Looking for Economical Solutions to Maximize Turf Performance? NEW DuoTech™ - Dual Nitrogen Stabilizer Technology

June 1, 2023

Do you spray nitrogen (N) as a method of fertilizer application? Urea fertilizer is an economical choice that results in rapid plant response in terms of both green-up and top growth. On the downside, it is highly susceptible to loss through ammonia volatilization, leaching, and denitrification. This loss means that turf managers can lose a lot of plant response, as well as money on their N investment. Liquid slow-release fertilizers that extend and conserve N for more efficient plant use are available like urea-triazone, but these solutions can be expensive. What if there was a way to protect your N (dissolved urea, ammonium sulfate, or UAN) to prevent nitrogen loss, increase plant uptake, improve Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE), and extend the length of time your N remains plant-available? And do this all economically?


DuoTech™ Dual Nitrogen Stabilizer Technology could be your answer. The latest innovation from Allied Nutrients, DuoTech is a concentrated soluble fertilizer additive that can be added to your spray tank along with urea, ammonium sulfate, or UAN to stabilize fertilizer nitrogen. DuoTech prevents loss, extends the longevity of N for up to 12 weeks (creating the effect of a slow-release fertilizer), and increases the amount of N absorbed by the turf. DuoTech contains two powerful nitrogen stabilizers: NBPT [N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide], and DCD (dicyandiamide). Unlike many surface-treated stabilized nitrogen fertilizers, DuoTech is formulated to deliver both stabilizers at proven effective rates when used according to label directions. DuoTech is also an economical solution: 50 pounds of urea can be treated for about five dollars, much less than the additional cost of a liquid slow-release fertilizer such as urea-triazone. This small investment conserves nitrogen, protecting the environment, increasing Nitrogen Use Efficiency, and extracting greater value from your fertilizer application.

Mini Fertilizers Equal BIG Benefits: Unlocking the Unique Advantages of Mini-SGN Fertilizers for Turf and Ornamentals

April 3, 2024
Many turf managers are aware that fertilizers come in various Size Guide Numbers (SGN), indicating different granular sizes. Among them are micro, mini, and standard grades commonly used in turf management. While turf managers often select SGN based on factors like turf type, traffic, or price, there are numerous other reasons to consider a smaller SGN for its added benefits. Below are the advantages that a Mini-SGN fertilizer can offer compared to standard SGN fertilizers for turfgrass and ornamental care:
