Proven Protection For Nitrogen Investments

When there isn't enough nitrogen available for plants during their major growth period, the chance for lost yield increases. AGROTAIN is proven to optimize yields in situations where nitrogen loss is a limiting factor.

Features & Benefits

Delivering Research-Proven Protection

The first product of its kind in the marketplace and still going strong — AGROTAIN has been delivering superior nitrogen-loss protection due to ammonia volatilization for more than 20 years. When it comes to above-ground nitrogen protection, AGROTAIN protects a grower's investment today and protects their legacy for tomorrow.

Proven
ResultsAGROTAIN is the most proven urease inhibitor on the market—backed by more than 1,000 trials and over 25 years of real-world results on millions of acres worldwide.

Protects Yield PotentialNitrogen loss due to ammonia volatilization can be up to 40 percent when urea or UAN is not adequately incorporated.* AGROTAIN is proven to control loss from ammonia volatilization.*"Adequate incorporation" means more than .5 inch of rain or irrigation, or mechanical incorporation into the soil of more than 2 inches deep.

AGROTAIN
vs. ANResearch shows that urea treated with AGROTAIN gives growers the same yield performance as ammonium nitrate fertilizer, but with fewer regulatory, transportation and storage issues.

Cold Weather ProtectionResearch proves that even at lower temperatures, nitrogen loss is still a risk. AGROTAIN protects against cold weather loss.

Research

Proven Research, Proven Results

Studies show that AGROTAIN-treated urea outperformed other stabilizer products in both nitrogen protection from ammonia volatilization and yield results.

Nitrogen Protection in Cold WeatherAn average of 27% of the untreated urea was lost to volatilization compared to less than 3% of the AGROTAIN treated urea, even when the average temperature during this trial was 37° F. chart showing Decreased Nitrogen Loss on Rice

Formulations

Leading Nitrogen Protection

All AGROTAIN nitrogen stabilizer formulations help control ammonia volatilization with the longest recognized urease inhibitor defined by Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO).

UREA: 2.1 litre per tonne
UAN: 1.05 litre per tonne

AGROTAIN Advanced 1.0 is an innovative, patent-pending liquid formulation with optimized cold-weather handling properties and quicker drying time when applied to urea. The proprietary formulation allows for a reduced application rate, minimizing the potential for buildup and allowing retailers to treat faster and store less product.

UREA: 1.25 kg. per metric tonne
UAN: 0.625 kg per metric tonne

AGROTAIN DRI-MAXX stabilizer is our improved, patent-pending dry formulation. This highly concentrated dry formulation offers improved handling characteristics as well as better flowability. This product adheres to the urea granules without adding additional moisture to the blend, resulting in minimal buildup.

UREA: 2.1-3.1 litres per metric tonne
UAN: 1.05-1.55 litres per metric tonne

AGROTAIN ULTRA stabilizer is a liquid formulation urease inhibitor that protects against ammonia volatilization. It can be blended with urea or UAN.
