How to Store Your Fertiliser

Your fertiliser should be stored in clean, dry and ventilated warehouses, in stacks comprising no more than 12 layers (bags up to 50 kg); or in the case of big bags up to 600 kg – 2 layers. It should not be stored under open-sided shelters and in open space. 

Ammonium Nitrate should be protected against: 

• Water and precipitation

• Mechanical damage to packaging

• Heating over 30°C.

 

Keep your Fertiliser Secure and out of Sight

Fertilisers containing Urea, Ammonium Nitrate, and CAN have all been used by terrorists.

Please keep these fertilisers securely on your farm.

​

Growers are encouraged to adopt the advice on 5 Point Plan aimed at securing fertiliser on farm.
