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.
