The adequate and integrated nutrition of plants, is the key for the robustness and high productivity of crops in modern agriculture.

Out of the total of nutrients, that’s are necessary for plants, Nitrogen, Calcium and Sulphur belong the most fundamental and are vital to developing crops and maximizing their yields.

Nitrogen (N), more than any other nutrient, is involved in the vital functions of growth and production. As a component of chlorophyll, it is involved in the process of photosynthesis and the production of carbohydrates. As a structural element of amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids, it plays a key role in all metabolic processes, in reproduction and, finally, in the growth and yield of crops.

Calcium (Ca) with its presence in all developing parts of plants, promotes the robust growth of roots and shoots. At the same time, its participation as a structural element of cell walls and membranes, ensures the support of the plant and its ability to exchange elements with the environment. The adequacy of Calcium at all critical stages of growth, plays a key role in the development of the crop, ensures good flowering and fruit setting and increases the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the final production.

Sulphur (S), is one of the most important nutrients in the growth and yield of crops. Its role is two-fold. It participates directly, as an element in the nutrition of plants, but also contributes to the intake and utilization of other nutrients. Increases the absorption and utilization of Nitrogen by plants, solubilizes and makes available Phosphorus and Trace Elements, promotes root growth, enhances the production of proteins and carbohydrates and improves the quality of products.

SulfoCan® are top Nitrogen fertilizers, that incorporate all the latest research data on plant nutrition. They combine, in excellent way, the two assimilable forms of Nitrogen, with Calcium and Sulfur, create synergies between them and maximize their absorption and utilization by plants, increasing the yields of crops.

Their special production method optimizes the availability of nutrients in the root environment, while their unique ability to supply plants with assimilable forms of nutrients, at all stages of growth, improves nutrition, promotes root and shoot growth, enhances photosynthesis and metabolism of plants and increases their productivity.

Nitrogen

Nitrogen, Water, Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen are fundamental nutrients for life in general and every living being in nature. In the case of plants, Nitrogen is more involved than any other nutrient in the formation of the plant body and the vital functions of development and production. As a component of chlorophyll, it is involved in the process of photosynthesis and the production of carbohydrates, which form the base of the food chain and the only reason why humans developed agriculture. As a structural element of amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids, Nitrogen has a pivotal role in energy conversions, plant reproduction throughout time, and in the growth and yield of crops. Lack of Nitrogen leads to a less fertile soil, stunted growth, premature decay of the plants, reduced production, and poorer quality. Its overabundance favors the production of plants which are vulnerable to diseases and environmental conditions, delays flowering, reduces fruit setting, delays ripening, and harms production. Sufficient supply and the rational management of Nitrogen are the most important factors for the health and productivity of crops in contemporary agriculture.

Sources of Nitrogen for plants

Nitrogen is the most abundant atmospheric gas and it occupies 78% of the total volume of the atmosphere. It ranges from 0,05 to 0,4% on the surface layer of the ground and it is found nearly in its entirety in organic form. Despite the fact that crops develop in an environment with an abundance of Nitrogen, plants – with the exception of legumes – cannot absorb and utilize atmospheric Nitrogen. They cannot utilize the organic Nitrogen in the soil unless it has already been broken down and converted to absorbable forms. This is why lack of Nitrogen is the most common nutritional deficiency in crops and the main factor preventing high yields. The rational management of Nitrogen and sufficient supply of it to the crops has been a basic pursuit of agricultural practice throughout time, has been a catalyst in the development of cropping systems, and is directly linked to the development of agriculture from ancient times to this day.

Absorbance of Νitrogen

Plants absorb the Nitrogen in the soil in Nitric (ΝΟ3-Ν) form and in Ammoniacal (ΝΗ4-Ν) form. Ammoniacal Nitrogen forms strong bonds with the soil and is absorbed by the roots of plants as they grow and come in contact with soil particles. Nitric Nitrogen moves freely in the soil, approaches the roots, and is absorbed by plants through the water in the soil. It is crucial that both forms of Nitrogen are present in the soil for crops to have a healthy development, for increased yield, and for a better production quality.

SulfoCan Nitro 24-0-0 (14) +11CaO

SulfoCan Nitro® is a high-quality Nitrogen fertilizer that combines in a balanced ratio (50:50) the rapid effect of Nitric (NO3) and the extended availability of Ammoniacal Nitrogen (NH4), with the multiple agricultural benefits of Calcium.

The simultaneous presence of Nitric and Ammoniacal Nitrogen in the soil, ensures the smooth nutrition of the crop with Nitrogen, both in the early stages of vegetation and flowering and in the later stages of fruit set and fruit development.

Excellent source of absorbable Calcium (Ca) for plants, contributes to the development of a strong root system and robust vegetation, promotes rich flowering and good pollination and ensures high and quality yields.

The Sulfur (S) it contains, is readily available in culture and enhances the absorption of Ammoniacal Nitrogen, promotes the growth of the root system, increases the intake of Phosphorus and Trace Elements and participates in the formation of proteins and aromatic compounds, improving the quantitative and quality characteristics of production.

Combining, with an ideal ratio, Nitrogen, Calcium and Sulfur, SulfoCan Nitro® is the best choice for top dressing fertilization of winter cereals, but also of all crops in all types of soils.
