Improve crop yield without sacrificing quality

Yara field studies have shown that nitrogen and NPK fertilizers containing ammonium nitrate have consistently returned higher yield and better crop quality crop than urea and UAN.

Combining high-quality nitrate-based fertilizer with balanced nutrition and precision farming technology is the best way to increase the yield of your crops without compromising on their quality.

How can a nitrate-based solution improve your crop performance?

Increased yield and increased income

• At identical nitrogen application rates, nitrates are proven to achieve increased yield than urea-based fertilisers.
• Higher grain nitrogen content, by optimizing final N applications. [i]
• Targeted fertilization through precision measurement and digital tools.

Improved quality for maximum value

• Improved quality. Proteins drive quality, and nitrogen is a key factor for protein synthesis. [ii]
• Higher priced crops. Yara´s fertilizers and digital tools can help increase protein content and value.
• Meet your plants’ sulfur needs. Using a tailored nitrate and sulfur fertilization program significantly increases both yield and quality. [iii]

Reliable performance and stability

• Avoid spreading errors and loss. Even light breezes can cause significantly higher spreading errors with urea than with CAN.
• Use available water more efficiently. Less water is required to produce a ton of grain with optimized nitrogen supply.
• Reduced lodging with sensor-controlled fertilization and growth regulator application. [iv]
