Security where it counts
There are a lot of ways that nitrogen can end up out of reach. To protect above ground nitrogen from ammonia volatilization and below ground nitrogen from denitrification and leaching, CHS Agronomy offers its N-Edge portfolio of nitrogen stabilizer products.
Use of N-Edge products, which can help protect against nitrogen loss, is especially critical during these situations:
- When fertilizer is surface applied, especially to moist soil
- Under high crop residue. such as reduced or no-till conditions
- When warm temperatures, high soil pH, and other weather and field challenges lead to increased nitrogen loss at or near the soil surface
N-Edge® Pro
N-Edge Pro is a 17% NBPT and 23% DCD combination nitrogen stabilizer that can be applied to both above and below ground applications of urea and urea ammonia nitrate (UAN) to protect against volatility, leaching, and de-nitrification. N-Edge® Pro is your safety net, using dual modes of action to keep your nitrogen secure and safe from loss in both above and below ground nitrogen applications.
- Protects above ground nitrogen from ammonia volatilization
- Protects below ground nitrogen from denitrification and leaching
- Dual formulation and proven solvent offer enhanced mixing and handling
N-Edge®
N-Edge reduces nitrogen loss, providing a valuable window of time for rain, irrigation, or incorporation to move fertilizer to the root zone before volatilization occurs. This nitrogen stabilizer uses a proven active ingredient, NBPT, to increase the efficiency of urea or urea containing fertilizers for all crops, turf and forestry by reducing nitrogen loss to the environment and increasing nutrient availability for plant growth.
- Protects above ground nitrogen from volatilization
- NBPT inhibits activity of the urease enzyme that breaks down urea
- Slows the conversion of urea to ammonia gas
N-Edge® 2
N-Edge 2 reduces nitrogen loss, providing a three-week window for rain, irrigation, or incorporation to move fertilizer to the root zone before volatilization occurs. N-Edge® 2 contains a higher concentration of the active ingredient, NBPT, which provides an increased window of protection. This nitrogen stabilizer increases the efficiency of urea and urea-containing fertilizers for all crops, turf and forestry. It can be applied:
- Increased protection above ground from volatilization
- NBPT inhibits activity of the enzyme (urease) that breaks down urea
- Slows the conversion of urea to ammonia gas
N-Edge® Soil 2
N-Edge Soil 2 is a high-load DCD (dicyandiamide) nitrogen stabilizer that provides protection against leaching and denitrification with below ground applications of Urea and UAN.
- Protects below ground nitrogen from de-nitrification and leaching
- Blocks Nitrosomonas bacteria activity in the soil that causes loss
- Higher DCD percentage extends protection window
