Nitrogen Stabilizers
Protect Your Nitrogen. Improve Nitrogen Use Efficiency.
- Nitrogen is one of the largest investments you make in your crop. But once Nitrogen is applied, environmental conditions can quickly put that investment at risk. Moisture, temperature, soil type and application methods can all contribute to Nitrogen loss, reducing the amount available to the crop when demand is highest.
- NEON Nitrogen Stabilizers help protect Nitrogen above and below the soil surface, keeping more Nitrogen available for crop uptake and helping you get more from every fertilizer dollar.
Three Mechanisms of Nitrogen Loss
- The level of Nitrogen loss is dependent on the nitrogen source (form), placement, timing and rate. In addition, the weather and soil type
- play a huge factor in the potential for these losses.
Addressing Loss with NEON Nitrogen Stabilizers
The NEON product line offers dual action with both inhibitors in one jug.
These 2 inhibitors work in sequence with each other, to stretch Nitrogen availability to better match the needs of the crop.
The NEON product line addresses the 3 main ways Nitrogen is lost:
Benefits of NBPT - The Urease Inihibitor
- Blocks the urease enzyme from starting the hydrolysis process, keeping the fertilizer in the urea form.
- Protects Urea (and Urea in UAN) from converting to ammonium for 2 weeks, or longer with a higher rate of NBPT.
- Breaks down with the addition of water, which normally occurs from rainfall or irrigation.
Benefits of DCD - The Nitrification Inhibitor
- DCD limits Nitrosomonas bacterial growth in the soil
- Nitrosomonas is the soil organism (bacteria) responsible for converting ammonium (NH4+) to nitrite (NO2-). The first of 2 steps in the nitrification process.
- DCD manages this Nitrogen conversion for 2 to 4 weeks.
The NEON Difference PenXcel Technology
The NEON Nitrogen Stabilizer product line use the PenXcel technology, a uniquely formulated fertilizer additive for Urea and Urea Ammonium Nitrate (UAN). NEON Nitrogen Stabilizer products utilize two highly concentrated actives for triple-action control of Nitrogen losses.
More than Surface Coverage
A fertilizer granule may look completely coated—but appearance alone does not determine protection.
As illustrated by the dye comparison in the image below, PenXcel Technology is designed to carry the active ingredients deeper into the fertilizer granule rather than concentrating the treatment only at the surface.
Why does that matter?
As a urea granule dissolves from the outside in, deeper penetration helps maintain contact between the fertilizer and the Nitrogen Stabilizer throughout dissolution. Better penetration. More consistent protection.
- Granules dissolve from the outside in – a coated granule without PenXcel Technology loses its protection with the first layer
- A PenXcel treated granule keeps protecting as every layer dissolves
- Deeper penetration = more of each granule actually treated per litre of product
- Also stabilizes NBPT itself – extending shelf life after blending
Blending and Flowability
When fertilizer application windows are short, every minute of blending matters. PenXcel technnology is designed for smoother handling and more efficient incorporation onto Urea and UAN fertilizer.
What the Treaters Noticed
- Faster Treating: Shorter blend times can help increase throughput during peak fertilizer season.
- Cold-Weather Performance: Designed to blend effectively under the conditions of winter and cold spring days.
- Improved Flowability: Helps minimize stickiness and clumping after treatment.
Formulation Efficacy
Nitrogen loss can begin quickly when warm temperatures, moisture, and surface exposure work against your fertilizer investment.
PenXcel technology helps reduce the conditions that lead to ammonia volatilization.
- Same active ingredients. Different Formulation. Roughly half the loss.
- When a competitor leads with their NBPT percentage, you counter with this curve: it’s not what’s on the label, it’s what reaches the granule core — and stays active.
