Will fertilizers volatilize in winter?

Many people think that chemical fertilizers will not evaporate when the temperature in winter is low. Is this really the case?

Ammonium bicarbonate, ammonia water, ammonium sulfate, etc. in nitrogen fertilizers are not non-volatile under low temperature conditions, but have a slower volatilization rate and less volatility than the high temperature season in summer and autumn. Ammonium nitrate in nitrogen fertilizer, potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate in potassium fertilizer are prone to combustion and explosion at high temperatures, but if stored in the kitchen or near a heating stove in winter, there is also great danger. The corrosivity of superphosphate has little to do with the temperature. Cloth bags, sacks, etc. will be corroded whenever they come into contact with superphosphate, and the contents of the bags such as seeds, salt, soda ash, etc. will deteriorate. When nitrogen fertilizer volatilizes, it will be converted into highly corrosive ammonium hydroxide when it encounters water vapor in the air. Seeds will lose their germination ability when they encounter seeds, they will deteriorate when they encounter grain, and they will fail when they encounter pesticides. Iron can cause corrosion and spalling.

Therefore, in the cold winter, chemical fertilizers will also volatilize. Do not ignore this during storage.
