New Data from Purdue University for Instinct NXTGEN Nitrogen Stabilizer
Farmers want to know they are getting the best return possible on any product applied to their fields. How can they tell if the nitrogen stabilizer applied with fertilizer is making a difference?
This past growing season, the Corteva Agriscience nutrient maximizer sales team worked with Dr. Dan Quinn, assistant professor of agronomy at Purdue University, to perform several trials with Instinct NXTGEN nitrogen stabilizer. Their trial objectives were to gather corn yield, plant nitrogen uptake and soil nitrogen availability on plots that received nitrogen treated with Instinct NXTGEN nitrogen stabilizer and plots that were left untreated.
Initial findings from the 2023 trials indicate two key outcomes:
- The most significant yield differentiation came from the split application treatment test.
- Instinct NXTGEN nitrogen stabilizer delays the conversion of ammonium to nitrate following a nitrogen fertilizer application.
“Nitrogen is a farmers’ biggest investment in corn production, so we need to do everything we can to protect it,” Quinn said. “These initial trial results show that Instinct NXTGEN is doing what it’s supposed to — slowing the nitrification process and keeping nitrogen in the ammonium form for the corn crop to use.”
Quinn and his team will continue to collect and analyze data before publishing the final results.
