ESN is the leading environmentally safe nitrogen source. A polymer coating controls the nitrogen released, helping growers maximize crop production while protecting against nitrogen loss to the environment. The website includes a variety of resources on nitrogen management, research results and detailed handing and use recommendations. It also outlines applications of ESN technology across a diverse range of crops and soil types. ESN is the only controlled-release nitrogen source widely available for agriculture applications.
