ESN Maintains Leaf Nitrogen Levels in Irrigated Cotton Production

In this Arkansas study, ESN maintains cotton leaf N content later in the season when conventional urea runs out. A blend supplying 75% of the total N as ESN within two weeks before planting, also the highest yielding treatment in the study, was sufficient to maximize leaf N late into the growing season.
A Study conducted by Dr. Morteza Mozaffari, Univ. of AR. Furrow irrigated on fine sandy loam. All nitrogen was applied within 2 weeks prior to planting to supply the needs of the plant for the entire growing season.

An Arkansas study demonstrates ESN is more effective in maintaining plant nitrogen (N) content through the growing season. ESN protects nitrogen (N) from loss inside its unique protective coating and supplies N to the crop when it is needed. The result is a healthier cotton plant.

Cotton plants need N throughout the growing season. Most N uptake by a cotton plant takes place in the period of about 40-80 days after planting and continues up to 140 days after planting. ESN may be used to meet this long season demand.
