Instinct NXTGEN®

Instinct NXTGEN^® nitrogen stabilizer delivers maximum profit by extending nitrogen availability during corn’s key growth stages. It works underground, where up to 70% of nitrogen loss can occur through leaching into the ground or denitrification into the atmosphere.

Any source of nitrogen is susceptible to loss through leaching or denitrification. Instinct NXTGEN maximizes nitrogen when used with UAN, urea and liquid manure.

Corn uses nitrogen in two forms: ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-). But it prefers ammonium — because that form is more efficient for plants to use and less susceptible to loss.

But nitrate nitrogen can’t help corn if it’s beyond the reach of the plants’ roots during critical growth times. Instinct NXTGEN acts to slow down the bacteria that converts ammonium to nitrate, keeping nitrogen in the ammonium form longer. That means it’s there when corn is ready for it — so the crop can reach its maximum yield potential.

• Instinct NXTGEN^® nitrogen stabilizer, powered by Optinyte^™ technology, maximizes yield potential. This is proven by more than 1,000 field trials and university research.
• When using Instinct NXTGEN with urea, UAN and liquid manure, farmers and retailers benefit from:*
  • 51% fewer greenhouse gas emissions
  • 16% less nitrogen leaching
  • 28% greater soil retention
