Water Soluble Nitrogen Fertilizer is More Efficient and Cost-Effective
Nitrogen is the fuel behind plant growth. It drives lush foliage, strong stems, vigorous root development, and ultimately, the yield potential of nearly every crop grown today. Yet, many farmers still remain hesitant to make the switch from conventional granular fertilizers to regenerative liquid nitrogen fertilizer. AgriTec believes water soluble nitrogen fertilizer is more efficient and cost-effective at helping your fields. Through years of development and field testing, Nitro-Maxx+ and Pro-Sul have dramatically improved and even outperformed traditional granular fertilizers.
Nitrogen’s Essential Role
Plants rely on nitrogen to produce chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green color and is vital to photosynthesis. Without adequate nitrogen, growth is stunted, foliage yellows, and yields drop. Yet, while it’s abundant in the atmosphere, nitrogen in its natural form isn’t accessible to plants. That’s where soil-applied nitrogen fertilizers come in.
However, not all nitrogen fertilizers are created equal. Granular forms like urea and ammonium nitrate often suffer from dissipation, volatilization, and leaching, especially when applied under less-than-perfect conditions. As a result, a significant portion of your nitrogen investment literally evaporates into thin air or runs off before it ever nourishes your crop.
Why Water Soluble Nitrogen Fertilizer is Better
Unlike granular products that sit on the soil surface, water soluble nitrogen fertilizer in liquid form gets into the soil fast. This means:
- Immediate availability to plants
- Lower risk of volatilization
- Even distribution across your field
- Compatibility with foliar feeds, fertigation, and in-furrow systems
It also allows for precision application throughout the season, delivering nitrogen when and where your crop needs it most.
Let’s take a closer look at how Nitro-Maxx+ and Pro-Sul are setting new standards in nitrogen efficiency and crop performance.
Nitro-Maxx+ Slow-Release Nitrogen
AgriTec’s Nitro-Maxx+ is a slow-release water soluble nitrogen fertilizer designed for long-lasting performance. Unlike granular urea, which is prone to rapid dissipation, Nitro-Maxx+ is formulated to release nitrogen steadily over time. This ensures plants receive a continuous, balanced supply without the risk of nitrogen burn or stunted growth.
Key Benefits of Nitro-Maxx+:
Slow-release technology eliminates spikes and drop-offs in nitrogen availability
Carrier agents enhance absorption directly through the root zone
Organic matter and trace minerals improve plant health and microbial activity
Safe to apply across various growth stages, including foliar or soil applications
Field tests show that Nitro-Maxx+ delivers up to 6–7 times more available nitrogen compared to dry urea, especially in hot or windy conditions where volatilization is a major issue.
By minimizing loss and maximizing uptake, Nitro-Maxx+ makes every gallon count. Whether you’re top-dressing corn, greening up hay, or boosting beans, this water soluble nitrogen fertilizer delivers results you can see.
Pro-Sul: Nitrogen and Sulfur in One
Pro-Sul (also known as Nitro-Sul) combines 12% nitrogen and 26% sulfur in a liquid formulation that enhances both nitrogen utilization and overall soil fertility. This is especially critical in fields where sulfur deficiencies are limiting crop performance, a growing issue across many regions due to reductions in atmospheric sulfur.
Why Nitrogen-Sulfur Balance Matters:
Sulfur is essential for protein synthesis and helps activate key enzymes in the plant. Without enough sulfur, nitrogen becomes less effective. Pro-Sul bridges that gap, helping unlock other nutrients like phosphorus, zinc, and manganese in the soil.
Advantages of Pro-Sul:
Water soluble nitrogen fertilizer ensures fast and effective uptake
Thiosulfate form of sulfur converts gradually into sulfate, supporting long-term plant nutrition
Compatible with most NPK blends, perfect for tank mixes
Excellent for sulfur-deficient soils, especially sandy or heavily irrigated fields
When paired with Pro-Cal or Advanced-Cal for calcium balancing, Pro-Sul offers a comprehensive nutrient solution that enhances CEC (cation exchange capacity), increases nutrient efficiency, and boosts plant vitality.
Liquid Nitrogen Saves Time, Money, and Effort
Let’s face it: applying granular nitrogen is labor-intensive. It requires heavy equipment, consistent moisture, and careful timing to avoid losses. Liquid options like Nitro-Maxx+ and Pro-Sul streamline the entire process.
Here’s how they outperform traditional granular nitrogen fertilizers:
Feature | Granular Nitrogen | Water Soluble Nitrogen Fertilizer (Nitro-Maxx+ / Pro-Sul) |
Nitrogen Availability | Delayed; requires breakdown | Immediate & extended release |
Application Timing | Limited flexibility | Flexible (foliar, soil, in-furrow) |
Dissipation Losses | High (up to 50%) | Minimal with proper use |
Risk of Burning | High with urea | Low or none with slow-release |
Labor Requirements | High | Low (can be sprayed or fertigated) |
Nutrient Blending | Limited | Easily blended with other liquids |
Environmental Impact | Risk of runoff & leaching | Less runoff, more efficient use |
Proven Results in the Field
Across thousands of acres and multiple crop types, including corn, wheat, soybeans, pastures, and hay, AgriTec customers are seeing the difference:
- More even crop growth and canopy closure
- Reduced input costs per acre due to lower application rates
- Increased protein levels and plant health
- Higher yields and quicker green-up in pastures
By choosing a water soluble nitrogen fertilizer like Nitro-Maxx+ or Pro-Sul, farmers gain control over how, when, and how much nitrogen their crops receive. No more “apply and pray”, just precision, consistency, and results.
Easy to Use, Easy to Apply
AgriTec’s liquid nitrogen products are designed for maximum ease of use. They’re compatible with most common application systems:
- Broadcast sprayers
- Pivot and alternative irrigation
- In-furrow planter systems
- Aerial applications
And because they’re liquid, there’s no need to wait for a rain event to activate them, these fertilizers start working the moment they hit the ground.
Conclusion
If you’re still using granular nitrogen as your go-to source, now is the time to upgrade. With Nitro-Maxx+ and Pro-Sul, you’re not just applying nitrogen, you’re delivering precision nutrition that works with your soil, not against it.
Whether you’re aiming to improve growth, stretch your fertilizer budget, or gain more consistency across your fields, these water soluble nitrogen fertilizer options give you the edge.
