Because it contains nitrogen only as nitrate, it is extremely fast-acting and used commonly for sugar beet, especially to revive late germinated crops or light-land crops which have been damaged by soil-capping following rainfall.

New production methods mean that from 1998, a larger 2-4mm size and 1050 g/litre specific gravity product is available. At Bunns, we have seasonal offers on Chilean Nitrate of Soda and can incorporate this raw material into NPK blends.

Do not use this product on Sodium-hating crops like potatoes.
