CENTURO™ Nitrogen Stabilizer

CENTURO™ nitrogen stabilizer, available in two formulations—CENTURO A-PRO and CENTURO U-PRO—treats all major nitrogen sources: anhydrous ammonia, UAN, and urea. Featuring the patented active ingredient Pronitridine at over three times the concentration of the original CENTURO formulation, it delivers highly effective below-ground protection against denitrification and leaching. CENTURO is also noncorrosive to the metals used in anhydrous ammonia and UAN equipment, making it easy to handle, gentle on equipment, and reducing downtime from equipment damage.

Yield Results

Optimize Yield Results

Across a three-year study in the U.S. Corn Belt, CENTURO treated ammonia increased corn yield by an average of 6 bu/A in both fall and spring applications compared to untreated anhydrous.2

Features & Benefits

Proven Efficiency

CENTURO nitrogen stabilizer has helped growers meet their nutrient management, nitrogen efficiency and yield goals, and has quickly become a proven nitrification inhibitor for anhydrous ammonia and UAN. Its noncorrosive formula is gentle on equipment and continues to be an easy-to-handle solution.

monitoring3X Longer ProtectionCENTURO is proven to keep applied nitrogen in the ammonium form three times longer than without an inhibitor.¹

securitySubzero Freeze PointCENTURO boasts a freeze point of -23° C (-9° F) and can be stored for two years without degrading.

monitoringFlexible Storage OptionsCENTURO is highly stable and noncorrosive, eliminating the need for explosion-proof equipment or stainless-steel storage

ac_unitImproved Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE)In third-party research studies conducted in the U.S. from 2016 and 2017, CENTURO improved nitrogen use efficiency in anhydrous ammonia by up to 25 percent.²Both CENTURO treated ammonia and untreated ammonia applied at 100% of the nitrogen rate or an average application rate of 200 lbs/acre.

ac_unitWill Not Swell O-RingsCENTURO can remain in pumps over time without affecting their operation and washing or rinsing equipment between use is not necessary. This reduces your overall downtime by eliminating time spent maintaining and repairing equipment.

Formulations

Higher Concentration, Lower Application Rates

The two CENTURO formulations can treat all main sources of nitrogen: anhydrous ammonia, UAN and urea and offer highly effective below-ground protection against denitrification and leaching. CENTURO A-PRO and CENTURO U-PRO feature the active ingredient Pronitridine, at a load more than three times the concentration of the original CENTURO formulation proven to provide operational efficiencies and optimized yield potential.

CENTURO A-PRO

CENTURO A-PRO is the next-generation nitrification inhibitor used to delay nitrification in anhydrous ammonia. It is a non-dyed formulation with a hazy liquid appearance.

CENTURO U-PRO

CENTURO U-PRO is the next-generation nitrification inhibitor with an enhanced formulation to protect urea fertilizer and UAN applications. It is a dyed formulation with a dark purple liquid appearance.
