Fertilizer coating can increase the efficiency of N fertilizers and reduce their negative impact on the environment. This may be achieved by the utilization of biodegradable natural coating materials instead of polyurethane-based polymers. The aim of this study was to detect the effect of calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) fertilizer coated with modified conventional polyurethane enhanced with vegetable oils on the yield and quality of Brassica napus L. compared to CAN fertilizer with a vegetable oil-based polymer and to assess the risks of nitrogen loss. Three types of treatments were tested for both coated fertilizers: divided application (CAN, coated CAN), a single application of coated CAN, and a single application of CAN with coated CAN (1:2). A single application of coated CAN with both types of coating in the growth stage of the 9th true leaf significantly increased the yield, the thousand seed weight, and oil production compared to the uncoated CAN. The potential of using coated CAN may be seen in a slow nitrogen release ensuring the nitrogen demand for rapeseed plants throughout vegetation and eliminating the risk of its loss. The increased potential of NH 4  + volatilization and NO 3  - leaching were determined using the uncoated CAN fertilizer compared to the coated variants. Oil-based polymer coatings on CAN fertilizer can be considered as an adequate replacement for partially modified conventional polyurethane.
