ESN

ESN®: Smart for your crops. Smart for your business.
Environmentally Smart Nitrogen for Agriculture

ESN® is Smart Nitrogen - and the most technologically advanced nitrogen (N) fertility product in decades. Its controlled-release technology delivers nitrogen to your growing crop when it's needed, not just when it's applied, allowing the crop to reach its full genetic potential. The unique polymer coating also helps prevent N loss and leaching as compared to conventional nitrogen sources. When you apply ESN, more of your fertilizer investment goes to work where you need it to.

What makes ESN so smart?

  • Increase yield - Polymer-encapsulated N is released based on optimal temperature for plants to grow contributing to proven yield increases.
  • Maximize N-use efficiency - The urea granule is isolated from the environment, so nitrogen-use efficiency is maximized, N loss is minimized, and nitrogen stays in the crop's root zone.
  • Save time and money - Nitrogen is released when plants need nutrients, not just at application - making one-time application of ESN convenient and economical.
  • Safe for crops and the environment - Crops treated with ESN can have a higher rate of nitrogen placed at time of seeding - the unique polymer coating prevents an oversupply of nitrogen that can damage the crop and leach into water systems.
