Help customers prolong nitrogen availability

Fertilizer timing and application methods vary, yet all share the same goal: ensure nitrogen availability to maximize corn yield potential.

That’s why Josh Alderks, sales manager at Seward Ag Supply in Seward, Illinois, recommends Instinct NXTGEN® nitrogen stabilizer.

“We recommend Instinct NXTGEN to prolong the availability of the nitrogen,” he says. “It’s a long growing season. Mother Nature has a lot of ups and downs, and if we can keep the nitrogen in the ammonium form longer, we’re better off.”

Instinct NXTGEN nitrogen stabilizer provides unrivaled protection of urea, UAN and liquid manure from nitrogen loss. The stabilizer works by slowing down the bacteria that convert ammonium to nitrate, keeping nitrogen in the ammonium form longer. That means it’s there when corn is ready for it — so the crop can reach its maximum yield potential.

“We’ve done trials, and we’ve seen it work,” Alderks says. “To me, it’s a no-brainer. [Instinct NXTGEN] is the best product we offer here to keep the nitrogen stable.”
