Koch Advanced Nitrogen™ product, KαN® offers farmers a new choice in nitrogen fertilisation in terms of innovation, productivity and sustainability. KαN® fertiliser is available as a straight nitrogen product in a high quality, granular grade.  It can also be used as a component in NPK fertiliser blends.

KαN® fertiliser is produced and distributed in the United Kingdom exclusively by Koch Fertiliser Ltd and J & H Bunn Ltd.

A unique technology for nitrogen fertiliser.

It is no secret that nitrogen fertilisers are prone to loss, such as ammonia loss from volatilisation and nitrous oxide loss from denitrification.

Because crop yield is sensitive to nitrogen supply, substantial nitrogen loss may negatively impact your productivity as well as cost you time and money. KαN® fertiliser minimises volatilisation by incorporating AGROTAIN® technology.

The Defra research project NT261 thoroughly demonstrated the effectiveness of the KαN® fertiliser concept. In fact, data analysis from the project shows that KαN® fertiliser is in the same performance category as ammonium nitrate for minimising volatilisation loss across a range of weather conditions, soil types and cropping systems.

The AGROTAIN® technology within KαN® fertiliser is unique and trusted. It is the only urease inhibitor recognised by the fertiliser standards body AAFPCO2, demonstrated within NT26, researched at other UK institutes, and registered under the fertiliser legislation EC 2003/2003.

Your nitrogen investment at work under your terms.

KαN® fertiliser does what nitrogen should do so you can focus on optimising the productivity of your crop and farming operation.

An ADAS-led, multi-site research project illustrates the agronomic productivity of KαN® fertiliser. The results indicate that KαN® fertiliser is competitive in yield and quality among the nitrogen-only products such as ammonium nitrate.

KαN® fertiliser is stabilised against volatilisation, allowing applications whenever they best suit the crop or your schedule. KαN® fertiliser is 46 percent nitrogen, meaning fewer bags, fewer fills and faster transport.  Also, many burdensome transport and storage regulations specific to ammonium nitrate do not impact KαN® fertiliser, enabling you to focus on tasks more productive than managing paper trails.

Optimum Sustainability

Smart for the environment, smart for business. Farmers understand the concept of operating sustainably – using resources today in ways that preserve the environment for the next generation of farmers.

KαN® fertiliser ensures that the nitrogen you have applied and paid for remains available to the crop and not lost into the air. It is a proactive approach to increase the sustainability of nitrogen fertiliser without jeopardising yield potential. That is smart for the environment and smart for your business.

Supporting U.K. agriculture with global resources. Koch Fertiliser looks to the future of global nitrogen supply to address current farming challenges. Urea is 60 percent of the global nitrogen market and growing. Therefore, access to this dependable supply of nitrogen is important to the competitiveness of U.K. agriculture. With advanced urea products such as KαN® fertiliser, Koch Fertiliser is serving its customers with innovation, productivity and sustainable solutions for their businesses.
