ESN Improves Winter Ryegrass Forage Production

A study conducted by Dr. Daniel Rivera, Mississippi State University. Fertilizer treatments were applied on November 14, December 19, and March 15 at a rate of 60 lbs. N/acre.

Are you looking for a way to reduce the risk of nitrogen loss and supply nitrogen to ryegrass during the winter growing season? ESN improves nitrogen utilization and increased yields in winter ryegrass by protecting your nitrogen from loss.

Advantages of ESN:

  • Reduced risk of nitrogen loss
  • Nitrogen is available when needed
  • Take advantage of warm conditions during the winter months

Ryegrass needs nitrogen throughout the growing season. Traditional nitrogen sources are available for a short time after application, however, with ESN, nitrogen is available for crop use through the growing season. The following study was designed to evaluate ESN as a controlled-release fertilizer source for winter ryegrass, and demonstrates increased winter forage yield through better N-use efficiency.
