's the difference between ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate nitrate? What is the difference between the application method of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate nitrate? The following farming help planting network is briefly introduced for netizens' reference. First, the characteristics of ammonium nitrate the chemical formula of ammonium nitrate: NH4NO3, nitrogen (N) 33% 34%, including ammonium and nitric acid two forms of nitrogen each account for half, because ammonium nitrogen or nitrate nitrogen can be directly absorbed by crop roots, it has the advantage of double nitrogen sources in meeting crop nutritional needs, so it is widely preferred by crops, especially fruits, melons, vegetables, tobacco and many other economic crops in dryland crops. The fate of ammonium nitrate into the soil is more complex, and the two forms of nitrogen are very different. Ammonium nitrogen is positively charged and can be absorbed by negatively charged soil colloidal particles and preserved in the soil. However, the other half of nitrate nitrogen carries negative charge and cannot be absorbed by soil colloidal particles (also with negative charge). It is free in the soil along with the movement of water, and it may be leached below the root layer and wasted, so special care should be taken when applying it. Generally, topdressing is only applied during the vigorous growth period of crops, and a small amount of fertilizer is applied many times. The second characteristic of ammonium nitrate is strong water solubility and fast fertilizer effect. It is not only soluble in water, but also soluble in non-aqueous solvents, such as high solubility in liquid ammonia and fast dissolution. This high solubility makes it the main component of liquid nitrogen fertilizer such as nitrogen solution. The commodity characteristic of ammonium nitrate is very outstanding. It is a kind of nitrogen fertilizer with strong hygroscopicity, caking, flammability and explosive. Due to strong hygroscopicity, caking and deterioration after moisture absorption, improper management in storage is easy to cause fire or explosion. Therefore, ammonium nitrate products are also a kind of explosive raw materials, these characteristics not only bring great difficulties to agricultural use, but also may cause fire or explosion in storage and transportation. Therefore, for many years, developers have made great efforts to improve its performance, and several new products of modified ammonium nitrate have appeared in the market, of which ammonium sulfate is a typical one. 2. The composition and characteristics of ammonium sulfate and the chemical formula for the application of ammonium sulfate is (NH4) 2SO4+NH4NO3, which is made by melting ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate according to a certain proportion. Generally light yellow or grayish yellow particles, soluble in water, no precipitation. The main properties of ammonium nitrate sulfate are low hygroscopicity, stable chemical properties, not easy to caking, and safe storage and transportation. Suitable for agricultural applications, it contains nitrate nitrogen of 1 beat 4 and ammonium nitrogen of 3 hand 4. Ammonium sulfate does not form obvious acidity in soil and is close to physiological neutral fertilizer, while ammonium sulfate alone can form strong acid in soil, which is physiological acid fertilizer. It is suitable for a variety of soils and can be mixed in bulk or applied directly. The commercial property of fertilizer is better than that of ammonium nitrate, such as granular, easy to flow, no dust, easy to store and use, low hygroscopicity, not easy to caking, not easy to explode and flammable. The composition of ammonium sulfate nitrate is different among the products produced by different enterprises. For example, the ones made in the United States and Germany are different. 3. Application methods of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate in terms of application, ammonium sulfate contains nitrogen and sulfur, which is especially suitable for various crops like nitrogen and sulfur, including cruciferae, onion and garlic, etc. generally, topdressing can be applied to soil or irrigation. Soil fertilization should be applied as topdressing fertilizer, but not as base fertilizer. The nitrogen uptake rate and nitrogen use efficiency of ammonium sulfate nitrate were higher than those of simple application of nitrogen fertilizer because of sulfur. The application method is similar to that of ammonium sulfate, and the fertilizer effect is faster than that of ammonium sulfate. The application amount can be about 5 to 10 kilograms per mu, and should not be mixed with alkaline fertilizer to avoid the loss of nitrogen volatilization and reduce the fertilizer efficiency. When applying ammonium nitrate sulfate in acidic soil, a small amount of lime should be applied together, and the two must be applied separately, 3-5 days apart. Ammonium sulfate nitrate has good water solubility and is suitable for irrigation, fertilization and spraying in addition to soil application.
