NovaTec^®

Description

NovaTec^® is a NPK complex fertilizer with nitrification inhibitor DMPP (3,4-dimethylpyrazolphosphate). The nitrification inhibitor reduces N leaching and increases N efficiency. During the active phase of DMPP (4-10 weeks, depending on soil temperature, soil type and soil humidity), the transformation of ammonium to nitrate is delayed. As a result, N availability is further adapted to the plants’ requirements and N efficiency is increased.
The nitrification inhibitor technology is combined with most of COMPO EXPERT’s Blaukorn^® and ENPEKA fertilizer formulas, giving access not only to SOP-based formulas for usage in horticulture but to all kind of agricultural crops as well.

Benefits

• Lower N losses from leaching and volatilization
• Fast acting nitrogen source with both ammonium and nitrate N
• Reduced number of applications required
• Improved yield and quality due to extended N supply and increased ammonium nutrition
• Positive pH effect in the root zone (acidification of the rhizosphere gives superior P and micronutrient availability)
• Crops develop and ripen more evenly due to a stabilized N supply
• Can help to reduce free nitrate levels in fresh mass
• Highly available source of phosphate (> 80 % water-soluble)
• Low in dust and high in granule strength for best spreading properties
