Participants will understand the use, limitations, and applicability of nitrification and urease inhibitors.
Enhanced Efficiency Fertilizers (EEF) are fertilizer products with characteristics that allow increased plant uptake and reduced potential for nutrient losses (e.g. gaseous losses, leaching or runoff) to the environment when compared to an appropriate reference fertilizer product (as defined by the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials – Official 2009).
This webinar will cover “Nitrification and Urease Inhibitors” both of which are nitrogen stabilizers. During the webinar participants will learn: What are EEFs? What are nitrification inhibitors? What are urease inhibitors? How do they work (practical applications)? When do they work? What are the limitations (soils/climates)? When do/don’t they make economic sense?
USDA NRCS field staff need to have a working knowledge of these products so they may assist our customers with nutrient management planning. There are several products on the market that confuse farmers and field staff; most are additives, not nitrogen stabilizers as defined and guaranteed. Conservation Practice Standard 590 for nutrient management includes EEF information in the general criteria and EEF are offered as options in two sections of additional criteria. The use of EEF as part of a nutrient management plan are included in NRCS financial assistance programs.
This webinar is presented by USDA NRCS Science and Technology.
