Reduce Clumping in Dry Fertilizer Blends With ESN
Humidity and warm temperatures can cause fertilizer blends to take on moisture over …
A two year Missouri study demonstrates how ESN can increase corn yields in no till systems. ESN protects nitrogen (N) from loss inside its unique protective coating and supplies N to the crop when it is needed. The result is increased corn yields and improved N-use efficiency.
Corn plants need N throughout the growing season. Most N uptake by a corn plant takes place in the period of about 40-80 days after planting and continues up to 120 days after planting. ESN may be used to meet this long season demand.
In this two year study averaged across five corn hybrids, ESN surface applied at planting to no till corn yielded higher than all treatments. ESN yields were 7 bu/ac higher than urea treatments.
