Complete Nitrogen Protection
Active AgriScience offers nitrogen stabilizers for every nitrogen loss scenario: above-ground to prevent volatilization, below-ground to reduce leaching and emissions, and dual-action for complete protection, ensuring nitrogen remains available and maximizes yield.
Why Do I Need a Nitrogen Stabilizer?
Depending on your climate and soil, a nitrogen stabilizer may not always be necessary. However, in high pH or dry soils, up to 50% of nitrogen can be lost through volatilization, while warm, moist soils increase losses via nitrification.
If any of these conditions match your farm, stabilizing your nitrogen can boost your profits.
What Causes Nitrogen Loss?
Nitrogen loss is caused by ammonia volatilization and nitrification processes. Ammonia volatilization occurs when urease enzymes convert urea-based fertilizers into ammonia gas, which can then escape into the atmosphere. Nitrification is the process by which soil bacteria convert ammonium to nitrate, an unstable form that is highly susceptible to loss through leaching, runoff, and denitrification.
How to Prevent Nitrogen Loss
Active AgriScience nitrogen stabilizers inhibit either volatilization, nitrification, or both. ARM U 18% NBPT inhibits volatilization while Active BANDIT neutralize the bacteria that causes nitrification. Active STABILIZER PLUS is a dual nitrogen stabilizer that reduces both forms of nitrogen loss.
Nitrogen Stabilizer Research
Our nitrogen stabilizers are backed by years of independent scientific research. In a recent study, urea treated with Active AgriScience stabilizers showed significant nitrogen savings. Across nine treatments and rates, cumulative ammonia loss was reduced by 73% to 93% compared to untreated fertilizer.
Which Nitrogen Stabilizer Should I Use?
Active AgriScience nitrogen stabilizers are suited for any climate, soil type, or budget. Colder climates with low rainfall will benefit more from our NBPT products while our DMPP products will be more effective in warmer environments and higher moisture.
