Create return customers. Improve ROI. Get the right enhanced Efficiency Fertilizer.

Enhanced efficiency fertilizers (EEFs) are forms of fertilizer designed to reduce nutrient losses to the environment.

Help customers protect their investment with ESN Smart Nitrogen.

Volatile weather conditions mean growers need to change how they handle their nitrogen. Increased rainfall followed by long dry spells and warm winters can lead to increased nitrogen losses if growers don’t plan accordingly and protect their nitrogen investment. Studies have shown that nitrogen losses can reach up to 40% or more if urea is applied incorrectly.

As 4R Nutrient Stewardship (Right Source @ Right Rate, Right Time, Right Place®) gains recognition in Canada and internationally as a best practice for on-farm nutrient management, growers are increasingly turning to agri-retailers and their CCAs for advice on implementing the program on their own acres. In fact, 56 per cent of farmers in 2016 said they rely on their local agri-retailer for information on the 4Rs.

This is a reminder to members of the fertilizer industry that as of January 12, 2018, all ammonia nurse, applicator, portable and highway tanks must be in compliance with the new Canadian Standards Association (CSA) B620-14 and B622-14 Standards.
