NutriSphere N

October 29th, 2009 by Robert Saik

Kent Whitting of JR Simplot Company did a quick presentation on their NutriSphere N technology…these are some of the ideas.

This is a nitrogen stabilzation product that acts as a urease inhibitor as well as reducing nitrification (in two areas).

It is a clear polymer coating applies to a nitrogen granular surface.  It contains a blue dye that allows you to monitor the coating and results in a urea coated product that looks very similar to ESN.

There is a formulation that is compatible for liquids…but this is not registered yet in Canada.

My take…we are going to see more of the technologies coming out.  We have been using ESN now for a couple of years…we like what we see. 

This technology will reduce nitrous oxide emmisions and eventually could play a role in carbon credit generation.
