Why Liquid Nitrogen Outperforms Granular Fertilizers
As technology and agronomy advance, liquid nitrogen is emerging as the superior option. AgriTec International’s Nitro-Maxx+ stands at the forefront of this transition, offering farmers a better, smarter, and more regenerative way to feed their crops. AgriTec’s Nitro-Maxx+ exemplifies why liquid nitrogen outperforms granular fertilizers, and why now is the time to make the switch.
The Problem With Granular Nitrogen
Granular nitrogen products, such as dry urea or ammonium nitrate, have long been a staple on American farms. But they come with significant downsides:
High Dissipation and Volatility: Dry nitrogen, especially urea, is highly volatile. As much as 50% of the applied nitrogen can evaporate before it ever reaches the root zone, especially without timely rainfall or incorporation. That’s money and nutrients literally vanishing into thin air.
Risk of Burn: Granular nitrogen often sits concentrated in clumps, leading to “hot spots” that can burn roots and foliage, especially during dry spells.
Slow and Uneven Availability: Granular nitrogen relies on microbial activity and rainfall to break down and become available to plants. This can lead to nutrient lag, especially in cool or compacted soils.
Smarter Nitrogen for Healthier Fields
Enter Nitro-Maxx+, AgriTec’s flagship liquid nitrogen fertilizer, engineered to solve all the above issues and more. It’s not just another liquid Nitrogen, this is next-generation nitrogen, built for today’s precision ag systems and tomorrow’s regenerative farming practices.
Here’s how Nitro-Maxx+ stands apart:
Extended Slow-Release Formula: Nitro-Maxx+ features a controlled-release nitrogen formula that provides consistent feed over 30 to 60 days. Rather than flooding the soil with nitrogen all at once, it releases only what the plant needs, when it needs it.
- Result: Less loss, more efficient uptake, and greener, stronger plants from root to canopy.
Zero Risk of Burn: Because granular misapplication often leads to scorched leaves or stunted growth, liquid is a more user-friendly choice. Nitro-Maxx+ is safe for foliar, in-furrow, and soil applications, thanks to its low-salt index and chelated formula.
- Result: Confident applications without harming seed, seedling, or root systems.
Maximum Nutrient Retention: Nitro-Maxx+ contains organic matter and trace minerals, enhancing soil structure and microbial activity. These additives improve nitrogen retention, reduce leaching, and increase plant availability.
- Result: Up to 6–7 times more available nitrogen compared to traditional dry urea.
Built-In Carrier Agents for Delivery: One of Nitro-Maxx+’s secret weapons is its carrier agents, which transport nutrients directly into plant tissues. These specialized agents bypass traditional uptake bottlenecks, making the applied N immediately usable by the plant.
- Result: Faster growth, thicker stands, and increased yield potential, without needing perfect weather.
Performance That Speaks Volumes
In side-by-side trials, fields treated with Nitro-Maxx+ showed:
- 30–50% more uniform growth
- Stronger vegetative development within 7–10 days
- Darker leaf color, indicating higher chlorophyll and photosynthesis rates
- Improved yield per acre versus 19-19-19 and other standard blends
Even more impressive: growers are seeing cost-per-acre savings because less total nitrogen is required when the nutrient is actually being absorbed efficiently.
Liquid Nitrogen & Regenerative Agriculture
As more farms shift toward regenerative ag, which focuses on building long-term soil health and resilience, the need for smarter fertilizers becomes clear. Granular nitrogen often damages the very biological systems regenerative farmers seek to protect.
Nitro-Maxx+ is Regenerative-Ready:
Low salt, non-corrosive formula encourages microbial activity
Contains organic matter to support soil structure and carbon content
Reduces over-application and nutrient runoff
Pairs well with cover cropping and no-till systems
In regenerative systems, it’s not just about feeding the plant, it’s about feeding the soil. Nitro-Maxx+ does both.
Easy Spray, Pivot, or In-Furrow Application
Unlike bulky granular spreaders, Nitro-Maxx+ is compatible with:
- Boom or flood sprayers
- In-furrow delivery via planters
Center pivots or fertigation systems - Aerial application
No more scheduling fertilizer applications around rainfall or tractor passes. With Nitro-Maxx+, you can control timing and coverage with unmatched precision.
Application Rates & Flexibility
- Standard Rate: 6–10 gallons/acre
- Compatibility: Can be tank-mixed (always jar test first)
- Timing: Ideal at early vegetative stages but effective throughout the growing season
For crops like corn, wheat, hay, and soybeans, Nitro-Maxx+ delivers reliable nitrogen nutrition from emergence to canopy closure.
