Introducing N-Zone
By: Dillon Blythe, Precision Ag Specialist
We are firm believers in stabilizing nitrogen to maximize its effectiveness. With that said, we are excited to announce our new nitrogen management aid; N-Zone. This product can be used in anhydrous ammonia, UAN, and liquid manure. The N-Zone formulation focuses on using the soil’s cation exchange capacity (CEC) to bond the positive cations of N-Zone GL to the negative anions of soil and nitrogen. When N-Zone’s polymers and calcium bond with nitrogen, microbial activity increases and gives you a 60 to 90-day residual window regardless of application timing. Essentially N-Zone is converting ammonium to yield.More

This number has been growing every year with more producers integrating this practice for various reasons.
Every operation is different and various cover crops provide many different benefits such as increasing cation exchange capacity levels, reducing runoff, protecting water quality, soil health, grazing for livestock etc.More
