Ammonium chloride

Ammonium chloride is a compound that combines two essential ingredients for plant growth: nitrogen and chlorine. In comparison to other ammonium-based products, it is a medium-strength nitrogen fertiliser. The nitrogen content is 25%, compared to 33% for ammonium nitrate and 21% for ammonium phosphate.

Molecular Formulae– NH4Cl

Alternative Names– Sal ammoniac

BENEFITS AND USES–

• Crop yields improved by up to 40% when ammonium chloride was applied to crops that did not have chloride.
• It aids in the prevention of pathogens and infections in a variety of crops.
• For Cl-responsive crops such as coconut, oil palm, and kiwifruit, ammonium chloride is an effective source of both N and Cl.
• For salty and alkaline soils, ammonium chloride fertiliser is recommended.
• It is also an excellent nitrogenous fertiliser for use in low-lying locations where farmers grow rice and other crops.
• Because ammonium chloride is less hygroscopic than other fertilisers, it has a relatively prolonged storage life.

HOW IT WORKS-

• It works as an important nitrogen source in fertilizers.
• Nitrogen is important for crops as it is a major component that makes up chlorophyll.  

TIME OF APPLICATION-

• Use our ammonium chloride at the start of the growing season for the best results.

RECOMMENDED USAGE- 

• It is recommended that 2.5 to 5 kg of our ammonium chloride should be used per cubic yard.
