ESN Increases Yields in Irrigated Cotton Production

In this Arkansas study the highest yields were produced by a blend supplying 75% of the total N as ESN within two weeks before planting
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 how ESN can increase yields in furrow-irrigated cotton. 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.
