ESN

Environmentally Smart Nitrogen, that's ESN.

Nitrogen is a naturally-occurring element in nature. However, without proper management in agricultural application it can be harmful to the surrounding environment. With its unique polymer coating and temperature controlled-release diffusion of nitrogen, ESN ensures nitrogen goes where it's needed, and stays there.

Minimize leeching, denitrification and volitalization.

Conventional nitrogen sources make N available immediately. This raw N in the soil is subject to loss by downward movement of nitrate through the soil (leaching) or by conversion to gasses which escape into the atmosphere (denitrification and volatilization). Because ESN contains N within the polymer coating, more nitrogen gets into the crop when it's needed - not into water supply or lost to the environment. ESN is the smarter source of nitrogen for those areas or practices where environmental safety is a concern.

Generations of productive farmland.

When N is kept out of the water supply and air, it's less susceptible to losses. And when N losses are minimized, nitrogen use by growing plants is maximized. Smart use of nitrogen is an excellent way to ensure viable and productive resources for years to come.
