AGR-185: Nitrogen Transformation Inhibitors and Controlled-Release Urea

Lloyd Murdock, Greg Schwab | Apr. 21, 2010 (Major Revision)

The soaring cost of fossil fuels is an indicator that nitrogen fertilizer prices are going to remain high for the foreseeable future. With higher N prices, many producers are trying to evaluate the usefulness of several N additive products in their production systems. High N prices make these products more attractive because it takes fewer pounds of saved N to offset the price of the additive. Producers should have a good understanding of how these products work in order to make informed decisions regarding their use.
