Improve your nitrogen management with PurYield

Some crops, such as corn, cereal, canola and potatoes, require large amounts of nitrogen to produce high yields. But too much nitrogen will have an impact on the environment. You can avoid this by ensuring that you always apply the right rate at the right time, with PurYield controlled-release nitrogen.

This next-generation fertilizer was developed through a partnership between Sollio Agriculture and Pursell. Not only is PurYield an excellent source of nitrogen for pre-seeding but it also volatilizes less than conventional sources of nitrogen when broadcast. This means:

• Higher yields

• Higher return on investment

• Fewer applications in the field

• Fewer losses due to leaching

• Fewer greenhouse gas emissions 
   

How controlled-release nitrogen works

PurYield comes in the form of homogeneous pink polymer-coated granules. The polymer protects the nitrogen and releases it as the soil temperature rises, in perfect synchronization with the plant’s growth.

How the polymer-coating technology works

• 30%–40% of the nitrogen is released in the first month, assuming a soil temperature of 5°C–15°C.

• Maximum release occurs when the soil temperature reaches 15°C–20°C.

• On average, 80%–90% of the nitrogen is released within 60–70 days.

• The technology delivers nutrients to the plants when they need them, reducing potential losses.

PurYield is a highly concentrated fertilizer (guaranteed analysis of 45–0–0) with a density of 77 kg/hL, making it perfectly compatible with urea and ammonium sulphate. However, it should never be mixed with nitrate-based nitrogen.
 

Promising results

There’s no doubt about it. Helping Canadian farmers reach their full potential in the spirit of sustainable agriculture requires cutting-edge fertilizers like PurYield.
