Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN) solution, produced by combining urea, nitric acid, and ammonia, is a liquid fertilizer product with a nitrogen content that typically ranges from 28 percent to 32 percent. UAN can be applied more uniformly than non-liquid forms of fertilizer.
What is UAN fertilizer made of?
The UREA/AMMONIUM NITRATE (UAN) solution is created by dissolution of the amide and nitrate salt in water. It may have a slight ammonia odor. Approximately 35% UREA blended with 45% AMMONIUM NITRATE makes a fertilizer solution that is 32% nitrogen by weight.
How do you use UAN fertilizer?
UAN solutions are commonly injected into the soil beneath the surface, sprayed onto the soil surface, dribbled as a band onto the surface, added to irrigation water, or sprayed onto plant leaves as a source of foliar nutrition.
Is UAN a liquid?
UAN is a liquid fertilizer containing three forms of nitrogen: urea, ammonium-N and nitrate-N.
Is UAN explosive?
In solution UAN is normally considered low hazard. However, when the water in UAN evaporates, residue may include concentrated ammonium nitrate and urea. When sensitised or during decomposition, concentrated ammonium nitrate may become unstable and/or explosive.
Why is UAN used?
UAN is essential to check the credits and debits in the PF account. Through UAN, individuals can withdraw and transfer funds without relying on the employer. The online processing of PF accounts helps employees to access the account freely. With UAN, employees can track monthly deposits.
Is UAN hazardous?
Additional Hazards When Processed: When the water in UAN evaporates, residue may include solid ammonium nitrate and urea. When sensitized or during decomposition, solid ammonium nitrate may become unstable and/or explosive. UAN pumps operated with blocked discharge have been known to detonate.
How can I dilute 32 UAN to 28 UAN?
Every ton of 32% is about 180 gallons. You would add about 39.5 gallons of water to that to make 28%.
