Mar. 20, 2013 Source: Dow AgroSciences news release Dow AgroSciences is pleased to announce a partnership with the 4R Nutrient Stewardship Program, which helps growers optimize fertilizer inputs. The Dow AgroSciences nitrogen stabilizer portfolio consists of N-SERVE®, the original nitrogen stabilizer, and INSTINCT®. INSTINCT and N-SERVE protect the crop's largest input investment, ensuring nitrogen is available when and where corn needs it most. "We are happy to have Dow AgroSciences as a partner of the 4R Nutrient Stewardship Program," says Lara Moody, director of stewardship programs for The Fertilizer Institute. "Nitrogen stabilization is increasingly being utilized by growers to enhance nitrogen use efficiency and reduce losses to the environment. Having Dow AgroSciences as a 4R Partner helps us demonstrate how fertilizer advancements help achieve the cropping system goals." The 4R framework takes an innovative, science-based approach that provides stakeholders with educational tools, advocacy support and implementation recommendations for crop nutrient stewardship. The program advocates management practices to increase production, boost farmer profitability, enhance environmental protection and improve sustainability. The concept is to use the right fertilizer source, at the right rate, at the right time, with the right placement. Dow AgroSciences Commits to the 4R Nutrient Stewardship Program "Our partnership with 4R focuses on the importance of nutrient stewardship and fertilizer efficiency," says John Demerly, portfolio market leader, Dow AgroSciences. "Since the first nitrogen stabilizer, N-SERVE, was introduced in 1974, we have grown our team of sales and agronomy experts in nitrogen management. Today, we continue to develop innovative solutions for a more sustainable world." Dow AgroSciences funds third-party and university research to support the science behind nitrogen stabilizer solutions while reinforcing the 4R program, which promotes nutrient management in a growing agriculture industry. "INSTINCT and N-SERVE nitrogen stabilizers are a great fit within the 4R program," says Jason Moulin, product manager, U.S. nitrogen stabilizers, Dow AgroSciences. "Our nitrogen stabilizers support stronger, healthier plants, which ultimately lead to optimum yield." How INSTINCT and N-SERVE Support 4R's Efforts INSTINCT is proven to optimize yield and profit potential of corn by inhibiting nitrification of applied nitrogen with UAN, urea or manure. N-SERVE® is credited for its ability to inhibit nitrification when used with anhydrous ammonia. INSTINCT® recently received additional credible backing of a Section 3 Federal Supplemental Label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for postemerge sidedress applications. It is tank-mix compatible and can be incorporated with just a half inch of rain, which can lower field applications and reduce equipment and fuel use. N-SERVE reduces leaching of nitrates into groundwater and reduces the loss of nitrogen as a greenhouse gas into the atmosphere through denitrification. Tweet |
