When it comes to a side-dress application on corn, growers should consider treating their UAN investment with a nitrogen stabilizer. While the weather can be unpredictable, the nitrogen available for plant uptake doesn’t have to be when using AGROTAIN™ nitrogen stabilizer, a urease inhibitor that protects against ammonia volatilization.

In a study conducted by the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, AGROTAIN increased corn yield by 15 bushels per acre compared to the untreated urea-ammonium nitrate (UAN). Due to the lack of adequate incorporation by at least a half-inch of rainfall or irrigation, or mechanical incorporation into the soil of more than two inches deep, the UAN was more susceptible to losses. By using AGROTAIN with urease inhibitor technology, it decreased losses to volatilization, allowing a grower to optimize yields in situations where nitrogen loss is a limiting factor.
