kalsiumammoniumnitrat
Kalsiumammoniumnitrat, often abbreviated as CAN, is a chemical compound with the formula 5Ca(NO3)2·NH4NO3·10H2O. It is a mixture of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, typically produced by reacting limestone with nitric acid and then adding ammonium nitrate. CAN is a widely used nitrogen fertilizer, particularly in agriculture. Its key advantage is that it provides nitrogen in both readily available nitrate form and a slower-releasing ammonium form, which can reduce nitrogen loss from the soil.
The physical appearance of CAN is usually as white or off-white granules. It is soluble in water,
CAN also contributes calcium to the soil, an essential plant nutrient that plays a role in cell
