Effective nitrogen? That’s a given. Responsive nitrogen? That’s amazing. Crops really go for ESN^® SMART NITROGEN^®, and so does your bottom line. That’s because its unique technology responds to the same factors that spur plant growth. How does it do it? ESN is a urea granule encapsulated in a polymer coating that protects the nitrogen from loss through leaching, volatilization and denitrification.

Maximize Yield. >> Learn More
