What does ESN fertilizer stand for?

Environmentally Smart Nitrogen
Environmentally Smart Nitrogen (ESN) Each urea granule of ESN is coated with a water-permeable polymer coating. After field application, soil moisture diffuses into the granule, creating a fertilizer solution that then diffuses back into the soil.

Is ESN good for grass?

Can we use ESN on our grass? ESN is similar to products that are commonly used in turf fertilizers. In fact, the polymer-coating technology used for ESN was originally developed and used in turf and golf courses. However, ESN was designed for agricultural crops and its release timing may not be ideal for lawn grass.

Who makes ESN fertilizer?

Agrium
ESN® (Environmentally Smart Nitrogen) is an enhanced efficiency nitrogen (N) fertilizer produced and distributed by Agrium. It is a polymer-coated, controlled-release urea product (often referred to as PCU or CRU), designed to protect against environmental N losses through leaching, volatilization, and denitrification.

How much nitrogen is in esn?

44% nitrogen
ESN technology uses a flexible polymer coating to encapsulate a urea granule comprised of 44% nitrogen. The unique coating protects and releases the nitrogen based on soil temperature. ESN gives crops the nitrogen it needs, when needed.

How long does it take for ESN to release?

about 50 to 70 days
We would typically describe the release of ESN to be about 50 to 70 days, but temperature and moisture can alter the timing of its release. Moisture has little effect on the rate of release as long as there is adequate moisture to maintain the process.

What is smart nitrogen?

Environmentally Smart Nitrogen (ESN) is a polymer-coated urea formulated as 44-0-0. The reason it contains 2% less nitrogen (N) than urea (which is 46-0-0) is due to the weight of the polymer coating. ESN is commercially available in bulk in some parts of the Panhandle.

What is mesz fertilizer?

MESZ ® is a granulated fertilizer that incorporates phosphorus, sulphur and zinc within each granule, which should overcome issues with uneven distribution of micronutrients in the starter band.

What is the NPK of urea?

Urea is an inexpensive form of nitrogen fertilizer with an NPK (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) ratio of 46-0-0.

Which urea is best?

– Urea fertilizer provides nitrogen, which promotes green leafy growth that not only makes your garden look lush, but is also important for photosynthesis.

What is MEZ 10 fertilizer?

MicroEssentials® S10™ is an ideal starter fertilizer for use on most crops, including cereals, oilseeds and pastures. The patented Fusion™ technology process, nitrogen (12%), phosphorus (17.4%), and sulphur (10%) are fused into one nutritionally balanced granule, creating a single source for balanced crop nutrition.

What is S15 fertilizer?

MicroEssentials ® S15 ® (13-33-0-15S) is a proprietary fertilizer that combines nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) fused into one nutritionally balanced granule. Growing conditions in North Dakota and the Canadian Prairie Provinces varied greatly across 2011, 2012 and 2013.
