VALUES in ACTION Richardson Pioneer Launches Own Nitrogen Stabilizer Nitrogen fertilizers are an important investment applied to crops to ensure agronomic success. Nitrogen is susceptible to loss through volatilization, denitrification, and leaching. These processes can take nitrogen away from the plants that need it and release it into the environment, which impacts greenhouse gas emissions and water quality. Nitrogen stabilizers are well-researched products that are proven to slow the release of nitrogen. This delay in nutrient release ensures plant available nitrogen isn’t lost to the environment before the crop has an opportunity to use it. As part of the 4R Nutrient Stewardship approach, Richardson Pioneer launched its own proprietary nitrogen stabilizer product in 2022.
CIRRUSX™ is a liquid formulation urease inhibitor that can be blended with UAN is used to treat urea. Richardson Pioneer is the industry leader in offering state-of-the-art fertilizer treater technology.
“When nitrogen fertilizer is applied efficiently, less loss occurs to the atmosphere. We strongly believe our customers are sustainable and among world leaders when it comes to fertilizer best practices.” - Steve Biggar (Assistant Vice-President, Fertilizer and Energy Products)
