Explanation:
AN is the most commonly used straight nitrogen fertilizer in the UK (68%) and France (38%) and accounts for 21% of total nitrogen fertilizer consumption in Europe. † CAN is a mixture of ammonium nitrate and a minimum of 20% calcium/magnesium carbonate
Answer:
Plants need nutrients to grow which they absorb from the soil via the plant’s root system. Fertilizers provide the major nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and important secondary elements) that plants need. Unless the nutrients are replenished, the soil’s productive capacity declines with every harvest.
Mineral Fertilizers
The European fertilizer industry transforms millions of tons of naturally occurring raw materials such as air, natural gas and mined ores into high quality plant nutrition products .

Organic fertilizers
Crop residues, animal manures and slurries are the principal organic fertilizers. Although they have varying nutritional values, they are generally present on the farm and the nutrients and the organic carbon they contain are recycled. Animal manures and slurries cover a wide range of nutrient sources with different physical properties and nutrient contents. Furthermore, their nutrient content vary regionally and depend on the type of livestock and the farm management system.
Other types of Plant Nutrition
A wide range of so called fertilizing products can help farmers to adapt their fertilization practices to their environmental and farm conditions: organic fertilizer, organo-mineral fertilizer, mineral fertilizer incl. inhibitors, liming material, growing media, plant biostimulants etc.
