Nitrogen Stabilizers - Ag Plus Cooperative

Keep Your Nitrogen Available at Crucial Growth Stages

Roughly 80% of a corn plant's total nitrogen need occurs 75 days after emergence. Protect your nitrogen investment with Ag Plus stabilizers for urea and anhydrous ammonia to keep it in the root zone when the plant needs it.

Farmers know how critical nitrogen is for crop health and maximizing yields. But did you know that without the right protection, up to 30% of your applied nitrogen can be lost to the environment? That means valuable nutrients are leaching away into the soil or volatilizing into the air, leaving your crops undernourished and your fertilizer investment wasted.

The good news? Nitrogen stabilizers can help you prevent those losses, ensuring your crops get the nutrients they need when they need them. If you're looking to protect your nitrogen investment and increase efficiency in your fields, nitrogen stabilizers are the key.

Let’s dive into how nitrogen stabilizers work and the benefits they offer for your farm.

What Are Nitrogen Stabilizers?

Nitrogen stabilizers are products designed to slow the natural processes that lead to nitrogen loss in the soil. After applying nitrogen fertilizers, two main risks come into play:

Leaching: Nitrogen, particularly in the form of nitrate, can be washed away by rainwater, ending up in groundwater instead of being absorbed by your crops.

Volatilization: Nitrogen can also escape into the atmosphere as ammonia gas, especially in warm or dry conditions.

Nitrogen stabilizers work by inhibiting these loss mechanisms, keeping nitrogen in the root zone longer, where it’s available for plant uptake. This results in better nutrient efficiency and higher yields.

Nitrogen Stabilizers for Anhydrous Ammonia

Anhydrous ammonia is a vital source of nitrogen for crop growth, and nitrogen stabilizers can significantly enhance its effectiveness. Here's how nitrogen stabilizers benefit anhydrous ammonia usage:

Slows Nitrification Process: Nitrogen stabilizers delay the conversion of ammonium to nitrate, keeping nitrogen in the ammonium form for a longer duration.

Optimum Crop Development: By maintaining nitrogen availability during crucial growth stages, these stabilizers contribute to improved crop development and higher yields.

Practical Handling and Compatibility: Non-corrosive formulations and compatibility with various NH3 injection systems make them easy to use and effective for farmers.

Nitrogen Stabilizers for Urea

Urea is another commonly used nitrogen fertilizer, and nitrogen stabilizers can play a vital role in preserving its efficacy. Here are the benefits of using nitrogen stabilizers with urea:

Prevents Nitrogen Loss: Nitrogen stabilizers shield urea from leaching and denitrification, reducing nitrogen loss and maximizing its utilization by crops.

Extended Nitrogen Availability: These stabilizers ensure that nitrogen remains available to crops when they need it most, promoting steady growth.

Versatility with Applications: Nitrogen stabilizers work effectively with UAN, urea, and liquid manure, providing flexibility for various farming practices.

Flexible Payment Options with Our 25% Down Fall Fertilizer Program

Investing in nitrogen stabilizers is a smart decision for any grower looking to maximize fertilizer efficiency and boost crop yields. By keeping nitrogen in the root zone longer, these products ensure your crops get the nutrients they need for optimal growth, without the risk of losing your investment to leaching or volatilization.

Ag Plus offers a Fall Fertilizer Deferred Payment Program to help you manage your cash flow and tax planning. Pay just 25% down when you lock in your fall fertilizer, with the remaining balance due by January 20.

The best part? You can choose whether to pay the balance this year or next year—whichever is best for your tax strategy. Take control of your expenses and give your crops the nutrients they need without the financial stress.
