PROVEN PROTECTION

With more than a decade of research findings, CENTURO™ nitrogen stabilizer has proven to protect against nitrogen loss due to or via denitrification and leaching resulting in improved yields. By slowing the conversion to nitrate, CENTURO holds the applied nitrogen in the ammonium form three times longer than without an inhibitor.¹

"What that means to growers is that your nitrogen investment is working longer and harder for you," said Tim Laatsch, technical agronomy manager for Koch Agronomic Services. "The extended window of protection gives growers peace of mind that their nitrogen investment is available for plant uptake, translating to maximized yields and a boost to nitrogen use efficiency by up to 25 percent."²

In a 2019 field trial on corn in Michigan, UAN treated with CENTURO yielded 28 bushels per acre more than with untreated UAN.³

CORN YIELD BENEFIT WITH CENTURO IN UAN

Updated findings have also provided new recommended usage rates for CENTURO in UAN. A rate of 1.5 gallons per ton of UAN can now be used with most pre-plant, at plant, pre-emergent or post-emergent application. Those areas with a history of greater leaching and denitrification losses and applications made more than 30 days prior to planting should use 2.5 gallons per ton of UAN.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS FOR RETAILERS
