How does AGROTAIN help reduce gaseous losses from surface broadcast applied urea?
Applying AGROTAIN to urea fertilizer retains the urea in its original chemical form for an extended period of time. Untreated urea starts to breakdown into the unstable ammonium carbonate form quite rapidly, resulting in a risk of losses unless rainfall moves the urea into the soil. By treating urea with AGROTAIN, the window of opportunity for rainfall to move the urea into the soil before it is converted to the unstable form is greatly extended.
