Protect your nitrogen with Centuro

October 1, 2021 Volume 10 Edition 1

By keeping more nitrogen available for plant uptake, research has shown CENTURO can improve yields. Across a three-year study in Nebraska, Illinois and Missouri, fall-applied CENTURO treated ammonia increased corn yield by an average of 6 bu/acre compared to untreated fall-applied ammonia, and spring-applied CENTURO treated ammonia increased corn yield by an average of 6 bu/acre compared to untreated spring-applied ammonia. For information or to place an order, contact your trusted AFS agronomist.

Since its introduction, CENTURO® nitrogen stabilizer has helped deliver highly effective performance results and optimized yields. CENTURO has helped growers meet their nutrient management, nitrogen efficiency and yield goals, and has quickly become a proven nitrification inhibitor for anhydrous ammonia and UAN. Its non-corrosive formula is gentle on equipment and continues to be an easy-to-handle solution.

If you aren’t using CENTURO to protect your nitrogen—now is the time. See how the first nitrification inhibitor to receive EPA registration in the last 40 years is changing the way people look at stabilizers. Then, learn how it can give you confidence without the complication.
