Lock it in

Lock in nitrogen, protect your investment, and boost crop performance with the N-Edge® portfolio from CHS.
Oct 10, 2025

Nitrogen fuels plant growth like no other nutrient, but it’s also one of the most unstable and easily lost once applied to the field. Without protection, nitrogen can escape through volatilization, leaching and denitrification, leaving your crops hungry and your investment wasted. 

That’s why nitrogen stabilization isn’t just a best practice, it’s a necessity. And with the N-Edge® portfolio from CHS, you have a powerful lineup of solutions designed to lock in nitrogen where it belongs: in the root zone, feeding your crops. 

Why stabilize nitrogen? 

When nitrogen is applied to the soil, it immediately begins interacting with environmental factors and soil microbes. Without a stabilizer, up to 30% of nitrogen can be lost before plants ever get a chance to use it. That’s not just a loss in yield potential, it’s a loss in profitability. 

Nitrogen stabilizers slow down the processes that cause nitrogen loss, giving you a wider window for incorporation and uptake. Whether you’re applying urea, UAN or manure, stabilizers like N-Edge help ensure your nitrogen stays put. 

Lock it in with N-Edge 

Nitrogen loss is preventable and with the N-Edge portfolio, you have the tools to protect your investment, boost crop performance, and support sustainable nutrient management. 

For more information on the N-Edge portfolio, talk to your local CHS agronomy retailer. It’s time to lock in your nitrogen and unlock your yield potential.
