Applications

The dominant application of ammonium chloride is as a nitrogen source in fertilizers (corresponding to 90% of the world production of ammonium chloride) such as chloroammonium phosphate. The main crops fertilized this way are rice and wheat . When using ammonium chloride as a nitrogen fertilizer for plants, the appropriate concentration is applied to provide sufficient nutrients without causing harm.Ammonium chloride is approximately 26% nitrogen by weight and can be used to supply nitrogen to plants, especially those preferring slightly acidic conditions.The concentration for nitrogen fertilization in solution is between 50 and 100 milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water (mg N/L), which is equivalent to 50–100 parts per million (ppm) nitrogen, which translates to approximately 0.2 to 0.4 grams of ammonium chloride per liter of water. Ammonium chloride can acidify the soil over time, so soil pH is regularly monitored, especially when growing plants sensitive to acidic conditions. Some plants are sensitive to chloride ions (e.g., avocados, beans, grapes), so applying ammonium chloride to such plants should be done with extra caution to prevent chloride toxicity.
