Direct application
with anhydrous ammonia
is as
ONE!
Anhydrous ammonia (chemical formula
NH3) is the most concentrated form of
nitrogen fertilizer and has many advantages
because of its economy and versatility.
Production of all other nitrogen fertilizers begins with anhydrous
ammonia. NH3 is 82% nitrogen. Anhydrous ammonia is a colorless
gas at normal temperatures and"pressures, but is kept under
enough pressure to hold it in a liquid form while stored or
being handled.

fl I 111 £ is readily available to growing
crops the following year. Some
plants actually prefer the
ammonium form of nitrogen. When soil temperatures rise to 60-70° F
or higher, bacteria converts ammonium to fast acting nitrate
nitrogen readily available to plants. This conversion of ammonium
to nitrate results in increased availability of many essential
nutrients. NH3 applied in the fall supplies the large amounts of N
needed during early growth periods. You’re on your way to greater
yields and profits with direct application anhydrous ammonia.

I - A ammonia or apply it in conjunction with
other tillage operations. This can be
done by attaching ammonia tanks to the
tractor. It may also be applied with a regular applicator. Anhydrous
ammonia gives excellent results in fall application and early spring
preplant application because of its non-leaching characteristics.
NH3 is also applied effectively in side-dress application to growing
crops. Ammoma can be readily applied even in cold weather.
Anhydrous ammonia applied in the fall when soil temperatures are
below 50° F remains in the non-leaching ammonium form all winter.
It immediately starts decomposing residues and releasing other *
plant food.
