Yield Results

Y I E L D   R E S U L T S

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.

F E A T U R E S  &  B E N E F I T S

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.

Protects Yield Potential
+
Protects Yield Potential

Nitrogen 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.

Proven Results

Proven Results

AGROTAIN is the most proven urease inhibitor on the market—backed by more than 1,000 trials and over 20 years of real-world results on millions of acres worldwide.

Cold Weather Protection

Cold Weather Protection

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

AGROTAIN vs. AMMONIUM NITRATE

AGROTAIN vs. AN

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

Research

R E S E A R C H

Studies conducted by land-grant universities across the Midwest show that AGROTAIN-treated urea outperformed other stabilizer products in both nitrogen protection from ammonia volatilization and yield results.

Pre-Flood Nitrogen Management for Rice Production

Pre-flood nitrogen fertilizer application can set the stage for a rice crops yield potential and ultimately a grower’s profit. But without the right protection, a grower could be forfeiting the potential benefits of a pre-flood nitrogen application.

Protecting Side-Dress UAN in Corn

Consider treating UAN investments with a nitrogen stabilizer that protects against ammonia volatilization.

Formulations

F O R M U L A T I O N S

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).

AGROTAIN ADVANCED Logo
  • UREA: 2.0 qts. per ton
  • UAN: 1.0 qt. per ton

AGROTAIN® Advanced 1.0 is an innovative, patented 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.

AGROTAIN DRI MAXX Logo
  • UREA: 2.5 lbs. per ton
  • UAN: 1.25 lbs. per ton

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