Advanced Nitrogen Stabilizing Technology

Once urea nitrogen reaches the soil it is subject to significant loss via volatilization and leaching, 20-27%
loss on average. Volatilization occurs when the naturally occurring urease enzyme decomposes urea to ammonia
gas. The newly formed gas is rapidly lost into the atmosphere. Leaching occurs as urease degraded nitrogen
readily forms ammonium carbonate. Ammonia carbonate has neither a positive or negative charge and therefore
cannot anchor to the negatively charged soil particles. This form of nitrogen is quickly pulled past the root zone and leached through the profile.

DCD is a nitrogen stabilization agent which slows the ammonium nitrogen process. Slowing down nitrification
process reduces leachable nitrogen and improves uptake.
