Fertilizer storage has "eight defenses"

One prevention: anti-moisture ammonium bicarbonate is easy to absorb moisture, causing loss of nitrogen volatilization; ammonium nitrate is very hygroscopic, easy to agglomerate and deliquescent; lime nitrogen and superphosphate are easy to agglomerate after moisture absorption, affecting the application effect. Therefore, these fertilizers should be stored in a dry, cool place, especially when storing ammonium bicarbonate, the package should be sealed firmly to avoid contact with air.

    Second defense: anti-volatile ammonia, ammonium bicarbonate is very volatile, should be sealed when stored. Nitrogen fertilizers and superphosphates are strictly prohibited from being mixed with alkaline substances (lime, grass ash, etc.) to prevent loss of nitrogen fertilizer and reduce the fertilizer efficiency of phosphate fertilizer.

    Three-proof: The higher the temperature is, the more the deliquescent volatilization and agglomeration of the fertilizer become more serious (the stability is worse), so the temperature of the storage house should be kept below 30 °C. It is best not to put it in the kitchen with heat source in the countryside.

    Four defenses: anti-fire ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate and other fuel -burning properties, can not be stacked with flammable materials such as kerosene, gasoline, straw, wood chips, etc., so as not to cause fire.

    Five defenses: anti-explosive ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate, etc. are easy to explode. If mixed with metal powders such as copper and iron, once the friction hits, it will cause an explosion accident. Therefore, after these chemical fertilizers are hardened, do not use metal objects to slam them. Use heavy objects to crush them.

    Six anti-corrosion: anti-corrosion of super-calcium phosphate is corrosive, should prevent contact with skin and metal appliances; ammonia water is highly corrosive to copper and iron, and should be stored in ceramics, plastics and wooden containers. In addition, fertilizers cannot be stacked with seeds, and do not use fertilizer bags to seed, so as not to affect seed germination.

    Seven prevention: anti-mixing chemical fertilizers are acidic and alkaline, should be divided into categories, according to the place of origin, type, nature, respectively, placed and kept, so as not to reduce fertilizer efficiency.

    Eight defenses: Prevent misuse of fertilizers and mix them with pesticides, human and animal medicines, and edible foods (such as sugar and salt) to avoid misuse. In particular, prevent children from eating.
