ARM U™ 18% NBPT
ARM U™ is an NBPT based fertilizer additive that allows plants to absorb a greater amount of nitrogen which otherwise disappears too quickly through conversion to ammonia gas.
ARM U™ is an NBPT based fertilizer additive that allows plants to absorb a greater amount of nitrogen which otherwise disappears too quickly through conversion to ammonia gas.
ARM U™ is an NBPT based fertilizer additive that allows plants to absorb and utilize nitrogen efficiently, which otherwise disappears too quickly through conversion to ammonia gas.
Whenever urea or UAN fertilizer is applied to soil.
Nitrogen is essential for plant life and growth and is therefore a component of many fertilizers. However, up to 50% of the nitrogen applied as soil fertilizer is unavailable to plants because it is quickly converted to ammonia gas and released into the atmosphere. ARM U™ inhibits this enzymatic process, allowing nitrogen to be absorbed through the plant roots.
Unlike other NBPT formulations, ARM U™ is patented and an improved formulation that contains polymers (spreader molecules) that increase NBPT’s binding rates to urease enzyme leading to improved NBPT activity. This increased activity enables a lower active ingredient and a lower use rate. In addition, ARM U™ is formulated to have a high buffering capacity to keep the solution pH below 7 and to protect and fully utilize the nitrogen present in the NBPT molecule.
For the best results, use the complete line of recommended Active AgriScience™ products for your crop.
ARM U contains N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT), which inhibits the urease enzyme activity that produces ammonia gas. By stopping nearly 96% of the volatilization loss, plants have the opportunity to absorb and utilize the nitrogen necessary for photosynthesis and production of protein.

18% NBPT
UREASE INHIBITOR
A liquid fertilizer additive that controls ammonia volatilization from urea and urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) fertilizers.
ACTIVE INGREDIENT: 18% N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT).
INACTIVE INGREDIENTS: (82%) [N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), propylene glycol, emulsifier, preservative, dye]
READ THE ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.
BLENDING INSTRUCTIONS:
Blending into UREA-AMMONIUM NITRATE (UAN) SOLUTIONS: Use 1.2 L ARM U™/ 1000 kg UAN solution. Fill spray tank with half the desired amount of UAN, Measure the recommended quantity of Arm U™ and add to the tank. Mix well. Add other products at this stage, if needed. Add the second half of the UAN solution. Continue mixing until well blended.
Blending into UREA: Use 2 L ARM U™/1000 kg Urea. For uniform blending, use a blender with impregnation equipment. Weigh the urea and transfer to blender. Add the required amount of ARM U to the urea in the blender. Blend until the ARM U™ is uniformly mixed into the urea. Do not add any other fertilizer materials until ARM U™ is thoroughly distributed. If mixture appears wet or sticky, a drying agent may be added at this time.
NOTE: Density=9 lb per gallon (1.07 grams / cubic centimeter) at 20°C.
