How does it do it?
Extending nitrogen availability within the rooting zone increases the chances of a crop fulfilling its potential. There have been many trials across the UK and Europe examining the impact Instinct has on maize yield, the results of which are shown in the chart below.
In the UK, yield increases of more than 10% have been seen, especially if the crop is grown on light soils in high rainfall areas and where total nitrogen rates were moderate. These trials were conducted using a variety of fertiliser types – urea, UAN, AN, slurry and digestate.
If the fertiliser contains ammonium, Instinct stabilises the ammonium, keeping more in the soil for longer, just when the crop needs it.
