CAN vs Urea: Which Nitrogen Fertilizer is Cheaper?
| CAN (Gawara) | Urea | |
|---|---|---|
| Nitrogen content | about 26% | 46% |
| PBS price per 50kg bag | Rs. 4,328 | Rs. 4,781 (Sona) |
| Nitrogen in one bag | about 13kg | 23kg |
| Cost per kg of nitrogen | about Rs. 333 | about Rs. 208 |
Urea is cheaper per kg of nitrogen, but CAN has advantages: half of its nitrogen is in nitrate form, which the crop takes up quickly, it loses less nitrogen to the air on hot days, and its calcium is useful on sandy and acidic soils. Many farmers use CAN for top dressing of wheat, vegetables and fruit orchards, or when urea is short in the market.
CAN Fertilizer Uses
- Wheat top dressing: with the first and second irrigation.
- Vegetables and potato: quick nitrogen with calcium for better quality.
- Orchards (citrus, mango, guava): calcium helps fruit firmness.
- Urea shortage: a practical substitute when urea is not available, but you need more bags for the same nitrogen.
