Overview of Cyanamide
Cyanamide (CaCN2 or H2NCN) is an agrochemical that can be used in a variety of ways. It's mostly used for control of plant growth, a dormancy breaker, as well as a nitrogen source in agriculture. It is available as a off-white or white powder, or 50 percent water solution. It works great for defoliation, buds pushing, and helping plants establish in the early stages of.
In short, cyanamide speeds up plant growth, helps fruit trees come out of winter dormancy, and quickly supplies nitrogen. It is important for modern orchards, grape growing, and farms that need careful control over plant growth.
Applications of Cyanamide
Dormancy Breaking & Bud Forcing
Cyanamide is sprayed on fruit trees and vines during late winter to break dormancy.
-
Enables 2-4 weeks earlier harvest for grapes, kiwifruit, and apples.
-
Promotes uniform bud break and flowering synchronization.
-
It is a key product for intensive farming in the agriculture industry.
Defoliation & Harvest Aid
-
Rapidly defoliates cotton, soybeans, and potatoes for mechanical harvest.
-
Improves harvest efficiency and reduces labor costs.
-
Complements growth regulators like 1-Naphthaleneacetic Acid.
Nitrogen Fertilization & Growth Stimulation
Cyanamide provides quick nitrogen uptake for early-season growth boost.
-
Supports vegetative development in cereals and vegetables.
-
Enhances root development alongside Zinc Sulphate Anhydrous.
-
Works with Zinc Sulphate Heptahydrate for micronutrient balance.
Integrated Pest & Soil Management
-
Supports clean harvest with pest control products like Diatomaceous Earth.
-
Complements fumigation programs using 1,2-Dibromoethane.
-
Enhances overall crop management systems.
Safety & Handling Guidelines
Always use caution when handling cyanamide because it is very reactive and toxic.
-
Store cyanamide in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from acids, metals, and moisture.
-
Wear full protective gear, including chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, a respirator, and protective clothing.
-
Do not mix cyanamide with acids or ammonium compounds.
-
Keep cyanamide away from children, food, and water sources.
-
Check the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for detailed safety steps, antidote details, and what to do in case of a spill.
Cyanamide MSDS
The MSDS for cyanamide gives important details about toxicity, hazards, safe handling, exposure limits, first aid, and disposal. It is a must-have for farm workers, safety staff, and meeting regulations.
ChemicalBull supplies Cyanamide MSDS, safety data sheets, and application guidelines with all shipments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
What is the use of cyanamide in agriculture?
Cyanamide helps fruit trees and vines come out of winter dormancy for earlier harvests, removes leaves from crops like cotton for machine harvesting, and quickly supplies nitrogen for fast growth. -
Is cyanamide a fertilizer?
Yes, cyanamide works as both a nitrogen fertilizer (30% N) and a plant growth regulator, giving two benefits in one use for intensive farming. -
Where is cyanamide found?
Cyanamide is made for agriculture and sold by specialized suppliers like ChemicalBull. It is found in small amounts in some plants, but most of what is used in farming is synthetic.
