NITRAIN ™
ENGINEERED TO REDUCE NITROGEN VOLATILIZATION
Reduces the activity of urease enzymes. When urea-based fertilizers are treated with NITRAIN
nitrogen stabilizer, it helps to avoid the volatilization losses that can occur.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS PRODUCT BENEFITS
Reduces volatility by inhibiting the activity of the
urease enzyme. Urease is a naturally occurring
enzyme in the soil responsible for breaking down
urea when moisture and organic matter are present. • Prevents the volatilization of both urea and UAN
fertilizer applications
• Increases the efficiency and utilization of nitrogen
• Contributes to yield optimization
