1
Nitrogen fertiliser solution
Product obtained chemically and by dissolution in water, in a form stable at atmospheric pressure, without addition of organic nutrients of animal or vegetable origin
15 % N
Nitrogen expressed as total nitrogen or, if there is only one form, nitric nitrogen or ammoniacal nitrogen or ureic nitrogen
Maximum biuret content:
ureic N × 0,026
Total nitrogen and, for any form that amounts to not less than 1 %, nitric nitrogen, ammoniacal nitrogen and/or ureic nitrogen
If the biuret content is less than 0,2 %, the words ‘low in biuret’ may be added
2
Urea Ammonium nitrate fertiliser solution
Product obtained chemically and by dissolution in water, containing ammonium nitrate and urea
26 % N
Nitrogen expressed as total nitrogen, where the ureic nitrogen accounts for about half of the nitrogen present
Maximum biuret content: 0,5 %
Total nitrogen
Nitric nitrogen, ammoniacal nitrogen and ureic nitrogen
If the biuret content is less than 0,2 %, the words ‘low in biuret’ may be added
3
Calcium nitrate solution
Product obtained by dissolving calcium nitrate in water
8 % N
Nitrogen expressed as nitrogen in nitric form with a maximum 1 % nitrogen as ammonia
Calcium expressed as water soluble CaO
The type designation may be followed, as appropriate, by one of the following indications:
for foliar application;
for making nutrient solutions;
for ferti-irrigation.
Total nitrogen

Magnesium expressed as water-soluble magnesium oxide
Minimum pH: 4
5
Calcium nitrate suspension
Product obtained by suspension of calcium nitrate in water
8 % N
Nitrogen expressed as total nitrogen or nitric and ammoniacal nitrogen maximum content of ammoniacal nitrogen: 1,0 %
The type designation may be followed by one of the following indications:
for foliar application;
for making nutrient solutions and suspensions;
for fertigation.
Total nitrogen
Nitric nitrogen
Water soluble calcium oxide for the uses stipulated in column 5
14 % CaO Calcium expressed as water soluble CaO
6

Product obtained chemically or by dissolution in water of urea formaldehyde and a nitrogenous fertiliser from list A-1 in this regulation, excluding products 3(a), 3(b), and 5
18 % N expressed as total nitrogen
At least one third of the declared total nitrogen content must derive from urea formaldehyde
Maximum biuret content: (ureic N + urea formaldehyde N) × 0,026
Total nitrogen
For each form amounting to at least 1 %:
Nitric nitrogen;
Ammoniacal nitrogen;
Ureic nitrogen.

7
Nitrogen fertiliser suspension with urea formaldehyde
Product obtained chemically or by suspension in water of urea formaldehyde and a nitrogenous fertiliser from list A-1 in this regulation, excluding products 3(a), 3(b), and 5
18 % N expressed as total nitrogen
At least one third of the declared total nitrogen content must derive from urea formaldehyde of which at least three fifths has to be soluble in hot water
Maximum biuret content: (ureic N + urea formaldehyde N) × 0,026
Total nitrogen
For each form amounting to at least 1 %
Nitric nitrogen;
Ammoniacal nitrogen;
Ureic nitrogen.
