2 ALZON liquid Precision in every drop. ALZON liquid contains the mixture of urea nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen which is particularly advantageous for optimal plant nutrition. The brand quality of ALZON liquid guarantees optimal plant compatibility. The nitrogen stabilisation reduces nitrogen losses to a minimum and guarantees secure yields. A straightforward and gentle application with common spray technology is just as much a matter of course as the possibilities for combination with plant protection agents, growth regulators and micro nutrients while observing the manufacturer s instructions. Use the advantages of nitrogen stabilisation Considerable advantages are gained through nitrogen stabilisation: Fewer part applications are required, application dates can be organized with more variety and nitrogen losses are minimized. If nothing else, the yields and qualities are noticeably improved when compared to customary liquid fertilisers. ALZON liquid brings better performance with fewer crossings to Comparable fertiliser UAN Yield N-uptake Economizing on crossings LAF Cunnersdorf: Average values of static long-term test, 2 locations, 1994 to 2016; a total of 36 tests in different crops Accuracy makes the difference Spreading errors are stress on the nerves and they cost money. They are not initially perceptible up to a magnitude of 25 % but they can lead to noticeable loss of yield. Liquid fertilisers can display their strengths when accuracy is crucial. With ALZON liquid it is easier to adhere to the distance requirements of the Fertilisation Ordinance. The very precise fertiliser application guarantees the full fertiliser quantity and thus yield right up to the edge. The reason for this is the small coefficient of variation for liquid fertilisation of an average of just 3.4 %.

3 ALZON liquid provision of nitrogen as required! Potential nitrogen losses in the form of nitrate and nitrous oxide are reduced to a minimum by the use of ALZON liquid. The N-fertiliser quantity can be reduced by 5 to 10 % for identical yields. This leads to a clear increase in N-efficiency and pressure on the N-balance is relieved sustainably. Combine the fertiliser applications and save work and time. This puts you on the safe side and the nitrogen is already at the root if it is dry. High yields and optimal harvest quality Application right to the edge and very good plant availability Economy of part applications and greater flexibility during application ALZON liquid is heavier than water ALZON liquid has a density of 1.28 g/cm³. This should be taken into consideration for the fertiliser calculation, transport and storage. It is easy to calculate: 100 kg of ALZON liquid contain 28 kg N. The conversion factor of kg N to kg ALZON liquid is liters of ALZON liquid contain 36 kg N.

4 It depends on the drop size. For liquid fertilisation with nitrogen, a large proportion of the nutrients 80 to 95 % will be absorbed via the soil. Only 5 to 20 % of the N-uptake occurs via the leaf. Coarse drops are the aim The creation of coarse drops succeeds thanks to the use of anti-drift nozzles (ADN and IN nozzles) with a low spray pressure (approx. 2 bar). A coarse drop spectrum is thus achieved. Special liquid fertiliser- (LF) or multi-hole nozzles should preferably be used under critical conditions in order to apply the liquid fertiliser in a rain formation even in large quantities. drops Ø smaller than 0.1 mm drift off drops Ø bigger than 0.3 mm roll of the leaf wind drops Ø 0.1 to 0.3 mm stick to the plant The nozzle selection is decisive ALZON liquid can be applied evenly, with precise dosage and right up to the edge with customary plant protection technology. All nozzles are well suited for the start of spring growth or at sowing. The following applies for fertilisation in crop formations: The drops should be greater for more sensitive plants and the spray pressure should be lower. The choice of nozzle can have a decisive effect on the plant compatibility. We recommend injector, anti-drift or multi-hole nozzles from the second application in cereals or oilseed rape. The use of drag hoses or pipes is recommended for later application and generally the time of ear emergence, for unfavorable weather conditions or in sensitive crops. The choice of nozzle must ensure the effectiveness of the combination partners for the combined use of ALZON liquid, with plant protection agents in particular. Anti-drift nozzles or injector nozzles will preferably be considered here while taking heed of legal requirements.

5 Nitrogen stabilises. This is how it works. The stabilisation of the nitrogen leads to particularly sustainable and efficient plant nutrition. The highly efficient nitrification inhibitors in ALZON liquid thereby delay the conversion of the nitrogen from stable ammonium into the mobile nitrate form by six to ten weeks. In the sense of the Fertilisation Ordinance, ALZON liquid helps to reduce the risk of nitrate displacement and washout and also nitrous oxide emissions in the event of heavier precipitations. The nitrate displacement can be reduced by up to 50 %. Nitrous oxide emissions are even reduced by up to 75 %. The stabilised nitrogen remains in the top soil area and is available to the plants in ammonium form at all times and protected against leaching into deeper soil layers. Earlier fertilisation dates and the possible combination of part applications, particularly for presummer dryness, ensures that sufficient nitrogen is always present in the root area and is available as required and at the correct time regardless of the weather. This results in high yields and good quality.

In this case manufacturer s instructions should be followed carefully. Advantages under critical weather conditions in particular N-quantity reduction for root crops, maize and rye possible Reduction of the Nmin-content in the soil following the harvest by 6 to 11 % Reduction of N-losses through N-displacement and output and also as a consequence of denitrification
