Ammonium Chloride (Agricultural Grade)
Agricultural-grade ammonium chloride is a white, pale yellow or pink crystalline granule, readily soluble in water, used as a quick-acting nitrogen fertilizer. It suits base and top dressing of chlorine-tolerant crops and is also a feedstock for compound fertilizer production. Not for food or feed use, and to be used with caution on chlorine-sensitive crops.
Please note: Fertilizer-grade ammonium chloride is listed in China's catalogue of commodities subject to mandatory export inspection, so each shipment needs commodity inspection. Use with caution on chlorine-sensitive crops (tobacco, potato, sweet potato, citrus). Not for food or feed use.
