Ammonium Nitrate and fertilizers. Ammonium Nitrate is generally used as a fertilizer. It is actually sold in the form of pellets that are coated with clay. The reason why it is very popular in agriculture is because of the high nitrogen amount in this compound.
Calcium nitrate is used as a nitrogenous fertilizer, as a corrosive inhibitor in diesel fuels and as a component in explosives.alcium nitrate is the primary source of water soluble calcium in hydroponics. Prolonged use in other growing media ca â¦ n result in a gradual increase in pH because the negatively charged nitrate ions are taken up faster than the positively charged calcium ions.
