L A N as nutrient

Post by Moggy »

Please see if this makes sense
In South Africa we get a fertilizer called LAN. It is Lime ammonium Nitrate
Below is a description of it
LAN (28) is available in a granular form. The product contains 28% nitrogen of which 50% as ammonium-N and 50% as nitrate-N. In addition LAN (28) contains 20% Dolomitic lime resulting in about 4.1% Ca and 2.1% Mg in the product. Both ammonium and nitrate are readily available for plant uptake.
My idea is to use it as a nutrient, because of the nitrogen level and the lime will act as a buffer to keep the pH higher.

Thoughts please.
