Limus ® increases application flexibility
Limus ® improves yield by 5% compared to unprotected urea/UAN
ADAS trials
In a comprehensive set of replicated trials carried out by ADAS, we looked at the performance of Limus ® protected urea versus unprotected granular urea, ammonium nitrate and a competing urease inhibitor. Six different sites were identifed across the country that offered a range of different soil types and feld conditions.

Relative yield increase (%) of Limus ® vs. unprotected urea
ADAS results
Across the six replicated trials, the results mirrored our extensive global data set. At a rate of 260kg/ ha N, Limus ® protected granular urea outperformed unprotected urea by an average of 5%, increasing yields by 0.5t/ha. Yield differences varied, most likely reflecting the extent of ammonia emissions at each site. Limus ® safeguards your investment from such losses, ensuring optimal nitrogen is available for your crop.

Urea based fertilisers should be applied shortly before rainfall in order to reduce ammonia losses from volatilisation. Traditionally, higher rates are used, or additional applications are made, to compensate for the losses that can often occur in our unpredictable maritime climate. Limus ® protected urea fertilisers can be applied independent of weather conditions as they effectively prevent these losses. This not only simplifies fertilisation programmes considerably, it also allows for greater exibility and a more effcient use of resources.

We have been extensively testing the yield performance of Limus ® in the feld for a number of years, across a range of crops. Across 107 BASF trials, Limus ® protected urea/ UAN improved yield by an average of 5%, demonstrating that the reduction in losses achieved with Limus ® ensured greater availability of nitrogen for uptake, resulting in higher yields.
