CENTURO™ Nitrogen Stabilizer

Featuring the patented active ingredient Pronitridine, CENTURO™ nitrogen stabilizer offers highly-effective below-ground protection against leaching and denitrification. CENTURO is noncorrosive to the metals used in anhydrous ammonia and UAN equipment, making it easy to handle and gentle on equipment — reducing downtime associated with equipment damage.

Yield Results

Optimized Yield Results

By keeping more nitrogen available for plant uptake, research has shown CENTURO can improve yields. Across a three-year study in Nebraska, Illinois and Missouri, fall-applied CENTURO treated ammonia increased corn yield by an average of 6 bu/acre compared to untreated fall-applied ammonia, and spring-applied CENTURO treated ammonia increased corn yield by an average of 6 bu/acre compared to untreated spring-applied ammonia.

 

Features & Benefits

Proven Efficiency. Unrivaled Protection.

Developed by Koch Agronomic Services (KAS), CENTURO nitrogen stabilizer is the first nitrification inhibitor to be registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 40 years. CENTURO was designed to help reduce nitrate leaching potential and optimize nutrient-use efficiency and yield potential. Whether you're applying in the fall or the spring, CENTURO provides growers with unparalleled protection, ensuring that crops have access to nitrogen when they need it most.

Noncorrosive FormulaCENTURO has a noncorrosive formula to the metals used in anhydrous ammonia and UAN equipment, making it easy-to-handle, gentle on equipment and reduces downtime associated with equipment damage. 
Ease of UseWith the ability to be added before, during or after the addition of anhydrous ammonia and UAN, and through the use of a side-kick system, CENTURO delivers the flexibility you need to run your operation with maximum efficiency. 
Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE)There's nothing complicated about this fact: a 2019 study in anhydrous ammonia across five site locations in Iowa, Nebraska and Indiana showed spring-applied CENTURO increased corn yield by 8 bu/acre over untreated ammonia.2Both CENTURO treated ammonia and untreated ammonia applied at 100% of the nitrogen rate or an average application rate of 200 lbs/acre. 
Flexible Storage OptionsCENTURO gives retailers storage options by not requiring stainless steel tanks like other stabilizers. Store CENTURO for up to two years without harming equipment or reducing effectiveness. 
Highly StableWith its subzero freeze point, CENTURO allows the flexibility to store the product safely and easily for extended periods of time. CENTURO will not freeze and does not require cold weather protective equipment as long as temperatures remain above -9 degrees Fahrenheit.

quote-imagesThe noncorrosive formula* of CENTURO is key to us and to our member-owners. That is a big selling point to PCA and customers that have their own storage tank. I'm able to tell them: 'This isn't going to hurt your tank.' We trust CENTURO in our tanks, it isn't hard on your equipment and it protects your investment. That's why we recommend CENTURO.

Research

Proven Nitrogen Protection

Since its introduction, CENTURO nitrogen stabilizer has helped deliver highly effective performance results and optimized yields. CENTURO 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.

Nitrate Leaching ResearchUrea-ammonium nitrate (UAN) treated with CENTURO showed significantly lower nitrate concentration than untreated UAN in soil lysimeter samples when averaged over the entire growing season.chart showing Nitrate Leaching ResearchThe underlying data was provided by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln under a Research Trial Financial Support Agreement with Koch Agronomic Services, LLC. Neither these institutions, nor the individual researchers referenced, endorse or recommend any product or service. Improvements in yield and nutrient use efficiency may not be observed in all cases.
