N-EDGE SOIL

Protect your fertilizer investment against leaching and denitrification

Effectively keep nitrogen in its place while creating an efficient nutrient source for your crops with N-Edge® Soil nitrogen stabilizer from CHS. This powerful solution actively maintains nitrogen availability in the root zone, thereby enhancing your opportunity for robust crops that achieve their maximum yield potential.

Moreover, N-Edge® Soil empowers you to precisely fine-tune your fertility programs. Consequently, you’ll protect against groundwater contamination, significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and ultimately harvest more from every pound of fertilizer applied.

N-Edge® Soil reduces nitrogen loss in three ways:

  • Helps prevent leaching (movement and loss of nitrate below the root zone by rain and irrigation water due to negatively-charged soil and organic matter particles repelling nitrate).
  • Helps prevent denitrification (soil microbes converting nitrate to a gaseous form, which can then be lost to the atmosphere as a greenhouse gas).
  • Helps slow transformation of ammonium to nitrate (holding nitrogen for a longer time in a form that’s less susceptible to leaching).

Protecting nitrogen at the root zone is especially critical for:

  • Wet or poorly drained soils
  • Tile-drained soils
  • Coarse, sandy soils
  • Heavier soils that are traditionally cultivated

Improving nutrient management

Alarmingly, up to 35% of your nitrogen investment vanishes through leaching and/or denitrification. Specifically, typical spring conditions—warm and wet—dramatically increase nitrogen loss risk, thereby depleting available nitrogen during crucial crop growth stages. Fortunately, N-Edge® Soil actively combats these nitrogen losses, consequently ensuring better nitrogen availability for early growth, thus optimizing yield and enhancing plant health.

Furthermore, the powerful active ingredient in N-Edge® Soil specifically targets and temporarily inhibits soil bacteria that transform ammonium to nitrate. As a result, soil effectively retains ammonium, immediately improving nitrogen supply to plants while simultaneously preventing costly nitrogen losses. Additionally, ammonium nutrition actively benefits overall plant health by strategically reducing pH in the soil surrounding the root zone, therefore dramatically improving phosphorus, iron, manganese, copper, and silicon nutrition.

Superior formulations and stewardship

N-Edge® Soil contains an effective penetrating agent that ensures its proven active ingredient, DCD, spreads throughout the treated fertilizer granule for maximum effectiveness.

The product provides superior handling because it dries faster, covers better and enables treated fertilizer to flow better. In addition, the product’s bright blue color makes it easy to see where treated fertilizer has been applied, helping to ensure nutrients are in the right place.

Increase nitrogen efficiency

Combined with urea or urea-containing fertilizers prior to application, N-Edge® Soil creates an enhanced efficiency fertilizer for all crops, turf and forestry. The combination can be incorporated or applied pre-plant, side-dress or used for surface applications.
