ESN Increases Cotton Yields in University Trials

In a summary of all cotton trials conducted with University Cooperators, ESN increased yields an average of 50 lbs. per acre compared to the standard practice for the area. 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 cotton yields and improved N-use efficiency.

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.

In this summary, ESN yielded more total pounds of lint in 9 of 11 trials with an average yield increase of 50 pounds per acre.
