Nutrient Stabilizers

Nutrient Stabilizers are products applied to Dry Fertilizer or mixed with our Liquid Fertilizer to help protect against:

Nitrogen Losses:

Leaching - Losses Down through the Soil as Nitrate-N
- Threatening Groundwater Contamination
- Typically Worse in Sandy Soils
Volatilization - Loss to the Air as NH3 Gas
- Due to Warm Air Temps and Wet Soil Surface
- Typically occurs when fertilizer is Surface Broadcast and Not Incorporated
Denitrification - Losses to the air as N2 Gas
- Due to Saturated Soils and Anaerobic Bacteria
- Typically Worse in Clay or Harder Soils

Phosphate Losses

Soil Fixation - Phosphate Ions bond to the Soil Ions
- Unavailable to the Plants in this form

American Plains Co-op offers solutions to these concerns in our broad line-up of Nutrient Stabilizers.
