CAN 26-0-0
26-0-0 fertilizer is a widely used nitrogen and sulfur fertilizer in modern agriculture, commonly known as ASN fertilizer (Ammonium Sulfate Nitrate 26-0-0+13S). It provides a balanced combination of fast-acting nitrate nitrogen and sustained ammonium nitrogen, making it a strong solution for improving crop yield, nitrogen efficiency, and soil nutrition management.
At the beginning of modern fertilizer development, manufacturers such as Risso have focused on improving nitrogen efficiency and crop nutrient balance, especially in high-demand cereal and oilseed farming systems.
Today, 26-0-0 fertilizer is widely used in wheat, corn, rapeseed, and vegetable production, particularly in regions facing sulfur deficiency and nitrogen loss challenges.
ASN fertilizer is manufactured through high-tower melt granulation, combining premium ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate. This technology produces spherical granules with smooth surfaces and excellent water solubility (>99%), enabling rapid nitrogen release within 24 hours and sustained supply for 30-50 days. Containing over 12.5% sulfur—a critical element for enzyme activation and protein synthesis—it achieves 70% nitrogen use efficiency (compared to 35-40% for urea) and is biuret-free, eliminating seedling burn risks. The balanced 1:1 ratio of ammonium (NH₄⁺) and nitrate (NO₃⁻) nitrogen enhances crop stress resistance and adapts to diverse soil types.
Core Advantages & Applications
Urea Replacement: ASN fully replaces urea, increasing yield by 8-12% in rice-wheat rotations while doubling nitrogen efficiency.
Compound Fertilizer Enhancement: As a core ingredient, ASN boosts nitrate nitrogen content by 15-20%, optimizing NPK synergy, especially for fruits and vegetables.
Direct Application Flexibility: Suitable for basal dressing, topdressing, and drip irrigation, it significantly benefits sulfur-deficient soils (e.g., sandy or low-organic soils), improving crop quality.
Global Trade Efficiency: Certified with ISO 14001 and exempt from CIQ inspection, it ensures fast logistics (7-15 days delivery), reducing supply chain costs.
Scientific Validation & Sustainability
Field trials verify that ASN reduces ammonia volatilization by 30% and nitrogen leaching by 25% in maize cultivation, while maintaining stable soil pH to counter urea-induced acidification. Its high sulfur content suppresses soil-borne diseases, cutting pesticide use by 10-15%. ASN is widely adopted in Southeast Asia and South America.
