  • Nitrogen exists in the soil in many forms and can change from one compound to another very quickly.  As a result of this nitrogen loss can be caused by various factors. 
  • Nitrogen loss in the soil typically results from leaching, denitrification, volatilization, erosion or run off as well as crop removal.  
  • Greater losses can occur when soils enter the spring season with recharged subsoil moisture, when more N is in the nitrate form, and when soils are warming.

  • Some benefits of Nitrogen Stabilizers are increased yields and decreased greenhouse gas emissions and decreased nitrogen leaching by 16%. The use of nitrogen stabilizers can minimize the risk of losing essential N from the soil.
