New Process Cuts Nitrogen Loss From Fertilizer
A new method tested in Washington and Louisiana uses a small amount of potassium azide with anhydrous ammonia to reduce nitrogen runoff. Two months after application, 64 percent of nitrogen remained with the additive, versus 33 percent without. Scientists say it reduces soil water loss and keeps more nitrogen available to plants, potentially usable in fall applications.
