Stop Loss of Nitrogen with Spring Applications

Protect your Nitrogen investment.

You’ve probably heard about the benefits of using nitrogen stabilizers to protect fall-applied nitrogen over the winter, but did you know that spring nitrogen applications are at risk for loss as well? That’s because the majority of the nitrogen that is applied at planting is not going to be taken up by the plant until about 60 days later.

If that nitrogen converts to nitrate before the crop is able to use it, it can be lost. It often becomes a race between the nitrate leaching and the growth rate of the plant’s roots. In a wet year, nitrate is more likely to reach the tile lines before the plant has a chance to take it up. Stabilizing nitrogen helps keep it in ammonium form longer, which greatly reduces the risk of leaching. That helps protect your nitrogen investment and improves your return on investment potential and yields.

Instinct II

Instinct® II nitrogen stabilizer is proven to optimize yield and profit potential of corn and wheat by inhibiting nitrification of applied nitrogen with UAN, urea and liquid manure.

Ammonia volatilization can have a serious impact on your yield results and reduce your return on investment. In research studies, ANVOL™ has been proven to defend against volatilization and boost yield results compared to untreated urea.

After nearly a decade in this role, it is not often a question of “if” herds are overcrowding, but more so “how much”? There are a ton of factors to consider when deciding to keep a cow around. Is she carrying a black calf? Is there enough feed inventory on hand to feed the herd and have the desired carryover? What might the income per stall look like at 140% overcrowding versus 125%? The challenge is that no two dairies have the same answer.
