Growers need to consider the cost of a 30 percent loss of nitrogen and balance that against the cost of urea plus Agrotain. I believe this combination is still in a price range growers are used to for ammonium nitrate," he says.

With ammonium nitrate (AN, 34-0-0) availability extremely limited, farmers have had to turn to urea granular or urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) liquid fertilizer for surface application. While both these products are subject to volatilization losses to the atmosphere when applied to the soil surface, research by the Indian Head Agricultural Research Foundation (IHARF) and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has found that volatilization losses from UAN may not be as much of a concern as initially feared.
