Introducing Limus ®
Limus ® reduces ammonia emissions by up to 98%
Limus ® is a highly effective and unique, dual-active urease inhibitor from BASF, available as both protected urea and as a tank mix additive for UAN
Nitrogen use efficiency Reducing ammonia losses allows the applied urea nitrogen to work more efficiently and enhance nitrogen nutrition. This often leads to higher yields or nitrogen fertiliser savings, as well as an improved environmental footprint. Limus ® is the most effective solution for the reduction of ammonia losses and for increasing nitrogen uptake by plants from urea containing fertilisers. Reduction of ammonia emissions We have extensively tested the effcacy of Limus ® in both laboratory conditions and in the feld, and time and time again it has proven its strength as a highly effective urease inhibitor, reducing ammonia emissions by up to 98%. In the feld, closed chamber devices with acid treated foam are used to measure ammonia emissions. Across 93 BASF trials, up to 98% reduction was achieved with an average reduction of 70%. Whilst in the laboratory, we have assessed its performance on a range of different soil types. Reductions of up to 98% were also achieved with an average reduction of 83%.
The most effective urease inhibitor Limus ® is the only urease inhibitor available with two active ingredients (NBPT and NPPT), enabling it to bind to a wider variety of urease enzymes, compared to a standard urease inhibitor, thus more effectively protecting the urea from ammonia volatilisation. This dual-active combination, along with a multi-patented, innovative formulation makes Limus ® the most effective urease inhibitor available.
