Got a wild hog problem? Use Tannerite

dennishoddy says-I can buy all the Ammonium Nitrate I want....to fertilize my fields. Its actually the best fertilizer out there, but you have to sign away your life to get it unlike past days when you just bought a hundred tons or so to put out.
Easier to buy Urea now, but its not as plant friendly.

i say-thank you timothy mcveigh, AKA a$$wagon

How is the 28% liquid less friendly than the granules? Does it burn the foliage?

Plants accept the ammonium nitrate more readily. Better fertilizer.

Plants accept the ammonium nitrate more readily. Better fertilizer.

AN is 33-34% nitrogen with 1/2 of the nitrogen coming from ammonium and the rest from nitrate. The product is much more stable.

UAN is about 28-32% nitrogen with 1/2 of the N coming from Urea and 1/2 from ammonium nitrate. If the solution is not applied shortly after production there will be nitrogen loss through degradation, actually I think it's called volitilization. Bleach does the same thing.


In short, you're being sold some ****** UAN. Go to the source where they are actually hydrating the product. In the Tulsa area that would be Helena Chemical near Porter.

ETA: Here's a pretty good read regarding volatilization and there is more to it than I stated above.

I was trying to keep it simple. Amonium Nitrate is more readily accepted by the plant. UAN which is a combination of the two.
Urea which looses its N if not tilled into the soil at application or gets at least 1/4" of rain shortly after application is not readily accepted into the plant. Its N content is 46%,
UAN has an N content of 28-32%. Its used because it doesn't loose its N as quickly and is used for side dressing.

In its pure form of Ammonium Nitrate, its a superior fertilizer because of superior plant uptake.

So, whats the purpose of this fertilizer 101 discussion?

Tannerite is legal when used as sold ONLY. When you add things like nails and bolts, it definitely becomes ILLEGAL!
