ESN contains a urea granule nitrogen (N) within a micro-thin polymer coating. This coating allows water within the soil to move into the granule and dissolve the urea inside. The urea solution then moves out through the coating into the soil where it is available to the crop.
The rate at which the urea solution moves out through the coating is determined by soil temperature and moisture. In cool soils when the crop is growing slowly, N release is slow. As the soil warms and crop growth increases, the granules release N more quickly and steadily.

Nitrification Inhibition › Basically prevents/slows ammonium’s
conversion to nitrate › Ammonium(+) is immobile in the soil Nitrate(-)
is mobile. In high rainfall, irrigated, well drained soil NO3 is easily lost.
› NO3 can be lost by leaching and Denitrification Both Take WATER!!!!

Chemically “Charged” Binds with Iron, Aluminum, Calcium
› Oklahoma Soils high in ALL of these. › Average down state Ca, 6000lbs avail.
Phosphorus Fertilizer and the Soil › Common commercial P fertilizers are highly
(≥90%) water soluble
![Page 27: Use of Fertilizer Additives](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012421/617612b21afce64cf6703bd3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
In general, P in dry fertilizers such as 18-46-0 and 11-52-0 P is orthophosphate.
P in common fluid fertilizers such as 10-34-0 and 7-21-7 is present as both orthophosphate & polyphosphate. › Approximately 2/3 of the P is present in the Poly and The
remainder is Ortho › Some fluids such as the 9-18-9 have all of the P as Ortho
The effect of both forms of P on crop production has been evaluated in various field trials throughout the Corn Belt.
The results from a study with corn in Nebraska are summarized in the following table.

You should not base choice of fertilizers on orthophosphate or polyphosphate claims.
Buy the source that best fits your needs and is the cheapest per lb of nutrient.

Avail®, which is marketed as a phosphate enhancing product, contains the same active ingredient as Nutrisphere. The Avail activity is attributed to binding of calcium or iron ions in the soil normally bind p.
AI of Nutrisphere/Avail, the compound is highly negatively charged and would tend to bind with any compound with a positive charge, not distinguishing one ion over another.

There were few differences due to N fertilizer sources or additives for the soils, crops, or environmental conditions evaluated.
Nutrisphere®, Nitamin® and Agrotain® did not improve yields at any location for any crop where tested. Pre-plant incorporated ESN (as compared to urea) improved the corn yield at one site in Arkansas. When tested at two sites in Arkansas, ESN improved seedcotton yield at one site but produced yields equal to urea at the second site.
Preplant incorporated ESN® performed better than urea on corn in Arkansas and cotton in one of the two sites in Arkansas. The ESN® performed similarly or worse than UAN solution or urea in Alabama (corn), North Carolina (corn and wheat), Oklahoma (wheat) and Texas (grain sorghum).
