Why is AGROTAIN effective for seedrow applications if the risk of gaseous ammonia losses is virtually negated from ‘in-soil’ applications of urea?
The problem faced with seedrow applications of urea is somewhat different, in that the concentration of ammonia can become quite high within the confined zone of seed and fertilizer application. The source of this ammonia is not the urea fertilizer itself, but rather the ammonium carbonate that results from the activity of the urease enzyme on the urea.
