Urease and Nitrification Inhibitors are efficiency enhancers contributing to reducing nitrogen losses from fertilisers.

Efficiency Enhancers are a key element of agronomic sustainability: they enable an improved efficiency of nitrogen containing organic and mineral fertilisers by ensuring better climate protection and increasing yield potential.

Key Facts

-47% NO₃⁻ leaching

The use of inhibitors can reduce nitrate leaching by 47%.

-70% NH₃

Urease inhibitors reduce ammonia (NH₃) emissions by 70% as well as nitrous oxide (N₂O) by 23%.

-44% N₂O

Nitrification inhibitors (NI) reduce nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions by 44% on average.

Why use efficiency enhancers?

Nitrogen fertilisers are used to boost yields, but only about 50% of the applied nitrogen is taken up by the crop while the rest is released into the atmosphere, in deeper soil layer, ground water and/or fixed at soil particles. These losses pose a challenge for human health, climate and biodiversity. Efficiency enhancers (also called nitrogen stabilisers) such as urease and nitrification inhibitors offer a solution to address this challenge.
