chemhero Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 No, its not the same thing! A quick google revealed that ammoniacl nitrogen is NH3-N, as opposed to ammonium nitrate (common fertiliser) which is NH4-NO3 Happy gardening, Matt
YT2095 Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 it`s usualy termed as a percentage, for instance Ammonium sulphate or phosphate will have X% of Ammoniacal nitrogen, it`s simply a way of stating what Form the Nitrogen is contained as.
John Cuthber Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 If exactly half the total nitrogen is ammoniacal nitrogen then it's probably ammonium nitrate, for pure ammonium nitrate it would be 35% total nitrogen. Chemhero, Do you actually think "NH3-N" is a compuond?
