Download PDF BASF has brought its formulation expertise to the fertiliser industry with a new product to stabilise urea fertilisers and reduce ammonia losses by up to 98%. CPM finds out how Limus works and reviews independent trials results and analysis from this harvest. Trials consistently show that Limus-treated urea works as reliably as AN. By Lucy de la Pasture Earlier this year Defra published a draft Clean Air Strategy for the UK which will likely be brought into legislation sometime during the new session of Parliament. The revised strategy will work hand in hand with the new Agricultural Bill to ensure the UK meets its legal obligations to reduce ammonia emissions. One of the approaches being considered is making the use of urease inhibitors mandatory when using urea-based fertilisers. In practice, the implication to growers currently using urea will be to either switch completely to ammonium nitrate (AN) fertilisers or to use an inhibited urea product. The polymer technology used in the Limus formulation means the two active ingredients permeate the urea granules, eliminating losses during spreading. This season marks the debut of a new urease inhibitor from BASF, Limus, available as both protected granular urea and…
