To minimize the loss of nitrogen (N) from fall-applied anhydrous ammonia (AA), follow these four best practices as defined by Purdue University: seal the application slot, avoid applications on poorly-drained or excessively well-drained soils, wait till soil temperatures approach freezing, and use a nitrification inhibitor.

When considering whether or not to add inhibitors to your sidedress application, it's important to consider what they're meant to do, how they behave and how weather conditions factor into the equation, say nutrient management specialists at the University of Minnesota Extension.

On-farm nitrogen loss is one of the major issues on farming, causing lower yields and higher greenhouse gas emissions. New research from the University of the Basque Country demonstrates positive results from using nitrification inhibitors.

Centuro nitrification inhibitor and Anvol urease inhibitor are designed to take nitrogen protection to the next level with new active ingredients.

A record number of Iowa farmers signed up to install nutrient reduction practices -- including cover crops, no-till/strip till or nitrification inhibitors -- on their farms through the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s statewide water quality cost share program.
