Protects your nitrogen investment from loss to the environment.
Can be used in conjunction with other nitrogen products and at different application timings.
APPLICATION TIMING. The chart above depicts the effects of ESN being applied as a preplant, sidedress, split applied alone, and split applied with UAN in corn. The flexibility in application that ESN provides, reduces the risk of insufficient nitrogen for crop development. The nitrogen released by ESN is controlled for 60-90 days depending on moisture and temperature in the soil and will continuously feed nitrogen throughout the growing season to help maximize yield and improve plant health. ESN is often blended with urea and/or AMS, and ESN can also be used in a fertility program with UAN and anhydrous ammonia.
FOLIAR NITROGEN. ESN can be used with foliar nitrogen products. More foliar nitrogen products have been used recently to help boost corn health and yield. Apply ESN preplant or sidedress and then apply a foliar nitrogen product later in the season closer to tassel.
STABILIZERS/INHIBITORS. There are retailers who use ESN with Agrotain. They apply the Agrotain to the urea—do not apply Agrotain directly to ESN—and add ESN to the blend last. These types of applications are used on wheat topdress and no-till fields where the fertilizer sits on the soil surface.
